Engage young mathematicians in applying their knowledge of area and perimeter with a fun geometry lesson. Through a series of problem solving exercises, children use their math knowledge to design different-sized garden...

How many sides does that polygon have? Building directly from lesson number eight in this series, learners now find the area and perimeter of any polygon on the coordinate plane. They decompose the polygons into triangles and use Green's...

The original drawing is eight units — how big is the scale drawing? Classmates determine the scale percent between a scale drawing and an object to calculate the length of a portion of the object. They use the percent equation to find...

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...

Students explore perimeter. In this geometry and measurement lesson plan, students create squares and rectangles using given perimeters. Students construct four sided shapes with given perimeters using the computer program "Math Keys:...

Here is a lesson containing a great activity based on coordinates, and the perimeters of shapes created using a given set of coordinates. After youngsters creat a shape on a grid based on some coordinate pairs, they must identify which...

Sixth graders design rectangular gardens with a given perimeter and generalize how to maximize the area Students applying the formulas for perimeter and area of polygons. They analyze length, area, and volume and make relationships...

Investigate the area and perimeter of polygons in this geometry lesson. Young geometers use grid paper to draw a quadrilateral and calculate its area and perimeter. They also read The Greedy Triangle to identify the changing shape of...

Basically, your class reads about different garden plants from an included handout and seed packets that you provide, and then uses a grid to plan out where to place the plants. They can practice counting with the seeds, grouping,...

Upper graders identify the surface area and attributes of figures that are measurable. They estimate, measure, and record perimeter, area, temperature change, and elapsed time, using a variety of strategies. They also determine the...

Design your dream classroom. The lesson plan contains an exercise to have teams create a scale drawing of their dream classroom. Pairs take the measurements of their classroom and furniture and create a scale factor for them. To finish...

Learners explore perimeter and area of regular and irregular polygons. They experiment with color squares and create different arrangements using the same number squares. Then they compare the area and perimeter measurements of each.

Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter, and area. In this math lesson, students use Shape Explorer to practice finding length, perimeter, and area.

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...

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

Learners calculate the perimeter of rectangles and squares. They imagine trying to build a fence around a yard or trying to determine how much paint they need to paint a room. They also develop formulas and procedures for determining the...

Learners participate in a project to map their school. They measure and graph various areas around the school. Learners find the longitude and latitude of the school and research the school's history, and highlight special important areas.

Sixth graders calculate perimeter of rectangles with different dimensions.  In this perimeter activity, 6th graders define length, width and perimeter.  Students complete a perimeter activity using a web tool to change the...

Students solve problems by finding the perimeter and area of an enclosed area. In this geometry lesson plan, students differentiate between the area and the perimeter. They see how they relate and how to use it to maximize an enclosed area.

Students examine the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid. Students develop a better understanding of the concept of perimeter. Students calculate the perimeter of shapes.

Sixth graders use different measuring tools to measure area, perimeter, and circumference of different shapes. In this measurement lesson plan, 6th graders measure parallelograms, triangles, and circles.

Fifth graders demonstrate the concept of perimeter and area using manipulative. In this area and perimeter lesson, 5th graders explore area and perimeter through the exploration style of teaching using eatable and non-eatable...

Beginning geometers use tiles and grid paper to draw and calculate perimeter and area. Rectangles of different sizes are created and then measured to build understanding. The one-inch grid sheet referenced is attached. 

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