Third graders engage in an enrichment instructional activity exploring the concepts of area and perimeter. They construct new pentominoes that are 3 times the size of normal ones and then identify the area and perimeter measurements....

Geometers calculate the area of plane surfaces using the formulas for the area of a square, rectangle, and triangle. They develop the formula for calculating the total surface area of two geometric solids: the cube and rectangular prism.

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

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

Students pace a Gunther Chain, a measurement used by foresters to determine distance and area. They discuss that pacing is individualized depending on age, gender, etc. They practice to find an average pace. Teams estimate, pace and...

Sixth graders use different measuring tools to measure area, perimeter, and circumference of different shapes. In this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders measure parallelograms, triangles, and circles.

Students solve problems involving area. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the area of an object and relate it to the area of the ocean. They define what exactly and area is and then solve problems relating to the real world.

Seventh graders calculate the area of certain cages at the Miami Metrozoo after observing a teacher demonstration.

Sixth graders solve for the area and perimeter. In this geometry lesson, 6th graders investigate polygons and use a formula to find the area and perimeter. They find the area and perimeter of various polygons.
