6th Grade Math: Geometry Bundle: 5 Activities: Area, Perimeter, Volume

Do you need some new ideas for your 6th grade math unit to meet the Common Core State Standards for Geometry? Here is a ready-to-go bundle with five fun real-life activities to incorporate into your unit plan.

1) Area of Triangles, Parallelograms, and Trapezoids: This JIGSAW activity allows your students to become experts at determining the area of one kind of shape. Then, using the Jigsaw instructional strategy, groups of three experts teach each other all of the formulas.

2) 5 Stations for Area, Perimeter, and Volume of Right-Angle Shapes: These fun stations allow students to plan a backyard, solve word problems, measure a box, and work with compound shapes!

3) Design a Logo: Students use their knowledge of plotting ordered pairs to draw several polygons on a Cartesian plane to reveal a logo. Then they get to design their own and trade their coordinates with a friend!

4) Paint a Doghouse: Students use organized tables and grid paper to carefully calculate the surface area of a doghouse to determine how much paint they would need to spruce it up. A great real world application!

5) I have included another bonus inquiry activity: Students investigate the relationship between area and perimeter to see if they can find a predictable trend.

Grades to Use With:

This bundle is designed for students in Grade 6, but can be used for Grade 5 enrichment, Grade 7 or 8 review, or high school special education classes.
