Leave no student behind with this differentiated geometry unit on perimeter and area. Over the course of five lessons, young mathematicians explore these foundational concepts through a series of self-selected hands-on activities and...

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

Discuss different techniques for finding the area of a geometric shape, with a great visual guide. Using a real life example, learners calculate the area of a rectangle and a square. 

Alternate between area and perimeter with this activity, practicing both concepts with different shapes. Problems include examples with parallelograms, octagons, squares, rectangles, and trapezoids. The formulas are not provided, so...

Learners of all ages investigate area and perimeter through pentominoes. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the are and perimeter of different geometric shapes and describe the properties of similar and congruent shapes. This...

There are many different polygons, so give your learners a worksheet that practices area and perimeter on the various shapes. This full-page worksheet includes problems with hexagons, trapezoids, squares, parallelograms, and rectangles....

Students measure the perimeter and area of their polygons. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and area using the correct tools. They calculate the time and temperature and the perimeter and side lengths of triangles.

Fifth graders find the area of rice farms. In this area lesson, 5th graders draw shapes and grid them to find the area. They compare different rice fields to see which one takes up more space and has the larger area. 

Upper elementary and middle schoolers examine the Volumes of Similar Figures. They investigate the relationship between corresponding sides and evaluate the volume of similar figures. Pupils record their findings on various activity...

Students calculate the volume of different polygons. In this geometry lesson, students identify the relationship between base and height. They calculate the area of each prism and cylinder.

Twelfth graders apply the formula for finding the area of a triangle to various problems. They work real life problems for finding the area of a bathroom and the cost of tiling it. They play a game, Triangle Bingo, where they match...

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...

Students use formulas to find the area of geometric shapes. For this measurement lesson, students create a table of formulas for finding the area and perimeter of various shapes. Students read the book Eight Hands Round, and find the...

Reinforce math concepts of multiplication, division, area, cups, and perimeter, with a mixed practice learning exercise that offers five word problems.

Fifth graders study perimeter. In this math lesson, 5th graders use Cheerios to find the perimeter of various polygons. Students discuss how to figure the perimeter of triangles, squares and rectangles.

Eighth graders plot points and investigate polygons. They locate a point, using ordered pairs of integers on the coordinate plane. Students compare geometric measurements and computations on coordinate axes as they are applied to...

Sixth graders explore the relationship between area and perimeter of rectangles. For this area and perimeter lesson, 6th graders measure and determine perimeter and area of various rectangles. Students create rectangles with given areas...

Students classify quadrilaterals. In this quadrilateral lesson plan, students identify the characteristics of quadrilaterals. They write their findings in a journal. Students use geoboards to create quadrilaterals from given descriptions.

Young scholars measure the area using feet and yard. In this algebra lesson, students draw and manipulate shapes to calculate the area. They measure the relationship of area between the two units.

Learners calculate the surface area and volume of shapes. In this geometry lesson, students create different scales and calculate the volume and area for each shape. They compare and contrast between the different scales and shapes.
