Would you measure the height of a living room in centimeters? Scholars examine which units would be most efficient for this project: centimeters or meters. There is only one question here with a detailed explanation below. This would be...

How many paperclips high is a fork? How many blocks long is a bottle? Kindergartners demonstrate their understanding of the measurable attributes of objects by responding to four prompts that ask them to determine the length a fork, a...

First graders demonstrate their ability to compare the lengths of three objects and determine which is the longest or shortest. Pupils match the correct answer to each of the seven story problems.  All lengths are expressed in...

This resource guides young geometers to create new polygons from others of equal area, compare an image to its reflection and find errors, conduct repeated reflections, map translations, and determine center of rotation. No solutions are...

In this length activity, student find lengths and round, and solve addition problems, including word problems. All problems have to do with length.

In this geometry worksheet, students describe the effect of a proportional change on the perimeter or circumference and area of the given circles or quadrilaterals.  The one page worksheet contains ten problems.  Answers are...

What happens to a volume when you scale the dimensions of a rectangular prism? In this problem, a box of clay is increased in each dimension, with the intent to see if learners can generalize the result. The addition of...

In this geometry worksheet, students are given the length, width and height of a prism and asked to find the area of each figure. There are 8 questions with worked out answers.

Learners investigate the volume of cones. In this geometry lesson, students define the formula to find the volume of cones. They define the concept of having to dissect a three dimensional figure and find the volume.

An AP calculus lesson begins with an activity to determine the volume of a solid using a cross-section. Next, learners review the ways to find the area between two curves , as well how to find the volume of a solid created...

Pupils gather measurements of real-world objects that have slopes. They then plot the measurements and find an equation of a line that fits the measurements. Finally, groups investigate the ADA and determine whether different ramps meet...

Students consider the impact of genetics on a person's intelligence and appearance. After reading an article, they examine the controversy over using human growth hormones. They debate the approval of using the hormone to increase the...

For this subscription-based activity, algebra learners model changes in the length and width of a rectangle to determine the maximum area possible for a given perimeter and solve several application problems involving area, included in...

What do math, bungee jumping, and Barbie® have in common? Young adventure seekers use rubber bands as bungee cords to predict a thrilling, but safe, jump for their doll. First, test jumps are conducted with a few rubber bands. Then more...

There's no need to think outside the box for this one! Scholars measure the length, width, and height of various boxes. Results help develop the formulas for the surface area and volume of rectangular prisms.

In this dinosaur themed learning exercise, students work together as a team of paleontologists to draw the dinosaur bones they discovered at a dig site. They must label their drawing on a grid map and then provide data about the length...

In this volume worksheet, 8th graders solve and complete 6 different short answer questions and problems that relate to volume. First, they determine the number of cubes found altogether that has a given length, width and height. Then,...

In this complex figure activity, students find the length, height, perimeter, and surface area of the complex figure. Students complete 4 problems.

Students calculate area, perimeter and length of rectangles. In this geometry lesson, students create different formulas for the problem they are being asked to solve. They use the navigator to move the shape around and make observations.

In this area of polygons worksheet, students find the area of rectangles.  They find the width when given the area.  Students graph rectangles and solve word problems involving rectangles.  This three-page worksheet...

In this geometry worksheet, 10th graders determine the area and perimeters of various quadrilaterals and triangles.  The one page worksheet contains ten problems.  Answers are not provided. 

Young scholars define a plane and a solid shape. In this geometry lesson, students compare and contrast different geometric shapes as they relate to solids. They name the geometric solids based on their sides and edges.

Pairs of pupils get together in order to measure the heights and lengths of their shadows. They use these measurements in order to predict the height of other friends in class. A good activity to practice measuring things that cannot be...
