Explore linear measurement. Scholars will measure the circumference of their head and the distance they can jump. Information is recorded, averages are calculated, and a data table is completed. They then determine possible relationships...

Tenth graders investigate the history of Pi and how it relates to circles. In this geometry lesson, 10th graders measure the circumference of a circle and the diameter of a circle. They relate these measurements to the number of Pi or 3.14

A fun (and delicious!) lesson teaches measurement to your third graders. They work in small groups to first predict, then to measure the weight, circumference, and number of seeds found in a watermelon. Everyone gets to eat watermelon...

Circles are the foundation of many geometric concepts and extensions - a point that is thoroughly driven home in this extensive unit. Fundamental properties of circles are investigated (including sector area, angle measure, and...

Third graders work in groups of two to three with measuring tapes, finding the circumference and diameter of teacher-selected circular items. They relate circumference and diameter measurements to find pi.

Students review the parts of a circle, calculate the circumference and area of a circle, and create student-made tests on the geometry of circles using educational software.

Students estimate the height of trees on the school campus, and measure their circumferences. They develop a map of trees on the school site, conduct their measurements, and record the results on a data table.

With so many math standards to fit into a school year, it can be difficult keeping track of what you have and have not covered. This collection of Common Core checklists allows you to maintain a running record of when each...

Geometric design makes a fashion statement! Challenge learners to design a hat to fit a Styrofoam model. Specifications are clear and pupils use concepts related to three-dimensional objects including volume of irregular shapes and...

Students identify and use descriptive writing and measurement terms to describe a student-created robot. Then they construct robots of materials available and then use AlphaSmarts or Danas to describe the robot using only the dimensions....

Learners identify the relationship between the radius and Pi. In this geometry lesson, students calculate the circumference and area of a circle. They create visuals to help them see how the circumference relates to Pi.

Ninth graders explore the concept of pi in preparation for developing a project for pi day. They examine direct variation, the history of pi, circle circumference and arc length, area and sector area and then consider how these concepts...

Students complete circumference activities using a pumpkin and explore treating people fairly in regards to their physical characteristics. For this math and character lesson, students view images of pumpkins and describe them. Students...

In this measurement learning exercise, 6th graders complete 15 word problems where they find different measurements such as circumference, area, radius, perimeter, and more, for different shapes.

Students use geometric formulas to divide a pumpkin pie. In this geometric formulas lesson, students review equations for area and circumference of a circle and divide a pumpkin pie to practice the formulas. Students use the Pythagorean...

Young scholars construct ratios using the hand as data. They use examples of cortical and trabecular bone found in the long bones to measure circumference, diameter, length, and weight of long bones. They perform computations using...

Middle schoolers discover scales for both the solar bodies' relative sizes and their distances from the sun. They find equatorial circumference and volumes of their solar bodies. Students apply estimation strategies and proportioanl...

Students complete multi-curricular activities in a Halloween themed lesson. In this Halloween lesson, students examine newspaper ads to find prices of pumpkins and use them to complete a stem and leaf plot. Students find the diameter,...

Students investigate circles using a BMX path. In this circles lesson, students use technology of various kinds to create a BMX track. They use Moodle to develop their lesson and as they investigate the area and perimeter of a circle....

Students use small objects as a unit of measurement for larger objects. Working in small groups, they measure the circumference of smaller spheres and estimate the circumference of larger spheres using these measurements. Students...

First graders understand that pumpkins grow slowly over several months. In this pumpkin lesson, 1st graders listen to the book Pumpkin, Pumpkin and recall the sequence of the pumpkin life cycle. Students create pumpkin artwork showing...

In this measurement worksheet, 6th graders find the area, perimeter, radius, diameter and circumference of many different shapes. Students complete 15 problems.

Students identify the radius and diameter of a circle. For this geometry lesson, students calculate the volume and area of a cylinder and circle. They relate the circumference of a circle to Pi.

In this discovering Pi worksheet, students read about finding Pi, then find diameter and circumference of circles. Text page numbers are referenced, but no text name is given.
