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 learning exercise. After reading the description, 4th graders must find the perimeter of the 3 given squares by adding or...

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.

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.

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

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 instructional activity, 5th graders decide whether or not an answer to a work problem is reasonable by applying their knowledge of fractions, decimals and estimation....

Students identify points on the coordinate plane using ordered pairs and also plot the ordered pairs on the coordinate plane. They also use properties of shapes to identify polygons such as triangles and quadrilaterals (square,...

Students draw on graph paper. In this geometry lesson, students review types of triangles and quadrilaterals. Students investigate geometric transformations, including translation, rotation and reflection. Students practice each...

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.

In this math worksheet, students count the number of rectangles and triangles they see in two drawings. Each figure has overlapping shapes.

In this cube counting instructional activity, students solve 5 word problems that refer to the illustration of a stack of cubes. First, they determine how many cubes would be needed to make four steps, then seven and eight steps....

In this patterns activity, students solve 5 different problems that include matching different patterns to each other. First, they color each figure on the sheet. Then, students cut out the extra copies of the vehicles from the bottom...

In this snowflakes fun worksheet, learners identify and read about 5 different snowflakes illustrated on the sheet. First, they cut out each of the snowflakes on the rectangles where indicated to make finger puppets. Then, students use...

For 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.

In this geometry learning exercise, 4th graders calculate the area of 3 rectangles using the l x w x h formula. They work with the measures of centimeter, feet, and meters.

For this measurement worksheet, students study the pictures of rectangles and then give the area of each rectangle in centimeters.

In this measurement worksheet, 1st graders study the different rectangles and then find the perimeter of each rectangle to the nearest inch.

In this measurement worksheet, students study the different rectangles and then find the perimeter for each rectangle pictured on the worksheet.

In this rectangle worksheet, students study the two pictures of rectangles and memorize the rectangle song. Students then practice making some rectangles.
