Elementary schoolers determine the attributes of prime and composite numbers. Pupils, working in pairs, participate in an activity in which they use manipulatives to show the rectangles that can be made from square tiles. They practice...

In this Formulae activity, 10th graders identify and solve 9 different problems that include using particular formulas as given in each set of instructions. First, they determine the perimeter of a rectangle using the formula given....

In this geometry instructional activity, learners complete a homework assignment in which they draw rectangles that have the same area but different perimeters and vise versa. They draw a rectangle with a given area and perimeter.

Seventh graders explore area and perimeter, using tangram pieces. They discover the area and perimeter of rectangles and squares. After experimentation, 7th graders write a rule for finding the perimeter and area of squares and rectangles.

Explore the concept of this perfect square trinomial and difference of squares lesson. A hands-on activity that uses paper rectangles and squares to illustrate the perfect-square trinomial and difference of squares formulas.

There is only one area calculation problem here, and it is followed by a detailed explanation. Consider projecting this as a teaching tool, covering the answer until learners have shared their own. They are instructed to draw a rectangle...

Approach geometry concepts with youngsters using visual guides like this one to find area. They draw a rectangle, segmenting it into rows and columns. Scholars determine how many square units they see in the partitioned rectangle. They...

Students investigate the concepts of area and perimeter with the use of chocolate bars. They calculate the perimeter and area of different size rectangle chocolate bars and record the statistics. Then students make a visual comparison...

Get started with area calculations using a simple shapes activity which could serve to introduce kids to this formula and the concept of units. They partition rectangles into columns and rows to determine the area based on the resulting...

Learners follow a series of instructions for drawing and coloring different shapes in order to learn the difference between the perimeter and area of a polygon. Then they are asked to find the perimeter and area of a 3x4 rectangular...

Young explorers review the basic shapes (circle, triangle, square, rectangle) and practice putting them together to make new shapes. Given an outline of a pond, they recreate it by combining other shapes.

Students identify basic two-dimensional shapes. They are able to identify the four basic two-dimensional shapes: squares, rectangles, triangles, and circles. Students write/draw in their learning logs a reflection of what they noticed...

Guide your geometers through the process of constructing polygons. They learn how to draw triangles, squares, parallelograms, rectangles, rhombuses, and trapezoids with specified angles using a protractor and a ruler. The lesson plan...

Learners look at an image created out of various shapes. They find and count the number of rectangles, circles, and triangles in the image. Then they add each number for a total number of shapes.

Using familiar shapes, learners practice the math concepts more, less, and equal. They examine five circles, drawing two more in an adjacent box. Note: This one should be explained, as learners may not understand they are to...

In this math worksheet students find the solution u(x,y) of Laplace's equation in a given rectangle with specified boundaries. Students use the chain rule to compute values for a function and relate this answer to Laplace's equation....

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students examine and label a square, a rectangle, a circle, and a triangle. Students also respond to 4 questions that require them to draw the shapes.

Seventh graders practice finding the area and perimeter of polygons. In this polygon area lesson, 7th graders brainstorm shapes and take a walk to locate shapes. Students record properties of shapes and use various shapes to make a...

In this isosceles triangles worksheet, young scholars justify and determine the symmetry of an isosceles triangle. They explore the bisector of rectangles. This three-page worksheet contains two problems. Answers are listed on page three.

Participants who use this resource will apply the Pythagorean Theorem to show whether or not the shaded triangle inscribed in a rectangle is a right triangle. Once all of the sides on the shaded triangle are found, it is important that...

In this perimeter worksheet, students, with a partner, problem solve and calculate the answers to twenty word problems and mathematical calculations involving perimeters.

In this measurement lesson, students follow the instructions to draw a sandbox on a grid. Students also respond to 2 short answer questions regarding the area question.

Students explore a variety of geometric shapes, name them, and list their characteristics. The shapes are transposed into structures and checked for accuracy.

In this area worksheet, pupils compute the area of composite figures. They read scale drawings and divide the composite figure into rectangular sections to find the total area. This one-page worksheet contains four equations.
