Standards Common Core Standards: 4.MD.3- Apply the area and perimeter formulas for rectangles in the real world.
Media and Materials SMARTBoard, Internet, QR Codes (nonverbal and verbal instructions), iPods. laptops
Higher Order Thinking Skills: Knowledge, Understand, Apply, Analyze, Evaluate, Create (all levels will be used) What is the meaning of area and perimeter? What is the difference between area and perimeter? Draw a picture to explain. If I change one of the sides of a rectangle, how will it affect the area and perimeter? Draw a picture to explain. What is the relationship between area and perimeter? Explain. How can I create and design figures using problem solving skills?
Learning Objectives: Students will be able to define and understand the difference between area and perimeter. Students will draw conclusions about the relationship between the area and perimeter when the area is fixed. Students will draw conclusions about the relationship between the area and perimeter when the perimeter is fixed. Students will describe the difference between units used for area and perimeter.
Lesson #1
Anticipatory Set: Students will answer Entry Ticket by logging in to www.kahoot.it using the classroom code. Find the area for the following figure? Find the perimeter for the following figure? (This will be used as data to see who remembers how to solve problems.) Students will type in answers and their answers will lead class discussion on how to find the Area and Perimeter of a rectangle figure.
Objective 1: Students will go to the following websites to learn further about area and perimeter. www.learnzillion.com Quick Codes- 2535- area, 3047- perimeter http://www.mathplayground.com/area_perimeter.html Spivey- Unit/Lesson Plan http://www.beaconlearningcenter.com/WebLessons/AdamAnt/page4.htm When students finish, they will go to www.kahoot.it, type in classroom code, and type in what they learned about area and perimeter to share with the class. Their responses will be display on the SMARTBoard in the classroom and will be used as a quick discussion before moving on.
Objective 2: Students will log on to www.ixl.com and practice using the formula for area and perimeter. Their goal is to score 80% or above, they will continue to work until they reach that goal or time has ran out. http://www.ixl.com/math/grade-4/perimeter http://www.ixl.com/math/grade-4/area-of-squares-and-rectangles
Conclusion: How is perimeter different from area? Answer question as closure and have a student write it on and index card and post the answer on the math wall in the classroom?
Evaluation/Assessment Objective 1: Exit ticket on www.kahoot.it. Students will type in new code to complete Exit Ticket question. This assessment will be used to assess class on lesson for the day and will drive instructions for Day 2.
Lesson 2
Anticipatory Set: Entry Ticket- Students will go to www.kahoot.it and answer questions using laptops and classroom code. Can two rectangles with the same perimeter have the same area? Can two figures with the same area have the same perimeter? (both yes or no questions)
Objective 1: Read Spaghetti and Meatballs For All: A Mathematical Story by Marilyn Burns. While reading students will share laptops and work in groups of three and create the tables using the National Library of Virtual Manipulatives website using the pattern blocks. http://nlvm.usu.edu/en/nav/topic_t_2.html Students will share the table arrangements and how much seating is available while reading the story.
Objective 2: Students will be given QR codes on a small piece of paper. They will work in their groups with iPods and solve the word problem embedded in the QR Code. Students will share their responses in groups using SMARTBoard.
Spivey- Unit/Lesson Plan Will drew rectangle A. The rectangles area is 32 square centimeters and its length is 4 centimeters more than its width. Label the rectangle to tell its length and width. Sarah drew a square that has the same perimeter as Wills rectangle. Identify the perimeter of Sarahs figure. Then, tell the length of each of its sides.
Closure: Complete Exit Ticket using www.kahoot.it. The area of the rectangle is 420 square centimeters. What is the perimeter, in centimeters of the rectangle? (answers will vary)
Evaluation/Assessment Students will work on www.ixl.com, working on comparing area and perimeter lesson. Goal is to get 80% or above. http://www.ixl.com/math/grade-4/compare-area-and-perimeter-of-two-figures
Lesson 3- Work Stations
Anticipatory Set: Students will use laptops and answer Entry Ticket on www.kahoot.com to begin lesson. Draw three different rectangles that each have an area of 24 square units. Label your drawings to show the length and width of each rectangle. Students will be asked to share responses by drawing on the SMARTBoard for the class.
Objective 1: Students will work in stations for differentiation. The groups will be multi-level groups, with the hope that students will learn from their peers. The teacher will circulate to ensure that all students are engaged and focused. Also to monitor if students are not completing tasks. All stations will have QR codes that they will scan with iPods for verbal directions Each station will have directions on paper. Students will work in groups of 3. The links are next to each stations name below with the worksheets that will be at each station.
