Lesson Plan Title: Surface Area and Volume
Day _2_ of _week 3___
Key Concept(s) in this lesson: Finding surface area and volume of 3-D objects
Also, what metaphor or analogy can you use to help students grasp concept
Section 1: WHAT YOU WANT STUDENTS TO KNOW, BE ABLE TO DO, OR FEEL/UNDERSTAND
Lesson goal(s)
We want the students to be able to calculate the surface area and volume of 3-D objects.
Specific Objectives
Understanding the methods used to calculate surface area and volume.
Standards addressed (EALRs, GLEs)
COMPONENT 1.2: Understand and apply concepts and procedures from measurement.
EX Represent the volume for given rectangular prisms using pictures or models.
EX Describe and provide examples of surface area and volume.
EX Describe the relationship between surface area and volume of a rectangular prism.
EX Label measurements of rectangular prisms to show understanding of the relationships among linear dimensions, surface area, and volume of rectangular prisms.
Primary Learning targets: which of these, a-e? (Be sure learning activities are congruent with targets chosen.)
(a) Knowledge (b) Reasoning Proficiency (c) Performance Skill (d) Create a Product (e) Dispositions
(a) Knowledge (b) Reasoning Proficiency (c) Performance Skill (e) Dispositions
Section 2: HOW WILL YOU KNOW THAT THE LEARNING TARGETS WERE MET?
Pre-assessment: [What do they “know” already?] Attach any applicable instruments .
Basic math (addition, subtraction, multiplication, division)
Basic structure of 3-D objects and net formations
Formative Assessment.(s) [Are they getting it along the lesson?] (e.g. planned comprehension checks). Attach any applicable instruments .
We will have a comprehension check list attached
Summative Assessment [Did they get it?] – end of lesson or unit. Attach any applicable instruments.
See attached check list
STEACHING STRATEGIES :
SCRIPTED strategic teaching questions you will ask students
We will ask the students to calculate the surface area and volume of 3-D objects room arrangement: Instructional Materials Needed
Pre-made 3-D objects and nets Tables in a U formation
Accommodations: (e.g. ELL students, special needs, 504, etc.)
Time e.g. 5 min.
(or 9:40-9:45
What Teacher Does
Introductory Activity or hook:
What Students Do
Time:12:30 Homework review
Time:12:50 Review surface area and volume formulas
Calculate the surface area and volume of their 3-D
Time:
Show the nets that they created and turn into a 3-D object
Listen to review
Work individually to calculate the surface area and volume of their 3-D object objects
Closure Plan (consider including reinforcement of learning, affirmations, glimpse at tomorrow-bridge)
Assign practice questions on surface area and volume
Hand out feedback sheets
If time allows: weekly reflection
Look over practice assignment and study sheets, ask questions if needed.
Fill out feedback sheeet
Write reflection
