Twelfth graders identify and find the area between two curves. In this calculus lesson plan, 12th graders decide what the best way is to find the shaded area between two curves using examples from previous lessons. They relate areas...

In this derivatives worksheet, students sketch the graph of a function by determining the local maxima, minima and inflection points. They graph a second function when given the interval. Students solve two word problems involving...

Pupils measure the area using feet and yard. In this algebra lesson, students draw and manipulate shapes to calculate the area. They measure the relationship of area between the two units.

Students search for specific color food items. In this color review lesson, students search for hidden food items of a specific color inside the classroom.

In this geometry worksheet, students are given a rectangle and a square. They verify ratios when given equal perimeters or areas. Students are given adjacent squares. They find the distance between the centers, and identify the means...

Help young mathematicians build a solid understanding of division with this base ten block activity. With the help of these popular math manipulatives, children model different math problems in order to reinforce the...

Help math learners discover how to multiply fractions and mixed numbers. They will explore visual examples of the operations. They also practice solving problems that their instructor models.

Pupils, using a map, drawing or aerial view of a pond, represent the shape of the pond using simple geometric shapes or fractions of those shapes. They identify the numerator and denominator in each fraction created.

In this area and perimeter worksheet, learners complete a set of 6 problems, finding area of rectangles and area and perimeter of squares. 

For this cylinder worksheet, students compare three different cylinders to experiment which one has the greatest volume. Students interact with rectangles as they experiment with the cylinders.
