A simple hands-on STEM/geometry activity in which students identify and construct cuboid shapes.
A print-and-play matching card game that has students identify and name 2D/3D geometric shapes and related terms (points, lines, angles) to review or introduce geometry vocabulary.
A six-answer survey question anchors this integrated math project, which has students poll exactly 25 people and tally the responses by hand. From there they convert each answer's tally into a fraction out of 25, an equivalent fraction out of 100, and a percent written as a decimal, following a worked example (4/25 = 16/100 = 16% = 0.16). The next step converts each decimal to a number of degrees by multiplying by 360, with a reminder that all six values must sum to 360 degrees before drawing begins. In the final step, students use a protractor aligned to the circle's center to plot each angle in turn, then add a title, color, and labels to complete their own hand-drawn circle graph.
Cut-and-fold interactive activity where students identify and describe different types of triangles and connect them to real-world shapes.
Measurement: Word Problems Vol. 3-5 Measurement: Word Problems Vol.
A multi-day project-based learning activity in which students design a garden/flower bed, applying area and perimeter math to squares and rectangles.
A shape-matching activity giving young learners hands-on practice identifying and matching geometric shapes.
Teaches metric units of mass and volume (grams, kilograms, liters) through vocabulary matching, a board game, and a word-problem worksheet.

Give students mixed practice converting units across time, length, weight, and liquid volume using word-problem task cards, with an accompanying PowerPoint version for digital/projected use.
Give students mixed practice converting units across time, length, weight, and liquid volume using word-problem task cards.
A large no-prep packet teaching 3D shapes (cube, sphere, cone, and others) through informational shape pages, real-world-connection readings, color/read/write practice, step-by-step drawing guides, cut-and-fold 'make your own shape' craft templates, and open-ended draw-and-write reflection pages.
A cut-and-paste activity for classifying shapes/images as symmetrical or not symmetrical.
A home-learning design project applying knowledge of 3D shapes and nets by having students design and build a box to store a favourite toy, integrating measurement.
Geometry activity with scaffolded notes teaching the Triangle Inequality Theorem through a hands-on discovery activity using cut straws (or spaghetti) of measured lengths, then guided notes and practice problems.
Task cards for early math practice combining color recognition with counting; students count colored shapes and circle the correct total.
A shape-based roll-and-draw dice game in which students build a drawing of a snail by rolling for each column of body parts on the game sheet and combining the resulting shapes into a finished picture.
Gives students practice converting between metric units (length, weight, capacity) and solving multi-step measurement word problems using a place-value-chart conversion method.
This lesson is great for helping students apply formulas to find the area and perimeter of rectangles in word problems , which is essential for fourth grade students. By the end of this lesson, students will be able to confidently solve these types of problems on their own.
A 1-page perimeter practice worksheet where students calculate the perimeter of several labeled polygon shapes using given side lengths in centimeters.
A measurement math worksheet where students use a ruler to find the perimeter and area of illustrated grid-based shapes ('petit prairies'), with a 3rd-grade version adding equation-writing practice.
Provide a set of six hands-on measurement center activities (balance scales, footsteps, geoboards, rice table, base-10 blocks, and meters) for students to practice guessing and measuring.
Guided notes and practice teaching scale factor and scale drawings to meet CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.G.A.1.
Give students hands-on practice measuring the perimeter of polygons using string/yarn and a ruler.
