Seventh graders explore the concept of area. In this area lesson, 7th graders determine what measurements are necessary to find the area of a rectangle and circle. Students use area formulas to calculate area or rectangles and circles.

Fifth graders use the Celsius and Fahrenheit thermometers to compare temperature readings. They use the Internet to find the temperatures of selected cities. After data is collected for five days, 5th graders graph the temperatures.

Students construct clocks and then learn how to read a clock face, tell time, and determine how much time has elapsed.

Learners visit various websites to calculate the area of circles, triangles, rectangles, trapezoids, and parallelograms. They explore math problems and play interactive games dealing with geometry.

Students explore techniques that determine the merchantable height of a tree and the number of logs a tree provides.

Seventh graders organize a 20 x 17 room with a given set of furniture pieces. Arrangement is to be based on maximum comfort and practicality. This lesson is a good way to teach and reinforce the mathematical concept of area.

Students display knowledge of line of symmetry by designing a geometric stained glass window pattern.

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.

Third graders create a box big enough to hold a million dollars. This is a project fun to do near the winter holidays with inexpensive gifts included in the boxes. This hands-on instructional activity very effectively demonstrates the...

Students create a design for their ideal school. They work in groups to design a part of the school and put the designs together to create one complete school design.

Students practice stenciling designs onto fabric in hoops. After the quilting is complete, they stitch lace around the hoop to make it more decrative. They share their quilt with the class and the class comments on the design.

Young scholars analyze light bulbs and their design. They create filaments and build a circuit for testing the filaments. Through experimentation, students discover how filament wire works. They explore the role of protons, electrons,...

Seventh graders investigate the mathematical concept of a sector. They apply the concept to an example problem and then move into a more complex application. They find the area of the side of a cone. This is done as students calculate...

Sixth graders discuss the characteristics of specific angles and then use the information to to identify and estimate given angles. The class goes outside, identifies north, and turns a specified amount of degrees. Using a given compass,...

Students find the different ratios of a right triangle. In this geometry lesson, students apply the concept of the Pythagorean theorem as they identify the different angles and parts of a Unit Circle. They find the ratios of sine,...

This site provides the formula for circumference. Links are provided.

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

Students solidify their understanding of the terms "circumference" and "rotation" through the use of LEGO MINDSTORMS NXT robotics components. They measure the circumference of robot wheels to determine how far the robot can travel during...

The interactive tutorial explores the history behind Pi and how to find its value. Students use images of circular objects and find the diameter and circumference to obtain an approximate value of Pi. The resource has an interactive...

At the end of this lesson plan about formulas, students will be able to identify and apply the correct formula for a given situation, solve for any unknown component of the formulas for perimeter, circumference, and area of regular and...

In this activity, students will measure round objects to determine the circumference and diameter, and use the data to explore geometric concepts of the circle with statistics.

This lesson focuses on the characteristics of a circle including similarity, radius, circumference, and Pi. It provides formulas to determine the area of a circle, calculating Pi, and learning exercises throughout.

[Free Registration/Login Required] This flipchart contains activities and instructions for students on how to solve for the volume of a cylinder and finding the circumference of a circle.

Working as a team, students discover that the value of pi (3.1415926) is a constant and applies to all different sized circles. The team builds a basic robot and programs it to travel in a circular motion. A marker attached to the robot...
