Seventh graders examine the process of constructing a site plan map at archaeological sites. They discuss the process of mapping techniques and calculation of percentages, create a plan site map of a cellar at Jamestown, and calculate...

Estimate the value of one of the most famous irrational numbers. The hands-on instructional activity instructs classmates to measure the circumference and diameters of circles using yarn. The ratio of these quantities defines pi.

Students discover the relationship between the circumference of a circle and its diameter. They find the length of an arc of a circle.Students use estimation strategies in real-world applications to predict results (i.e., interpolation...

Sixth graders apply problem solving strategies to work with a real life situation in which they need to determine the area. They determine the area of chicken runs that are rectangular in shape when give a partial perimeter.

Students compare, classify and calculate the area of geometric figures such as rectangles, squares, circles and triangles.

What does popcorn have to do with math?  Seventh grade mathematicians are provided an opportunity to develop a conceptual understanding of the formula for volume and to use it as a tool to solve problems. The lesson begins with a...

Junior geometers discover that polygons can be decomposed into triangles and that the number of triangles can be determined by a rule. Note that the Geometer’s Sketchpad® software is required to carry out all components of this...

Eighth graders discover how the change in the dimensions of a shape cause a change in the overall area of the shape, but the perimeter stay the same. They, in groups, go out to the playground and construct large areas using stakes and rope.

Sixth graders apply knowledge of how to calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They determine why it is inappropriate to measure the area of land by its perimeter which is done in certain areas of New Guinea. They complete a...

Students analyze and demonstrate how a circle can be measured in square units and examine how diameter, circumference and radius are related.

Seventh graders review the process of finding the area of a rectangle and complete a couple of examples as a class. They discuss what a parallelogram is and what the formula would be for finding its area. They listen to an explanation...

Your young learners will enjoy having quick access to this reference sheet that includes a multiplication chart, formulas for perimeter, area, and volume, place value chart, fraction chart, basic types of polygons, triangles and lines...

The objective of this activity is to find the percent of the area of a two squares overlapping. Mathematicians find the ratio of area for the part that overlaps to the rectangle formed. The final answer is a percent as a rate per 100....

In this consumer mathematics activity, students explore a variety of topics in mathematics including simple interest, perimeter, area, volume, translating words into symbols, percentage problems and mortgage calculations. The fourteen...

Fourth graders find the area and perimeters of squares and rectangles using a calculator to check their multiplication. They use the appropriate formulas to find the area and perimeter of the given geometric shapes.

Students explore circles through the use of octagons. They inscribe a circle in a regular octagon and find the area and perimeter of the hexagon with respect to the radius of the circle. Students present their findings to the class.

In this Care Homework worksheet, students solve a variety of multiple digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems that include fractions, decimals, and percentages. They demonstrate knowledge of geometric formulas...

Students design a collage of pictures for a yearbook that make a shape. They determine the area of the shape and the price of putting the collage in the yearbook.

Young scholars identify real world problems from given story problems. In this story problem lesson, students find places, events or items in the school environment that can be used to create story problems. Young scholars take a picture...

Students compute the area of triangles in a computer program. In this measurement lesson plan, students complete 5 easy, 5 medium, and 5 hard problems.

Learners identify the pattern in a problem. In this geometry instructional activity, students make predictions, collect and analyze data. They apply the idea of scales and measurements to the real world.

In this geometry worksheet, students calculate the midpoint and distance between two points. They use the correct formula to solve the area and perimeter of polygons. There are 20 multiple choice questions with an answer key.

Students identify basic geometric shapes using Geogebra. In this geometry lesson, students work on a laptop as they explore different geometric shapes. They calculate the area and perimeter of triangles.
