develop strategies for estimating the perimeters, areas, and volumes of irregular shapes

Triangle Area	Lesson: Students learn about finding the area of a triangle.
Area (elementary)	Lesson: This lesson has students explore areas of rectangular and irregular shapes on a grid to help them understand the concept of area and the units in which area is measured.
Estimation (elementary)	Lesson: Students practice and improve upon their estimation skills.
Area	Lesson: Comparing shapes with the same areas but different perimeters.
Length, Perimeter, and Area	Lesson: Introduces students to length, perimeter and area.
Perimeter	Lesson: Introduces students to the concept of perimeter.
Area Explorer	Activity: Learn the difference 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.
Shape Explorer	Activity: Learn the difference between perimeter and area. A random shape will be automatically generated. Calculate the area and perimeter of this shape. Shape Explorer is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.

develop strategies to determine the surface areas and volumes of rectangular solids

Perimeter (elementary)	Lesson: Students learn about perimeter and the units used to measure perimeter using a variety of materials including their hands, feet, rulers, and computer applets.
Surface Area and Volume	Lesson: Introduces students to the concepts of surface area and volume.
Surface Area and Volume	Activity: Manipulate dimensions of a triangular or rectangular prism, and investigate how the surface area and volume change. Parameters: length, width and height.

develop, understand, and use formulas to find the area of rectangles and related triangles and parallelograms

Area	Lesson: Comparing shapes with the same areas but different perimeters.
Area (elementary)	Lesson: This lesson has students explore areas of rectangular and irregular shapes on a grid to help them understand the concept of area and the units in which area is measured.
