Organization: Virginia Standards of Learning
Grade Band: 7th Grade
Standard Goal: Measurement

a) estimate and find the area of polygons by subdividing them into rectangles and right triangles; and

Area	Lesson: Comparing shapes with the same areas but different perimeters.
Length, Perimeter, and Area	Lesson: Introduces students to length, perimeter and area.
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.

b) apply perimeter and area formulas in practical situations.

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.
Floor Tiles	Activity: Build a "floor tile" by dragging the corners of a quadrilateral. Learn about tessellations created from quadrilaterals when the shape you build is tiled over a plane.
Image Tool	Activity: 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.
Tables and Chairs	Activity: Explore rectangular and straight-line arrangements of tables, calculating the number of chairs needed to surround different arrangements thereby exploring perimeter concepts. Tables and Chairs is one of the Interactivate assessment explorers.
