Students follow directions to complete a multi-step process that results in an attractive holiday decoration. In this Christmas art activity instructional activity, students employ simple measuring and weaving techniques and experiment...

Fifth graders explore the concept of area using the geometry of selected objects. The laboratory for this experience is the classroom. The lesson focuses upon the objects that have four sides like squares and rectangles.

Fifth graders identify that the perimeter of a shape is the sum of its sides. Students cut some string or rope to make the sides of a rectangle. Students write the measurement of the length of the rectangle and the measurement of the...

In these rectangle perimeter worksheets, learners complete two worksheets for perimeter. Students answer four questions for each rectangular pen they create for a dog and horse pen.

Pupils participate in a hands-on activity that shows the independence of perimeter and area for simple irregular figures.

Students investigate how to make a good parachute. In this physics lesson, students observe the motion of parachutes as it falls and measure the time. They collect data and calculate the average descent time for each canopy shape.

In this powers worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different word problems that include various expressions with powers. First, they write an expression for volume of a cube that has a certain width, length, and height. Then, students...

In this mental math activity, students calculate area, volume, perimeter, and convert units in two mental math tests of ten problems each. 

Middle schoolers construct a basic cylinder out of a piece of paper, then answer seven questions about their cylinder. Questions have to do with measurement, volume, radius, etc.

Jada has a rectangle board that is measured in inches. Young learners confirm their understanding of converting inches to feet. Then they find the area in square feet. Jada thinks she has a short-cut to convert inches square to square...

Students, using a map, drawing or aerial view of a pond, represent the shape of the pond using simple geometric shapes or fractions of those shapes. They identify the numerator and denominator in each fraction created.

Middle schoolers build a working definition of a regular fractal, they measure the concepts of dimensions and scale, they explore the concept of a logarithm and they attempt to solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by...

Pupils build a working definition of regular fractal, look carefully at the concepts of dimension and scale, and are introduced to logarithms. They solve simple exponential equations for the exponent both by trial and error and using logs.

Seventh graders solve word problems involving real world situation. In this geometry instructional activity, 7th graders solve problems related to volume. They apply the formulas taught in geometry.

Young scholars use non-standard measurement tools such as body parts, beans and counters to find the area of shapes drawn on the floor. They continue to determine the area of other objects in the classroom.

Students decide what body measurements they need to make garments such as a pair of pants. They make a list, and work with a partner to take and record those measurements in centimeters. They discuss the use of centimeters.

In this geometry worksheet, students solve word problems having to do with lines, angles, shapes, area, perimeter, and more. Students complete 57 problems total.

In this significant figures activity, students read about how to determine significant figures in calculations and measurements. They practice identifying significant figures in five problems.

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...

Students create squares of different sizes on a geoboard. They find and describe a pattern. Students use the pattern to determine the number of squares possible on a 10-by-10 geoboard. They create squares with a horizontal base (and...

In this real numbers worksheet, students perform the given operation with decimals, whole numbers, and fractions. They find the area and perimeter of circles. Students determine the volume of cylinders. This three-page worksheet contains...

In this algebra worksheet, students manipulate integers to add, subtract, multiply and divide using order of operation. They rewrite word problems and solve for the unknown. There are 24 questions with an answer key.

In this similarity worksheet, 9th graders solve and complete 6 different types of problems. First, they complete the statement in the box shown. Then, students determine whether they agree or disagree with the statement and given...

Sixth graders use newspapers to investigate fractions. They work in small groups to categorize articles, measure them with the grid transparency, and calculate the values represented. Afterward, they write a reflective essay on the role...
