Learners determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  In this pennies lesson plan, learners work in groups to determine the number of pennies needed to fill a room.  They compute the probability of the head of a pin...

In this mental math worksheet, students calculate area, volume, perimeter, and convert units in two mental math tests of ten problems each. 

Students develop an equation for finding the volume of a commonly known piece of candy (M&M, Hershey's Kiss, Tootsie Roll Pop, Life Saver, etc.) by using calculus.

Fifth graders find perimeters, areas, and volumes of everyday objects and state the precision. They work in small groups in order to take measurements, perform calculations, and write a group report about the investigation.

Middle schoolers investigate Pi. In this mathematics lesson, learners discuss the history of Pi and determine how the approximation of Pi was discovered.

Eighth graders discover how the change in the dimensions of a shape cause a change in the overall area of the shape, but the perimeter stay the same. They, in groups, go out to the playground and construct large areas using stakes and rope.

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

Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on lesson very effectively demonstrates the concept of volume.

Students design a collage of pictures for a yearbook that make a shape. They determine the area of the shape and the price of putting the collage in the yearbook.

Students solve volume problems. In this geometry lesson, the class watches a video about clean water (link provided) and individuals compare the volume of different prisms, including an actual drinking glass. Extension activities include...

Watch the damage from a forest fire in this interactive simulation activity that challenges learners to estimate the burn area using different approaches. Learners are given a worksheet to track the different burn patterns and practice...

In this Care Homework worksheet, students solve a variety of multiple digit addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems that include fractions, decimals, and percentages. They demonstrate knowledge of geometric formulas...

Fourth graders, acting as foresters, determine timber volumes as sawtimber or pulpwood for marketing. They find the marketable value of a tree using its diameter and volume.

Fifth graders determine which container made from a single sheet of paper has the greatest volume. They look the solutions made by three different students before working on their own examples.

In this online math activity, students practice finding the perimeter and the volume of a variety of square pyramids. When complete, students submit their answers and get instant feedback regarding their accuracy.

Learners examine a math worksheet and determine how to divide a single triangle into four of equal area. Using geometric principles, they sketch two additional ways to divide into into four equal triangles. To conclude, students...

In this online interactive math skills worksheet, students solve 10 multiple choice math problems regarding geometry skills. Students may submit their answers to be scored.

Middle schoolers practice determining the most appropriate units for a given situation while measuring attributes of objects, systems and processes of measurement. They review the concepts of angles, perimeter, area, surface area and...

Third graders explore tessellations and the spatial concepts used in creating them.  In this tessellations lesson, 3rd graders rotate, reflect and transform shapes to create tessellations.  Students become familiar with the...

Middle schoolers construct a basic cylinder out of a piece of paper, then answer seven questions about their cylinder. Questions have to do with measurement, volume, radius, etc.

Middle schoolers utilize mathematical concepts such as: measurement, ratio and proportion and geometric probability to analyze the components of the U.S. Flag. They collect, organize and interpret data by constructing charts, tables and...
