Rectangle Teacher Resources

Seventh graders complete activities to further their understanding of area formulas. In this area lesson, 7th graders watch as the teacher uses Polystrips to model parallelograms. Students find the area of a rectangle and answer...

In this geometry worksheet, students match shapes that look alike or are the same. Students are given five sets of two shapes each where they are to draw a line from one shape to the corresponding shape that matches it.

Students compute surface area and volume of prisms. In this surface area lesson, students find the surface area and volume of rectangular and triangular prisms. Independently, students use their computers to determine the volume,...

Second graders Make, name and describe, using their own language and the language of geometry, everyday shapes and objects. They create and talk about geometric patterns which repeat (show translation), or which have rotational or...

Students examine a selection of shapes and identify which shapes tessellate and why. They design and make a pattern which involves translation, reflection, or rotation. Students describe the features of 2-dimensional and 3-dimensional...

In this area and perimeter practice worksheet, students examine 4 sample problems and solve 20 problems that require them to calculate perimeter and area.

In this geometry activity, students determine if a figure is a quadrilateral. If so, students continue to answer questions to determine whether it is a square, diamond, rhombus, rectangle, parallelogram or trapezoid.

In this surface area worksheet, students find the surface are of cubes and rectangular prisms.  This one-page worksheet contains 3 problems.

Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson plan, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no...

Young scholars compare, classify and calculate the area of geometric figures such as rectangles, squares, circles and triangles.

Learners use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. In this geometry lesson, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets are included...

Fifth graders explore the concept of area using the geometry of selected objects. The laboratory for this experience is the classroom. The lesson focuses upon the objects that have four sides like squares and rectangles.

Sixth graders inspect prime and composite numbers. Using graph paper, they draw as many different shaped rectangles as possible. They use the dimensions of the rectangles to discuss prime and composite numbers. Students create a chart...

Student measure the length of the sides of rectangles and squares using inches, feet and yards. They determine perimeters of rectangles and squares. They then determine areas of rectangles and squares. Student compare measurement of...

Fourth graders construct squares and rectanges in order to help them find areas and perimeters. They gain an understanding of area and perimeter through teacher modeling and then they construct squares and rectangles.

Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. In this fractal pattern lesson, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern when dividing...

Students demonstrate geometric relationships of finding area of rectangles and squares. They apply determine the quantity of paint needed to cover the area by using the concept of quantity.

In this geometry worksheet, students practice finding the area of 11 polygons using diagrams which include units in both standard and metric measurement. They solve for the area of 11 polygons using words that describe the polygons that...

Seventh graders explore the concept of volume and surface area of cylinders. In this volume and surface area of cylinders lesson, 7th graders break cylinders into their base shapes of a circle and a rectangle. Students discover that...

Seventh graders investigate the area and volume of 2D and 3D figures. In this geometry lesson, 7th graders create a storyboard explaining their knowledge of 2D and 3D shapes. They analyze their data and interpret their...

In this triangle worksheet, students find the area of a set of 4 triangles, writing their answer in a rectangle found beneath each. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this area worksheet, students calculate the area of 4 triangles, writing answers in rectangles beneath each triangle. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this area of triangles activity, students calculate the area of 4 given triangles, writing the answers in rectangles beneath each. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

The key to understanding is making connections. Scholars explore angle dilations using properties of parallel lines. At completion, pupils prove that angles of a dilation preserve their original measure.
