Students identify polygons and calculate perimeter. For this geometric shapes lesson, students complete a worksheet identifying various polygons and calculating the perimeter of triangles and quadrilaterals.

Eighth graders complete math problems given in this lesson, where they find the perimeter and area of specific figures. They estimate the perimeter and area of shapes and figures and then complete the mathematical formula to find the...

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...

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.

Fourth graders find the perimeter of a geometric shape by adding the lengths of the sides. They find the area of a square or rectangle by counting square units. Students use multiplication to find the area of a rectangle. They estimate...

For this measurement worksheet, students explore methods to measure the thickness of foil. They write an essay on how they calculated the thickness of the foil, and the number of atoms thick it is. Students create labeled sketches to...

In this forming equations worksheet, students write equations for the perimeter of 12 shapes. Students are given the actual measurement of the perimeter and the measurement of the sides is given in terms of a variable. Students then use...

Young scholars calculate the perimeter of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students relate properties of polygons to the real world. They find length, midpoint and slope.

In this geometry instructional activity, students calculate the length of the sides of a given triangle. They also find the perimeter and area of the triangles given its side values. There is an answer key with this problem.

Fourth graders calculate volume. In this volume activity, 4th graders calculate, estimate, and compare units of volume in English and metric systems.

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

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.

Fifth graders engage in the solving of a real life application problem using the concept of calculating perimeter. They apply the operations of calculating with the polynomials for finding the perimeter of triangles,quadrilaterals, and...

High schoolers participate in a hands-on activity that shows the independence of perimeter and area for simple irregular figures.

Pupils visit www.explorelearning.com/ Website to solve problems in area and perimeter. Next, they locate the vertex of a quadratic equation. In groups, students construct application problems and exchange them with other groups to solve.

Tenth graders calculate area and perimeter based on the dimensions of a living room. They use these calculations to respond to questions about supplies needed for painting and carpeting the room. Students use math to solve problems and...

Pupils calculate the surface area of a room. For this math lesson, students estimate the cost to paint the walls. After watching the video, they compare traditional procedure of painting walls to new technology.

In this grade four geometry worksheet, 4th graders calculate the perimeter of a square. Students explore how the area of a square can be found by multiplying the length of the square by its width.
