Students practice calculating the perimeter of different sized rectangles. Individually, they identify the derivations of a function that can show the perimeter and determine how to minimize the perimeter within a fixed area. They use...

Students visit www.explorelearning.com/ Website to solve problems in area and perimeter. Next, they locate the vertex of a quadratic equation. In groups, students construct application problems and exchange them with other groups to...

Eighth graders discover how the change in the dimensions of a shape cause a change in the overall area of the shape, but the perimeter stay the same. They, in groups, go out to the playground and construct large areas using stakes and rope.

Students analyze the measurements of rectangles. In this analysis lesson, students will investigate patterns by looking at ratios. Students will also hypothesize the probability of a ball going into a certain pocket when playing pool....

Students use Geometers SketchPad to find the area and perimeter of several shapes. In this geometry instructional activity, students determine area of rectangles and progress through irregular polygons. None of the referenced worksheets...

In this geometry activity, students identify the altitude, perpendicular bisector, median, angle bisector and the area of different polygons. There are 33 problems.

Young scholars demonstrate and understanding of the three types of angles using triangles and quadrilaterals. In this angles lesson plan, students learn about acute, obtuse and right angles. They use cut-outs to find the areas of...

Students explore a variety of geometric shapes, name them, and list their characteristics. The shapes are transposed into structures and checked for accuracy.

Students design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.

In this math worksheet, students work play a game that uses area and perimeter as the main concept. Then students complete the question for area and perimeter.

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

In this algebra worksheet, mathematicians identify important vocabulary related to solving equations. They create and simplify expressions and solve word problems. There are a total of 10 questions that provide a good review of the first...

In this math worksheet, students solve four problems written in sigma notation. They use Riemann sums to find the areas in four problems involving rectangles. Students work in groups to compute the Riemann sum approximations for rectangles.

In this area and volume worksheet, 10th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they find the numbers if the product of one of the numbers with the square of the other number is to be as large as possible. Then,...

Fourth graders use pattern blocks to complete patterns, puzzle, and area centers. In this pattern blocks lesson plan, 4th graders also demonstrate fractions and use the SMART Board with their pattern blocks.
