Fifth and sixth graders engage in a series of activities which show them the importance of using different types of measurement strategies. One of the primary goals of the lesson is to show learners that measurement is helpful in many...

Upper graders solve problems involving measurement of squares and rectangles to practice multiplication skills, finding area, and calculating prices and percentages. A performance assessment is included.

Learners divide a poster board so everyone gets the same amount of area to decorate. Youngsters talk about the different ways to divide a rectangle. They measure their lines to make sure that each piece is equal and then decorate their...

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.

In this area and perimeter activity, students read the instructions and study the examples to learn how to find the area and perimeter of a square. Students solve 30 problems. This page is intended as an online activity, but may be...

A teacher guided lesson on perfect squares and factoring. They discuss perfect squares, observe the expansion steps for finding the product, and practice solving problems. They complete a worksheet on perfect squares and factoring.

For this area and perimeter worksheet, learners solve and complete 6 different problems that include a school community yard. First, they use the table to determine the cost for each yard of fence. Then, students determine the perimeter...

Math scholars of many ages examine the concept of population density and then discuss the significance of the population densities of Minnesota and China. They figure the population density of their school.

Upper graders investigate how to find the surface area when using two-dimensional shapes. They conduct an investigation in groups while working sample problems given during class discussion with the teacher. They also review how to...

In this colliding asteroids activity, students are given the equation to determine the collision time for asteroids. Students use this equation to solve 4 problems including finding the area of a cross-section through the body of an...

In this online math worksheet, students must find the missing measurement in a variety of trapezoids. This excellent resource allows the students to check their answers, and to get "hints" should they run into difficulties. A terrific...

In this area puzzle worksheet, learners the area in square units of 3 triangles, then use those areas and line segments to find find the area of a different set of figures. 

Sixth graders explore characteristics of similar objects. Using attribute blocks, they explore the ratios of the perimeter, area and side length in similar shapes. They calculate and compare the area of shapes.

High schoolers identify the properties of a sphere. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the surface area of spheres using the formula derived by nets. They identify the radius and diameter of the sphere.

This is how long we mow the lawn together. The assessment requires the class to work with combining ratios and proportional reasoning. Pupils determine the unit rate of mowers and calculate the time required to mow a lawn if they work...

Students investigate polynomials. In this algebra lesson, students solve problems dealing with multiplication of polynomials by using the distributive property and the FOIL method. Students also describe how the...

Polynomial multiplication and factoring go hand in hand. Why not teach them together. This resource begins with an area model for distributing a monomial and then connects the process to factoring the GCF. Learners then advance to...

A transformational assessment determines how far pupils are advancing toward mastering complex and matrix standards. The assessment checks the learners' understanding of linear transformations, complex numbers and the complex plane,...

Challenge your class with an amazing set of ideas that really put the project back into project-based learning. It all starts with a whole class research task. Each learner will look up and take notes on multiple facets of things that...

In this area learning exercise, students use square models or grid paper, estimate, then find the area of given shapes. Houghton Mifflin text is referenced.

Students develop an equation for finding the volume of a commonly known piece of candy (M&M, Hershey's Kiss, Tootsie Roll Pop, Life Saver, etc.) by using calculus.

In this math worksheet, students find the area of shapes by counting the number of grid paper squares inside each shape. This is a worksheet generator, the teacher controls the complexity of the shapes as well as the grid size. Answers...

There are many different polygons, so give your learners a worksheet that practices area and perimeter on the various shapes. This full-page worksheet includes problems with hexagons, trapezoids, squares, parallelograms, and rectangles....

Students explore the area of rectangles. They practice finding area by playing an onliine computer activity where they calculate the area of a rectangle to solve a problem.
