Third graders engage in an enrichment lesson exploring the concepts of area and perimeter. They construct new pentominoes that are 3 times the size of normal ones and then identify the area and perimeter measurements. They then create a...

Here is an area of parallelograms practice worksheet in which learners sharpen their problem solving skills as they solve six story problems.

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter and area. Students develop an understanding of length, perimeter, and area. Students calculate the area and perimeter of random shapes and calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle...

How do you find the area of an irregular shape? Class members calculate the area of an irregular shape by finding the area of a random sampling of the shape. Individuals then utilize a confidence interval to improve accuracy and use a...

What's around the block? Or down the street? Ask your pupils to tap into their map skills by drafting the area around their home and school.

Teach budding mathematicians how to square a triangle with an interactive that shows a graphical proof of the Pythagorean Theorem. Pupils alter the lengths of the legs using sliders. Using the inputted lengths, the applet displays the...

Working with a map that does not have a coordinate system on it, small, collaborative teams must come up with a coordinate system for their map. Groups then explain their coordinate structure to the class.

For this area worksheet, learners calculate area of shapes using shaded grids, writing answers in cube units. A reference web site is given for additional activities.

In this perimeter and area instructional activity, students review the steps to find perimeter and area. Students then use grid paper to draw the figures described in 6 questions. Students note the perimeter and area of shapes as well.

Students are introduced to map and globe skills. They use grids and are able to construct their own simple maps of familiar places. Students are able to define a map, globe, and symbol and use the direction words north, south, east,...

In this expansions learning exercise, students use area to solve expansions of brackets problems. There are 4 of this type, each problem having less guidance than the previous. The second activity asks students to solve magic square...

Fourth graders create enlarged replica of a stegosaurus drawing, using a grid to practice coordinates.

Develop a better understanding of the value of pi. Learners explore the area of a circle using estimation and graph paper. While continuing to estimate the area of the circle using smaller and smaller grids, the number pi emerges. 

Fifth graders find the area of rice farms. In this area instructional activity, 5th graders draw shapes and grid them to find the area. They compare different rice fields to see which one takes up more space and has the larger area. 

Learners use grid boxes as a measurement tool and discover how grids are used for mapmaking and scaling down an area. They begin by attempting to draw a model shape drawn by the teacher by using the gridding process. At the conclusion of...

In this measurement lesson, learners examine the Pythagorean Theorem, perimeter, and areas of right triangles. They record their measurements and research their findings on a grid.

Where do the coordinates lead? As children brainstorm ways to find the location of different buildings, they learn about coordinate points and how to use them to locate areas on a grid or map. They practice using ordered pairs by playing...
