Deliver
Pupils measure the mass, volume, length and area of various objects. They are assigned a letter. The task is assesses students' abilities to make simple observations and measurements.
Curated OER
Instruments and Measurement
Students circulate through stations to determine the proper instrument to make a certain type of measurement. They must make measurements of mass, volume, length, area, electrical current, temperature and force.
Curated OER
Finding Areas of Plane Figures
Pupils compute areas of squares, rectangles, and so on and summarize the formulas for computing areas and explain how the formulas are derived and understand the reasoning behind them.
Curated OER
Living Room Redecoration
The student calculate area and perimeter based on the dimensions of a living room. They determine the amount of supplies needed for painting and carpeting the room. Pupils create a portfolio of their information.

Tiling a Patio
Fifth graders practice, with spreadsheets, to demonstrate how to determine the number of tiles needed to create a patio. They use pictures and gathered data to determine a pattern that can be used to solve problems. Students create a...
Curated OER
Length, Perimeter, and Area
Students explore the concepts of length, perimeter and area. Students develop an understanding of length, perimeter, and area. Students calculate the area and perimeter of random shapes and calculate the area and perimeter of a triangle...
Curated OER
Pythagorean Theorem
Students are introduced to the Pythagorean theorem. They use three different activities that give students the opportuntiy to observe triangles, and use the Pythagorean theorem and practice different ways of determining areas of...
Curated OER
Perimeter and Area
Middle schoolers review concepts of area and perimeter, find area and perimeter of circles, practice calculating circumferences with a calculator, and calculate area using pi button.
Curated OER
Picket Fence Around the Garden
Young scholars design different shaped plots and determine the perimeter, area and shape of each. They compare the shapes that have the same area but may have different perimeters.
Curated OER
Pooling Around
Pupils complete a unit of lessons on computing area and volume. They play a Jeopardy game of basic area formulas, calculate surface area of shapes, develop a Powerpoint presentation, and conduct a simulation of finding the surface area...
Curated OER
The Greedy Triangle
Third graders use the book "The Greedy Triangle" to practice measuring perimeter and area. They also calculate the length of objects.
Curated OER
What's the Area?
Fifth graders use area to calculate the cost for new flooring. They find the area of a square or rectangle. Calculating Area problems and worksheet are attached.
Curated OER
Area is Always Flat, But It's Not Always Regular
Learners calculate the area of regular and irregular polygons by counting the number of whole an half squares within the polygon. They determine the formula for regular polygons and label the area in square units.
Curated OER
Planning a Garden
Seventh graders research the World Wide Web to research and plan a garden for their school. They draw a scale model of the garden, determine the cost, and create a presentation to promote their garden plan.
Curated OER
Paper Architecture - Designing Human Spaces
Students design, then construct an architectural structural model of a two-person dwelling. Then, Students, in groups, plan a city layout.
Curated OER
Shape Matters More!
Students investigate shapes as the area changes while the perimeter remains the same. Students demonstrate the shape/perimeter/area relationship using simulations and physical models.
Curated OER
How Big Is Your House?
Students create a scale drawing of their own homes. They use geometric formulas to find the area of each room and the total area of the home.
Curated OER
Area Adventure
Students calculate the area of figures using the formula: length x width = area. They solve area problems using paper squares, geoboards, and real-world problems.
Curated OER
Area Explorations
Students explore the area of rectangles. They practice finding area by playing an onliine computer activity where they calculate the area of a rectangle to solve a problem.
Curated OER
Exploring Area/Perimeter Through Coordinate Geometry
Students explore area and perimeter through coordinate geometry using student literature, hands-on manipulatives, and the Internet.
