In this fractions and patterns learning exercise, students make patterns of parallelograms and trapezoids using pattern blocks. Students complete 6 problems.

Sixth graders fill out worksheets to find the perimeter and area of rectangles. In this perimeter and area lesson plan, 6th graders color in the area and measure the perimeters.

Students study the concept of fraction using mathematical reasoning. In this problem solving fraction lesson, students use various methods to explain their reasoning in solving fractions. Students use a number of different prompts to...

Sixth graders study the concepts of area and dimensions. For 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...

Fourth graders engage in and explore to develop mathematical, specifically algebraic, ideas. Although the tasks are built around measurement, they are algebraic to the extent that they require 'formulae' to be derived form the geometric...

Students examine the rhombi or diamond shape and compare it to the square. Students are challenged to create as many flat rhombus shapes as possible and develop a definition for the rhombus shape in 20 minutes while working in teams of...

Students handle geometric shape puppets and answer specific questions about dimension. They write from the shape's point of view comparing themselves to everyday objects.

Students examine a variety of real life situations in which they must access information, select an appropriate formula, and calculate an answer. A rectangular piece of grass provides an opportunity for the exploration of this lesson.

Second graders explore shapes and create a Silly Shape book. Students recognize that shapes have certain properties and be able to define them. Example, a triangle is any three-sided shape. Students' job is to make a picture on...

Second graders investigate the task of making a large hexagonal plate by putting together smaller ones. The lesson has detailed example problems for the teacher to use during direct instruction. The manipulative activities strengthen the...

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...

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...

Students will construct a golden section and a golden rectangle and study their characteristics and connections with the Fibonacci series. They import pictures from the internet and download them into the Sketchpad. Using their "golden"...

In this graphing worksheet, students predict how a graph of given functions will work. Next, they check their work using a graphing calculator. Students use algebra to complete the graph of a square and determine transformations.

In this mathematics worksheet, students identify various shapes. Then they circle the correct number of shapes illustrated in each box. There are 10 problems to solve on the sheet.

In this mathematics worksheet, students identify various types of shapes shown. Then they circle the group with the most shapes. There are 8 problems to solve on the sheet.

In this mathematics instructional activity, students solve a number of problems by counting each shape and graphing the amount to the right in height. Then they circle the shape that appears the most often on the sheet.

In this mathematics worksheet, students circle the shape in each group that is different. there are six different groups to identify on the sheet.

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.

In this mystery numbers worksheet, students solve 4 different word problems that include guessing numbers described. First, they determine a two digit number that has the sum equal to 6. Then, students determine a two digit number that...

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

In this 2D shape/rectangle worksheet, students view a picture of a large rectangle. Worksheet has no other associated activities. A reference web site is given for additional activities.
