In this area of a triangle worksheet, students calculate the area of six triangles given the coordinate of the vertices. Grids are provided.

In this area and perimeter worksheet, students find area and perimeter of rectangle and squares given the coordinates of the vertices.  Grids are provided for these six problems.

In this subtraction worksheet, learners use a grid to complete a set of 10 problems written in sentence form. A reference website for additional resources is given.

Young scholars create factor trees.  In this prime and composite instructional activity, students model fractions using tiles.  They create factor trees and identify prime and composite numbers.  Young scholars use grid...

Young scholars 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...

In this graphing worksheet, students are given a blank graph to fill in with their own information. Four columns are included, each consisting of six boxes.

Learners create a template for a quality graph. They graph from scratch to match these criteria. They evaluate, in writing, the data represented in their newly created graph.

Clearly written as an assignment for a higher-level education class, this formal lesson plan contains some fun and well-researched strategies for teaching the novel Tuck Everlasting  by Natalie Babbitt. Among the best ideas...

Focusing on Doppo's "Unforgettable People" and late nineteenth century Japanese literature, this resource also leads to discussions of form being dictated by content. Explore the development of new literary styles first-hand by...

Here's a perfect way to introduce perfect squares. Individuals color in the diagonals of squares and record observations about patterns. They connect their diagrams to exponents of two and perfect squares.

Young graphers decide where to plot a point given a specific ordered pair. The problems vary in difficulty, beginning with simpler coordinates, and ending with plotting and connecting coordinates. Each graph is labeled with the...

Investigate the meaning of the Pythagorean Theorem through modeling. After comparing the area of the square of each side, individuals cut triangles and squares to facilitate the comparison.

A geometry game that resembles Battleship is the foundation for hide and seek where "hiders" draw shapes on coordinate planes and "seekers" must guess the shape and its location based on questions and clues. Reproducible, paper-sized...

Are you working on graphing ordered pairs in your class? In this activity, learners, after looking over and studying how to graph ordered pairs, plot points on a coordinate grid and connect the dots. Class members also identify what they...

With minimal setup and maximum freedom, young geometers are encouraged to think outside the box on a seemingly simple application problem. Though the task seems simple, measuring a given paper clip and finding how many 10 meters can...

Investigate perimeter and area of polygons! In this measurement lesson plan, learners use index cards to create rectangles and trace their hand to estimate its area and perimeter.

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...

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.

Young scholars graph families of equivalent fractions and compare them by observing the slope of the line formed by each fraction family. They place fractions in ascending order by comparing the slopes of each line after several families...

Turn young mathematicians into landscape architects with this four-lesson series on area and perimeter. Beginning with a basic introduction to calculating perimeter and area using non-standard units of measurement, this...

Discover how to solve systems of inequalities by graphing. An informative video shows pupils how to determine the solution set after graphing each inequality of a system. To finish, a worksheet gives them a chance to practice this skill.

Make enlargements with and without centers. Pupils work through seven problems dealing with dilations or enlargements. The first couple items are strict enlargements without centers, while the others have centers. Class members also...

Cut-and-paste a great activity into your lesson plans. Scholars analyze real-world problems involving proportions. To change things up a bit they cut-and-paste quantities to create a proportion on their way to solving the problems.
