Students find the perimeter and area of circles, triangles, and rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson, the teacher gives students formulas for each shape and measurement and works through examples on the board. While no creative...

In this math worksheet, students look for the perimeter and area of the regular and irregular shapes. The answers are on page 2.

Eighth graders identify how to find the area and perimeter of rectangles and triangles. They discuss their understanding of area and perimeter and how the two concepts are applied in the real world. Finally, 8th graders determine the...

Students practice calculating the perimeter of different sized rectangles. Individually, they identify the derivations of a function that can show the perimeter and determine how to minimize the perimeter within a fixed area. They use...

Middle schoolers are introduced to the concept of perimeter. As a class, they listen to a lecture describing the derivations of a function that describes perimeter. They calculate the minimum perimeter of a rectangle and determine the...

Tenth graders calculate area and perimeter based on the dimensions of a living room. They use these calculations to respond to questions about supplies needed for painting and carpeting the room. Students use math to solve problems and...

Young scholars compare, resize, and check various shapes by size using a comparison mat from the MathKeys program. Working in pairs, they place three similar shapes on the screen and state which is the largest and smallest in area. They...

Fourth graders investigate the concepts of area and perimeter, and they practice finding the values in various types of situations. They construct different representations of shapes using the area measurements and also explain the...

Fifth graders practice the skills of finding the perimeter and area of different objects. They integrate technology tools by using a computer software program during the class as the second half of an assessment of measuring student...

Eighth graders practice using basic measurements to solve word problems.They also investigate finding the perimeter of different polygons and define the characteristics to classify the shape as a polygon.

Students review the procedure for determining appropriate types of measurements for given situations and measurement conversions. They figure perimeter, area, and volume of 2 and 3 dimensional objects.

Students use formulas for common geometric shapes in order to solve a real-life, multi-step problem. They calculate material cost based on price/sq. unit.

Eighth graders discover how the change in the dimensions of a shape cause a change in the overall area of the shape, but the perimeter stay the same. They, in groups, go out to the playground and construct large areas using stakes and rope.

Students calculate the perimeter of a random shape on a grid.

In this Cyberchase video segment, the CyberSquad learns what happens to the area of a rectangle when the shape enclosed by the perimeter changes.

Learners complete an online quiz that tests them on circumference and perimeter. Hints and solutions are included.

Students learn and practice how to find the perimeter of a polygonal shape. Using a ruler, they measure model rooms made of construction paper walls. They learn about other tools, such as a robot, that can help them take measurements....

This resource allows users to test their geometry knowledge.

Through this lesson, students will learn how to use ratios to create a scale drawing of their classroom's floor plan. It provides adaptations, discussion questions, assessment rubric, and suggested readings to help develop students'...

The students can use varying numbers of tiles to form shapes, and then find the minimum and maximum perimeter for each.

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.]
