Players take turns adding shapes made of three squares to a grid. They try to fit their shapes on the grid in a way that blocks the other player.

As learners play this strategy game, they develop understanding of squares, area, and perimeter. On each turn, a player draws a line between two dots next to each other on the grid.

In this activity, learners will predict the size of a giant scale model of a comb or other rectangular object, then make one. If you tripled the size of a dollar bill, could you sit on it?

As learners play this game, they build skills in area, perimeter, multiples and factors. They take turns making rectangles with 12 squares on the grid.

In this activity, learners take a turn contributing a closed figure made of six squares to a large grid; each must be different from all the others on the grid so far.

In this math activity, learners trace their hands and estimate the number of beans that can fit into their hand tracings. Then, learners glue the beans to the tracing to test out their estimations.

In this activity, learners combine counting, area and perimeter concepts as they prepare the seating arrangement for a family reunion dinner.

Learners make a counting/estimating jar to exchange with friends or bring home.

In this activity, learners build a water squirter using a PVC pipe, dowel, and foam. This activity is great for the summer time and introduces learners to forces and water pressure.

Using a real-size sketch of a baby elephant's footprint, learners estimate, measure and record the width (diameter) and outside edge length (perimeter or circumference) of the footprint.

In this math lesson, learners explore and investigate measurement using standard and non-standard units.

In this online activity, learners will explore size estimation in one, two and three dimensions. Multiple levels of difficulty allow for progressive skill improvement.
