In this exploring area activity, students sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve 6 story problems using the provided diagrams.

Seventh graders review the concept of finding the areas of a rectangle. This lesson uses the classroom as a real life application for the formula of area. They measure classroom in order to compute the area.

Fifth graders identify the area and perimeter of a rectangle. In this perimeter lesson plan, 5th graders use geoboards and rubber bands to construct various rectangles. Students use the formula to calculate area and perimeter of the...

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.

Learners explore the concept of area. In this area lesson plan, students find the area of irregular shapes with right angles. Learners break down each irregular shape into multiple regular shapes in order to find the area. Students...

Four triangles are depicted for learners to construct on a geoboard. They compute and compare the areas, and so meet one of the sixth grade Common Core standards for geometry. Note that the set of triangles does not include a right...

Students find the area and perimeter of rectangular figures. They use this information to find patterns and discover relationships between area and perimeter. Students apply and explain formulas relating to perimeter, area, and volume.

Does it? Kids find the perimeter and area of different shapes to assess whether their rectangle has guts. In addition to finding the area of a rectangle, learners work to find the area of a trapezoid. All worksheets are included. 

Intended for use as an exit ticket, this activity can be used as an extension to a lesson, test, or even homework. Learners complete three tasks that involve finding the area of a figure in square units. Young mathematicians can be...

This is how long we mow the lawn together. The assessment requires the class to work with combining ratios and proportional reasoning. Pupils determine the unit rate of mowers and calculate the time required to mow a lawn if they work...

Build a basic understanding of units of measure and create a great foundation for your learners. The lesson gives a complete overview of everything measurement, from types of measurement to rounding to conversions — it has it all! 

Make the connections between area, tiling, and multiplication. A performance task and associated unit presents the concept of area and makes the connection to multiplication. Pupils work through three major sections of instruction that...

Start a trend by using blirts and gorks as your standard unit of measures. The activity asks learners to take a known measures of blirts and gorks and develop a conversion ratio. Individuals use both perimeter and area measures of...

Explore Apple's spaceship office building. Built in the shape of a circle, the office building offers a unique floor plan challenge. Young scholars use the dimensions of the building to estimate the square footage for each employee. 

There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

Parallelograms are pairs of triangles all the way around. Pupils measure to determine the area and perimeter of a parallelogram. They then find the area of the tirangles formed by drawing a diagonal of the parallelogram and compare their...

Scholars crave practical application. Let them use the different models of a quadratic function to plan the size and shape of a school playground. They convert between the different forms and maximize area.

Factor in different strategies in a lesson for factoring quadratics. Young mathematicians first create tables and area models to factor quadratic trinomials into two binomials by guess and check. Learners then investigate how they can...

How did the beginnings of genetic research influence the Nazi party? A thorough, engaging unit incorporates the work of Gregor Mendel, the study of inherited traits, and the use of racism and discrimination during the Holocaust.
