Area and Perimeter of a Rectangle

Young mathematicians find the area and perimeter of shaded shapes on a grid of unit squares. The sheets challenge class members to find the volume of various solid prisms. Each questions also includes the total value of suggest...

Have your learners practice finding the perimeter and area of geometric shapes using this resource. While just a simple review, this could be a wonderful way to solidify the concepts in their minds.

Sliding over a corner makes a rectangle. The resource demonstrates why the formula of the area of a parallelogram works. As part of a larger playlist on basic geometry, the video works examples dealing with parallelogram areas.

Students practice measuring with formulas. In this measurement lesson, students complete an activity that requires them to calculate perimeter, area, and volume.

The teacher illustrates a diagram to help you learn about perimeter. First, she adds the sides together to get the perimeter. Then, she shows how to use the perimeter formula to make it a bit simpler.

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...

Students compute area.  In this perimeter, area and volume instructional activity, students examine given objects and determine the perimeter, area, and volume of each. 

Students explore the realms of measurement. In this math lesson plan, students analyze and solve problems in which rectangles with identical perimeters are compared to maximize or minimize area. This activity can be extended for algebra,...

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] In this learning module, students are asked to partition a shape into rectangles and add their areas together to get the area of the whole figure. Includes video...
