Changing Twines: Exploring Area and Perimeter

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...

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

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

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...

Students explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Young scholars explore perimeter. In this geometry and measurement lesson, students create squares and rectangles using given perimeters. Young scholars construct four sided shapes with given perimeters using the computer program "Math...

Explains how to find the perimeter and area of a non-standard, or irregular polygon. [3:03] CCSS.Math.Content.3.MD.C.7.d Recognize area as additive.

Your geometers are used to finding the perimeter of a square or rectangle, so give them something different this time! With this lesson plan, small groups will receive a picture of a shoreline and calculate the perimeter. The website...

Third graders build models wherein the area remains the same, while changing perimeters.

Students study about perimeter and the units used to measure perimeter using a variety of materials including their hands, feet, rulers, and computer applets. They understand such attributes as length, area, weight, volume, and size of...
