Have your aspiring contractors compute the length of two walls in a compound-shaped attic when given a scale drawing of it and the other dimensions. They find the area, determine the number of rolls of insulation they will need to...

Give your future household repair specialists a real-life chance to apply the concepts of ratio and proportion. Using a scale drawing, they calculate the missing dimensions of two walls of a compound-shaped attic. They then figure how...

There is only one area calculation problem here, and the explanation is detailed below; consider projecting this as an all-class warm up. Scholars assess a rectangle with given length and width, calculating its area. Next, they break it...

Each of these five rectangles has been split into even sections and scholars must figure the area based on the segmented shapes. There are five possible answers for them to match, however none have units attached. Keep in mind this is...

Learners are introduced to the concepts of the normal curve, skewness and the standard deviation. They discuss how the normal distribution has been used and misused to support conclusions.

In this finding the area in fractions learning exercise, students read information about area and the formula, view examples, and write multiplication sentences that match pictures. Students solve three problems.

Learners classify quadrilaterals. In this quadrilateral lesson, students identify the characteristics of quadrilaterals. They write their findings in a journal. Learners use geoboards to create quadrilaterals from given descriptions.

Students explore the concept of finding area of similar figures. For this finding area of similar figures lesson, students use pattern blocks to construct similar figures. Students trace their construction and find the area. Students...

Students calculate the area of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students find the area for trapezoids, rhombuses and kites.

Students practice using the formula to calculate the area of a square or triangle. They participate in large group guided practice using simple area of squares problems then complete a series of problems calculating the area of rectangles.

Students form rectangles by using tiles, measure area and perimeter by counting. They discover and apply rules for measuring perimeter.
