Squares and Cubes

That shape is so weird, there's no way to find its area! Show your classes that they can use grids and known formulas to find the perimeters and areas of irregular figures. Pairs develop methods to break irregular figures into figures...

Use several shapes to practice finding the perimeter and area. Each page presents examples of different items, including money, the floor plan of a room, and a parking lot.

Take young mathematicians on an exploration of the world of 3-D geometry with this seven-lesson unit. After first defining the terms perimeter, area, and volume and how they apply to the real world, students continue on to learn the...

Determine the cost of projects based on volume or surface area. Pupils work problems to determine the cost of building a brick planter and a stainless steel feeder in the 27th installment of a 28-part series. Participants must take into...

Leave no student behind with this differentiated geometry unit on perimeter and area. Over the course of five lessons, young mathematicians explore these foundational concepts through a series of self-selected hands-on activities and...

In this volume and surface area worksheet, students find the volume and surface area of different solid figures. Students complete 8 problems.

In this perimeter and area worksheet, students review the steps to find perimeter and area. Students then use grid paper to draw the figures described in 6 questions. Students note the perimeter and area of shapes as well.

Around and in—take a different look at rectangles. A portion of a basic geometry playlist discusses the area and perimeters of rectangles. Using the formulas, the presentation works perimeter and area examples with rectangles and squares.

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math lesson, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

Students explore volume and surface area. In this math lesson plan, students fill boxes with cubes to identify the volume of the boxes. Students discuss area.
