Changing Twines: Exploring Area and Perimeter

Young mathematicians build an understanding of area and perimeter with their own two hands in a series of interactive geometry lessons. Through the use of different math manipulatives, children investigate the properties of rectangles,...

Cover some serious ground with this 22-lesson geometry unit on area and perimeter. Through a series of shared readings, hands-on activities, and problem solving exercises young mathematicians learn the difference between area and...

Turn young mathematicians into landscape architects with this four-lesson series on area and perimeter. Beginning with a basic introduction to calculating perimeter and area using non-standard units of measurement, this instructional...

Change up the classroom atmosphere with this interdisciplinary resource. Following along with the children's book Mr. Slaptail's Curious Contraption, these math worksheets provide practice with a wide range of topics including simple...

Break out those math manipulatives, it's time to teach about area! Capturing the engagement of young mathematicians, this three-lesson series supports children with learning how to measure the area of squares, rectangles, and other...

Learners of all ages investigate area and perimeter through pentominoes. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the are and perimeter of different geometric shapes and describe the properties of similar and congruent shapes. This...

Third graders engage in an enrichment lesson 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. They then create a...

A real-world problem is posed at the beginning of the fourth of six lessons on applying formulas for area and perimeter. A review of the definition of squares and rectangles begins the discussion, followed by an example of solving a...

An excellent lesson plan on calculating the perimeter of a polygon, using real world tasks, awaits your students. They watch and discuss a PowerPoint presentation, identify objects in the classroom or on the school grounds that might...

Area and perimeter are all around us! Learners engage in a series of activities to learn how they can determine both. They watch the teacher show how to find perimeter and area and then use and Excel worksheet and pieces of candy to...
