Middle schoolers redesign their school to make it more energy efficient, and create a model of their design. Learners get together in groups of 5, and they take on the task of making their school more energy efficient. To do this, they...

Upper graders represent multiplication of a two-digit number by a two-digit number as the area of a rectangle with dimensions of the two factors. They find patterns for the number of different base ten blocks in a rectangle representing...

Pairs of geometry whizzes work together to determine which of three differently shaped cylinders will have the greatest volume. Pupils cut out the three rectangles embedded in the plan, and tape them together to form a cylinder. From...

Build an interest and appreciation for architecture in your young learners with this fun 10-lesson art unit. Engaging children in using their five senses, the class first observes the environment around them, paying...

Fourth graders construct squares and rectanges in order to help them find areas and perimeters. They gain an understanding of area and perimeter through teacher modeling and then they construct squares and rectangles.

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...

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...

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Students learn the difference between perimeter and area by watching a video and a hands on activity.

In this rectangles worksheet, 4th graders draw a rectangle with the same area as one displayed on the worksheet and then find the perimeter of each.

Fourth graders discover that a polygon is a closed figure formed by line segments, and that the perimeter of a polygon is the sum of the lengths of its sides. They utilize a worksheet imbedded in this plan to gain lots of practice with...

Eighth graders complete math problems given in this instructional activity, 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...

Seventh graders gather data to determine the relationships between the base and height of rectangles with fixed perimeters and express the relationships using words and symbols. Students build rectangles with pipe cleaners. They create...

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.

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.

For this math worksheet, 4th graders complete a quick set of math problems where they first look at two rectangles and find the difference between the two in centimeters. Then, they compare two figures are select which fraction best...

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...

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...

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

Students compare, resize, and check various shapes by size using a comparison mat from the MathKeys program. Working in pairs, they place three similar shapes on the screen and state which is the largest and smallest in area. They also...

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...

Sixth graders analyze expressions and equations. In this algebra instructional activity, 6th graders write algebraic sentences and solve for an unknown in a one-step equation. This instructional activity uses the formulas for the...

In this math worksheet, students measure the length, width and perimeter of objects in their home (window, rug, table, blanket, door, refrigerator and student's choice). They notate their findings and make a little book.

Sixth graders explore area and perimeter. For this online interactive area and perimeter lesson, 6th graders investigate why the perimeter of rectangles can vary considerably even when the area is held constant. Students construct...
