These step by step instructions break down the process of calculating area and volume into chunks. Instructions start by reviewing how to count squares on graphing paper. They next review multiplying sides to get the area of simple rectangles. The lesson guides students in breaking down complex shapes into simple rectangles. There are also sets of practice questions. The packet ends with a challenge page for advanced and high achieving students where some side lengths are missing!

Learn math vocabulary with this fun hands-on activity. Students cut their work sheets and bind them together into a book using a simple stapler. Students look up math terms that match the corresponding letters in the alphabet then draw and write down these terms. Students can complete their book individually or with a group. This activity makes a great study guide for an upcoming assessment. It can also be used for gifted students or a sub plan!
