How Big is a Crowd?
Sixth graders compare the relative sizes of the five Great Lakes and their human populations. They describe some of the problems that arise when many people depend on a limited resoure. Students discuss how the Great Lakes and the...
Curated OER
Mathematics Within: Algebraic Patterns
Students analyze problem solving techniques for equations with variables by playing a game called "Smackdown". They place variable cards on a grid and use the area model to calculate an answer after spinning a game piece to determine the...
Curated OER
Area And Perimeter
Fourth graders investigate the concepts of area and perimeter, and they practice finding the values in various types of situations. They construct different representations of shapes using the area measurements and also explain the...
Curated OER
Area And Perimeter
Fifth graders practice the skills of finding the perimeter and area of different objects. They integrate technology tools by using a computer software program during the class as the second half of an assessment of measuring student...
Curated OER
Measures of Space I: Lengths and Areas
Students discover how to measure in one and two dimensional space and calculate how much space any object of a given dimension occupies. After a discussion about dimensions, students work with Zome System Creator Kits to build one and...
Curated OER
Fashion Day
Eighth graders practice using basic measurements to solve word problems.They also investigate finding the perimeter of different polygons and define the characteristics to classify the shape as a polygon.
Curated OER
Russian Boxes
Sixth graders find the scale factors for length, area and volume. They identify the center point of an enlargement and place similar objects to show a negative enlargement. They report the results of an exploration of scale factors in a...
Curated OER
From a Square to a Rectangle
Eighth graders solve problems involving percentage increases and decreases. Using given percentages, 8th graders transform a square into a rectangle. They apply the area formulas for squares and rectangles.Students observe the percent...
Curated OER
Moving On: Octagoning the Circle
Students explore circles through the use of octagons. They inscribe a circle in a regular octagon and find the area and perimeter of the hexagon with respect to the radius of the circle. Students present their findings to the class.
Curated OER
Karen's Tiles
Students investigate how perimeter changes as area changes to see the relation between area and perimeter for similar shapes. They then students answer the question if the area of the rectangle increase, does its perimeter have to increase?
Curated OER
Polygonal Strings
Sixth graders apply knowledge of how to calculate the area and perimeter of triangles. They determine why it is inappropriate to measure the area of land by its perimeter which is done in certain areas of New Guinea. They complete a...
Curated OER
The Old Chicken Run Problem
Sixth graders apply problem solving strategies to work with a real life situation in which they need to determine the area. They determine the area of chicken runs that are rectangular in shape when give a partial perimeter.
Curated OER
Prints and Outlines
Learners determine the area of two objects by superimposing one on the other. They compare and order the area of different shapes by covering a larger shape with similar smaller ones. They complete these activities as different stations.
Curated OER
How much room?
Students examine the amount of usable space that exists in their classroom using square meters and square centimeters. They apply the information to predict the ideal size of a classroom.
Curated OER
GEOMETRICAL GARDENING
Students examine perimeter and volume in a usable situation and see connections between concepts and "Real-World" situations. They design such a proposal to meet the area requirements, improve the looks of the school entrance and spend...
Curated OER
Make a Garden
Fourth graders determine the area of a given garden plot. They determine the area of smaller portions of the garden. They determine how many gardens they can make of a given area. They complete the activity using computer software.
Curated OER
Area and Perimeter of Geometric Shapes
Fifth graders determine how to calculate the perimeter and area of given geometric shapes. They use specific shapes to create a picture using a software program. They determine the area and perimeter of the shapes used in the picture.
Curated OER
Geometry - Measurement
Learners review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.
