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...

Young scholars use their hands, feet, computer, and rulers to measure the perimeter of objects. For this measurement lesson plan, students measure objects around the room and computer generated shapes.

In this math worksheet, middle schoolers find the area and perimeter of the regular and irregular polygons. They pay attention to use the proper measurements for calculation.

Young geometers need a clear understanding of perimeter, volume, and area. This lesson provides a worksheet to help small groups of learners to calculate various measurements of objects and choose the proper units for measurement. It...

Young scholars understand where the number for pi comes from. They understand and use the formula for circumference. Students measure the circles given out and the diameters of those circles and record the results on their worksheet.

Introduce the day's lesson by reading Jack and The Beanstalk by Richard Walker, and then review the concept of area with your class. We don't always need rulers to measure, though! Teach learners how to use their hands to help us measure...

For this math worksheet, middle schoolers find the area of the triangles, the perimeter of the irregular shape, and the diagonal of the cube.

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry activity, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of triangles.

In this math learning exercise, students look for the perimeter and area of the regular and irregular shapes. The answers are on page 2.

Students use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. For this geometry lesson, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are included...

Acute angles, nets, and vertices are only a few terms that a set of flash cards includes. Among the 108 cards, two types are available; word cards printed in bold-faced lettering, and corresponding definition cards equipped with an...

In this skills review instructional activity, students answer 10 questions that spiral review volume, unit conversions, perimeter and area of an irregular figure, and sketching views from a base plan.

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...

Sixth graders examine the causes of the stock market crash of 1929.  In this integrated math/history unit on the stock market, 6th graders study, research, and read stocks, visit a local bank, and create a PowerPoint to show the...

Students create collages using the irregular-shaped and sized pieces, decorative stitching, and applied or painted motifs that reflect the Crazy-Quilt style, and explain how and why their design fits into that style.

Students follow written directions to construct their own tangram. In this tangram activity, students use their tangram to develop original figures that illustrate characters and/or objects from their favorite nursery rhyme. Students...

Students explore measurements by analyzing geometric shapes. In this surface area lesson, students identify the terms volume, weight, perimeter and area in order to find the requested measurements of specific polygons. Students utilize...

Fifth graders find the area and volume of buildings. In this architecture lesson, 5th graders look at the drawings of three historic Tennessee buildings. They use these to help find the area and volume of the building. 

Students explore geometry by using computer applications. In this spatial measurement lesson, students discuss the difference between area, weight, volume and other forms of measurement. Students utilize computer applications to find the...

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

Sixth graders derive an original formula for calculating the area of an irregular figure.

Students challenge "common knowledge" against newly learned estimation strategies and put those strategies into use. They consider variables in estimating different groups of objects and practice skills of representing numbers.

Students explore the concept of estimating and organizing a group of objects into an array to count the exact number of items. They create their own arrays and practice elements of estimation.

Fifth graders determine that carbon dioxide is a gas given off during respiration and that oxygent is the gas that is absorbed during respiration. They determine the air capacity of the lungs.
