What | How long | Materials used | |
Bridge | Review the definitions of rectangles, squares and circles. Take several responses to get an idea of what the students know. | 2 min | |
Learning Objective | Students will calculate the area of a rectangle, a square and a circle. Students will solve problems involving the areas of rectangles, squares or circles. | ||
Teaching Objective | Students will be able to solve problems individually and cooperatively. Students will be able to clearly and logically communicate a solution to a problem and the process used to solve it. | ||
Pre-test | Ask the students about the formula of areas of rectangles, squares and circles. | 2 min | |
Participatory learning | Ask the Students to solve a problem that involves the calculations of the area of a rectangle and a circle combined. Ask students to describe in words the steps that they will need to take to obtain the answer. Students will work in small groups to find the areas by using the formulas for the area of a rectangle and of a circle. | 5 min | Rectangle shaped cardboards with a cut-out circle in the middle. |
Post-test | Ask students to solve a similar problem involving many circles marked on a rectangle. Compare results with other groups. | 5 min | Another cardboard with many circles marked on a rectangle |
Summary | Give overview | 1 min |
