Exploring Area/Perimeter Through Coordinate Geometry

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

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...

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,...

Young geometers identify the location of each icon by naming the ordered pair through a set of 10 winter-themed worksheets. 

What a fantastic resource! The class practices finding the area and perimeter of various regular and irregular shape by first counting the grid squares inside each shape, and then by using the traditional formula. The process is fully...

Have your learners practice finding the perimeter and area of geometric shapes using this resource. While just a simple review, this could be a wonderful way to solidify the concepts in their minds.

Do you know what A=1/2 bh means? If you don't this video on the area of a triangle is a must. It defines the formula needed to determine the area of a triangle, works through an example problem, and clearly explains the procedure.

Define and identify the three basic forms of symmetry translation, rotation, and glides with your class. They cut out and arrange paper pattern blocks to illustrate symmetry, create a Cartesian graph, and design a rug with a symmetrical...

Perimeter, area. Area, perimeter. Which is which? Perimeter is the distance around the edge of the shape. So all you have to do is add up the values.
