Students analyze the measurements of rectangles. In this analysis lesson, students will investigate patterns by looking at ratios. Students will also hypothesize the probability of a ball going into a certain pocket when playing pool....

In this online math worksheet, students practice finding the area of 10 parallelograms given the length and width. When complete, students submit their answers and get instant feedback regarding their accuracy.

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...

Eighth graders solve problems involving percentage increases and decreases. Using given percentages, 8th graders transform a square into a rectangle. They apply the area formulas for squares and rectangles.Students observe the percent...

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 will construct a golden section and a golden rectangle and study their characteristics and connections with the Fibonacci series. They import pictures from the internet and download them into the Sketchpad. Using their "golden"...

Students apply the formulas for the area of parallelograms and triangles. Through guided practice, students discover the correct way to apply the formulas. Working in pairs, they write their own problems featuring the formulas.

A quick definition and the formula for finding the perimeter of a square is provided at the top of this worksheet. After reading the description, 4th graders must find the perimeter of the 3 given squares by adding or multiplying. This...

A quick definition and the formula for finding the are of a rectangle is provided at the top of this worksheet. After reading the description, 4th graders must find the area of the 3 given rectangles by adding or multiplying. This is an...

Pupils explore the concept of trapezoids.  In this trapezoids instructional activity, students identify legs and bases of a trapezoid.  Pupils discuss the similarities and differences between isosceles trapezoids and right...

Students study rectangles. In this math lesson, students use numbers, measurements and geometry to draw rectangles of varying sizes.

Students identify basic shapes (triangle, square, rectangle, circle), create shapes with different body parts, and create shapes at various levels (high, low)

First graders study the attributes of circles, squares, triangles and rectangles. They sort shapes that are the same and those that are different into groups.

Learners examine a variety of real life situations in which they must access information, select an appropriate formula, and calculate an answer. A rectangular piece of grass provides an opportunity for the exploration of this...

Young scholars randomly select dimensions for three geometric shapes (square, right triangle and circle). From the graphs they compare and contrast the graphical results of each shape.

Young scholars investigate the concept of finding the area of a parallelogram. The lesson plan uses a story that is told as an illustration to help straighten the confusion associated with the concept. Students could construct...

Activate your geometer's minds with area calculations, some of which are tricky. First, they solve five word problems dealing only with rectangular shapes. The next five use irregular shapes with side measurements given. Scholars solve...

Fifth graders use estimation to solve word problems. In this fractions lesson, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation. This lesson...

Students create tessellations. In this geometry lesson plan, students use polygons to create different patterns by rotation. They identify the reasons for polygons to create the type of tessellation it does.

Sixth graders discover transformations. For this graphing lesson, 6th graders explore visual examples of plotting transformations as they review translations, rotations, and reflections. Students also practice solving problems that their...

Students create and color a one-patch quilt design based upon a regular hexagon. They examine quilts and photos of quilt designs, read a handout, and complete their quilt design on a worksheet.

In 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...

In this graphing worksheet, students predict how a graph of given functions will work. Next, they check their work using a graphing calculator. Students use algebra to complete the graph of a square and determine transformations.

In this math worksheet, students study the geometric shape of the rectangle by tracing 10 shapes and coloring them different colors.
