An excellent activity that effectively pulls together the concepts of area, fractions, and equivalent fractions! Using 3x2 rectangular arrays, 3rd graders are introduced to the concept of area in terms of square units. Building on this...

All that matters is the tiles. Pupils use the interactive to investigate the relationship between area and perimeter using tiles. The interactive has an explore and a game mode to accommodate different steps in learning. The game mode...

With the help of the Area Officers and Perimeter Patrol, you learners will develop a better understanding of area and its relationship to perimeter. First, they view a video clip from Cyberchase, and then they visit a website to...

Explore the relationship between perimeter and area. Learners input the area and perimeter for shapes on the Shape Explorer website, solve problems using geoboards, complete a worksheet, create a PowerPoint presentation, and take an...

This resource provides a practice geometry quiz for students to use.

The interactive applet allows learners to explore the relationships between side length, area, and perimeter. Students see how changes in the scale factor influence the ratio of areas and perimeters. [Requires Java.]

[Free Registration/Login may be required to access all resource tools.] Students watch a video and attempt practice problems on how to determine missing angles within rectangles and squares.

This lesson is a real world task that combines many skills the students have learned throughout the school year.

Fractions can be used to understand halves of a unit square.

Breaking figures into smaller squares and rectangles allows me to multiply to find the area

In this lesson plan on area and perimeter, 3rd graders will learn how to find the area and perimeter of rectangles by applying formulas.
