Beginning geometers use tiles and grid paper to draw and calculate perimeter and area. Rectangles of different sizes are created and then measured to build understanding. The one-inch grid sheet referenced is attached. 

Paste this resource into your lesson plans like you'd paste a tile onto a mural. Given a diagram of a tile mural with rectilinear figures, future artists determine the perimeters and areas of the figures. They must then develop their own...

Get creative juices flowing when you allow groups to figure out a procedure for how to find the area of squares and rectangles. They may use the individual patchwork blocks, or they may design one using the Design Template.

Students solve the area for parallelograms,squares, rectangles, trapezoids, and triangles. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast two dimensional shapes and apply their properties to solving real life scenarios. This is a...

Third graders use pattern blocks of one shape at a time to try to create a similar shape. They compare the perimeter of the new figure with the perimeter of the original shape and look for a pattern. Students use the pattern to predict...

Make the connections between area, tiling, and multiplication. A performance task and associated unit presents the concept of area and makes the connection to multiplication. Pupils work through three major sections of instruction that...

Next time you need to repave your patio, have your scholars do all the math. They first calculate and answer questions using the area of patio blocks. Next, they determine the cheapest block to use to pave the patio.

Make it complete. Pupils work through 16 problems to review factoring. The problems consist of straight factoring of polynomial expressions, solving equations by factoring, and applying factoring to real-world problems.

Seventh graders find the perimeter and area of triangles.  In this finding the perimeter and area of triangles lesson plan, 7th graders find the perimeter and area of triangles given two sides.  Students find the missing side...

Students create a mini city using proportions that fit a model human they construct using tin foil. They plan the city including a library, sports arena, living spaces, parks and businesses. When constructing the paper buildings, they...

In this finding area learning exercise, learners solve the area of an irregular figure by reading and performing step by step operations. Students complete fourteen steps to solve and summarize finding the area.

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students follow detailed instructions about measurements, drawing rectangles on a dotted grid, then find the perimeter and area of each rectangle. 

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students find the length or area of seventeen figures.  The figures examined are triangles, trapezoids, parallelograms, rectangles, and hexagons.  Some examples and solutions are...

In this math worksheet, students calculate the area of 6 rectangles. Students are not asked to find the perimeter despite the title of the page. There is no instruction.

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. In this geometry lesson plan, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of...
