Interactivate: Aligned Resources

California Content Standards
Grade 7
Measurement and Geometry
2.0 Students compute the perimeter, area, and volume of common geometric objects and use the results to find measures of less common objects. They know how perimeter, area, and volume are affected by changes of scale

Lessons (1)

Area

Comparing shapes with the same areas but different perimeters.

Audiences: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8

Primary Subjects: Geometry

Related Topics: area, comparing, geometry, integers, length, perimeter, polygon, rectangles, right angle, squares, width

Activities (5)

Area Explorer

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.

Audiences: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8

Primary Subjects: Geometry

Related Topics: addition, area, arithmetic, assessment, comparing, coordinate plane, geometry, length, perimeter, polygon, rectangles, squares

Perimeter Explorer

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.

Audiences: Grades 3-5, Grades 6-8

Primary Subjects: Geometry

Related Topics: area, arithmetic, assessment, comparing, coordinate plane, coordinate system, geometry, length, perimeter, polygon, rectangles, squares

Shape Builder

This activity operates in one of two modes: auto draw and create shape mode, allowing you to explore relationships between area and perimeter. Shape Builder is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
