Sixth graders study the concepts of area and dimensions. In this area and dimensions lesson, 6th graders work in pairs to complete the handout included that illustrates ways to represent various numbers. Students also determine what...

In this dimension worksheet, students determine the amount of material needed to construct three-dimensional figures. They find the dimensions of areas inscribed in given diagrams, determine the amount of profit, and the maximum flow of...

Measurement and map skills are the focus of this activity, where students crawl through a "cave" made out of boxes, desks and chairs, observing the dimensions.  Your young geographers measure various aspects of the cave and practice...

Students determine the dimension of a subspace.  In this dimension and rank lesson, students explore the dimension of a vector space.  They compare and explore the relationship in a matrix. 

Fourth graders practice calculating area by creating a classroom quilt. Students are given a 6x6 inch square material they design based on a classroom theme. A sample of the class quilt is created using graph paper so students may...

Sixth graders develop a rule for finding the volume of rectangular solids using colored cubes. They investigate the properties of solid figures and find the volume of an object by counting units. Students fill spaces with standard-sized...

Learners are introduced to units of measurement found on a ruler as well as what attributes make an object difficult or easier to measure with a ruler. The teacher has various objects placed around the room, and the youngsters practice...

In this estimation worksheet, 3rd graders study the 6 dimensions of a sketch of a house. Students estimate and measure 6 different sides of the house. Students check off each of 6 items that are longer than 1 decimeter.

In this volume worksheet, 10th graders solve 10 different word problems that include determining the volume in each one. First, they determine the ratio of their radius given the cubic meters of a sphere. Then, students determine the...

Review the principles of scaling areas and draws a comparison to scaling volumes with a third dimensional measurement. The exercises continue with what happens to the volume if the dimensions are not multiplied by the same...

In this linear algebra worksheet, students solve 3 different sets of problems that include rank, dimension, nullspace and range of linear algebra. They determine the relation between the rank of a matrix and the dimension of its range....

Students examine the relationship between three dimensions and two dimensions by working with shadows of cubes and other models. Students work in groups and use Zome System Creator Kits to try and build a shape other than a cube that...

Double, toil ,and double linear dimensions. Learners first complete an assessment investigating how doubling linear dimensions affects the area of pizzas and the volume of popcorn containers. They then complete an activity investigating...

Second graders take a field trip to a nearby church or other historical building and examine it from a mathematical perspective. In groups, they calculate the seating capacity, describe the window patterns, differentiate types of...

Using Google SketchUp, learners draw a model of their bedroom. They begin by measuring the dimensions of their bedroom, inputting this information into the software program, and calculating perimeter and area. This is an interesting and...

How do 2-D properties relate in 3-D? Lead the class in a discussion on how to draw and see relationships of lines and planes in three dimensions. The ability to see these relationships is critical to the further study of volume and...

The title says it all: Could King Kong exist? Investigate how increasing the dimensions of an object affects its surface area and volume to mathematically conclude whether a creature with the weight and height of King Kong could actually...

In this area worksheet students read story problems, determine the necessary information to solve the problem. They find the amount of material needed to construct three-dimensional figures. Students determine the greatest and least area...

Learners explore the concept of volume. They develop formulas for volume of prisms. Then use their formulas to find missing dimensions of various prisms such as height, length, width, radius, and diameter.

Taking the notion of symmetry to the next level, this looks at combining rotation and translation symmetry to build spiral symmetry in three dimensions. Using the Zome modeling system and an instructor’s guidance, geometers try to build...

Students use the Pythagorean Theorem to solve problems. In this geometry lesson, students solve for the distances by calculating the different parts of the shape of a two and three dimensional shape. They reason by analogy.

Young scholars work to find and reinforce concepts related to lines and angles. They identify the characteristics of shapes that have one, two, and three dimensions. The students also work on definitions related to the geometry of shapes.

Learners calculate the surface area of three rectangular prisms, including a cube, based on given dimensions. There are only three diagrams with which to work. Nice homework, as it provides practice, but isn't too much busy work or...

Middle schoolers discover how to measure in one and two dimensional space and calculate how much space any object of a given dimension occupies. After a discussion about dimensions, students work with Zome System Creator Kits to build...
