Learners identify the difference between area and perimeter. In this geometry lesson, student discover the difference between area and perimeter by measuring plane figures. Students work in small groups that are differentiated by ability...

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,...

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...

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

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...

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...

In this geometry practice worksheet, students find the perimeter and area of 5 rectangles and list the answers in a chart on the page. They use grid paper to draw a square and a rectangle with the given unit measures. They complete 2...

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...

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...

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...
