Learners use a ruler to make measurements, and to create triangles and a rectangle. They take the shapes they've made and assemble them into an evergreen tree image. This simple, yet effective, instructional activity would be ideal for...

Find the area of squares and rectangles and discuss square inches and square centimeters with your young geometers. Follow the example provided, and then let learners try it for themselves! They will find the area of seven rectangles. 

A rectangles and shapes online worksheet in which young learners determine what fraction is shaded in eight rectangles. They also answer three word problems and color the parts shown and requested on five shapes. They get immediate...

What a fun activity for younger learners! Using this resource, they can discuss the attributes of squares, rectangles, triangles, circles, and ovals, and also engage in a motivating activity. For those learning about simple shapes, this...

In this square unit worksheet, students read the word problem about the pens Farmer Mathman wants to build for his animals. Students then use the table to guide them. Students draw their answers on grid paper and then answer the four...

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

Learners participate in a number of hands-on shape-related activities. They match and sort shapes by attribute, read books about shapes, complete shape art projects and explore and compare parts of shapes.

Students explore coordinates and scale drawings. In this drawing to scale lesson, students discuss symmetrical and asymmetrical shapes, geometric, shapes and estimation of size.  Students recreate a portion of a drawing using a...

Pupils calculate area using the geoboard application on their calculators. They use a TI-73 calculator to find the areas of the shapes provided in the accompanying worksheet. Screen shots and instructions for creating shapes in the...

In this area worksheet, students read and problem solve the area of 8 triangles. Students show their work on each problem on the worksheet.

Finding the perimeter of a rectangle is easy, and this presentation gives the formula that makes it so. In this short PowerPoint, learners find the perimeter of a given rectangle, after being coached on how to calculate the measurement....

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.

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students respond to 4 multiple choice questions that require them to identify triangles, squares, and rectangles.

In this geometric shapes worksheet, students cut out the triangles on the bottom of the worksheet and then paste them on the rectangle at the top of the worksheet.

In this rectangle worksheet, students use their fine motor skills to cut out 4 rectangles and then paste them on a larger rectangle template.

In this visual thinking worksheet, learners count all the rectangles in a figure that has both large and small shapes. Students write how many rectangles they count in the figure.

In this geometry learning exercise, students find the area of squares, rectangles, and non traditional shapes. Students complete 5 problems on this learning exercise. 

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

In this rectangle worksheet, students focus on mastery of the shape. Students trace 3 horizontal and 3 vertical rectangles.

In this geometry worksheet, students examine 14 rectangles of different sizes which are shown with dotted lines. Students trace the rectangles and "colour" in the shapes.

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...
