South Carolina Academic Standards for Mathematics
6th Grade
Measurement
The student will demonstrate through the mathematical processes an understanding of surface area; the perimeter and area of irregular shapes; the relationships among the circumference, diameter, and radius of a circle; the use of proportions to determine unit rates; and the use of scale to determine distance.
Lessons (7)
Comparing shapes with the same areas but different perimeters.
Introduces students to simple probability concepts.
Introduces students to length, perimeter and area.
Introduces students to lines, rays, line segments, and planes.
Introduces students to the concept of perimeter.
Students learn about how probability can be represented using geometry.
Introduces students to the concepts of surface area and volume.
Activities (3)
Learn the relationship between perimeter and area. A shape will be automatically generated with the perimeter that you choose. Calculate the area of this shape. Area Explorer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
Measure angles, distances, and areas in several different images (choices include maps, aerial photos, and others). A scale feature allows the user to set the scale used for measuring distances and areas.
Learn the relationship between perimeter and area. A shape will be automatically generated with the area that you choose. Calculate the perimeter of this shape. Perimeter Explorer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
