1_____Day 2 Lesson________
Today’s Outcome/Essential Question(s): How can I find volume of a cylinder?
Material(s): pencil, paper, calculator, Big ideas math book
Objective:
Students will be able to…
CONNECT to previous work
TEACH
Teaching point/ question and
what teacher will say, do,
model
ACTIVE ENGAGEMENT
Student practice of teaching
point with teacher support
(e.g. teacher asks guiding
questions, students turn/talk or
stop/jot, teacher charts
responses)
INDEPENDENT PRACTICE
Send students off to
independent work (teacher
confers and/or works with
small guided groups)
CLOSING/SHARE
Review teaching point to
reinforce learning and assess
understanding
___8.
When asked, students will apply the area of a circle, to find the volume of a cylinder, 4 out of 5
times correctly.
Yesterday we …..recalled our previous learning of finding the area of a circle. We took a pre-test
on finding area of a circle. Students Practiced those skills and talked about how we will scaffold
that knowledge to finding the volume of a cylinder. Students worked in RPJ to discover the formula
for volume of a cylinder by layering coins.
Today we’re going to learn/figure out:
• How do we use area of a circle to find the volume of a cylinder?
• Notes on the formula of volume of a cylinder
• Practice problems within the notetaking
• What do we notice about the formula of Volume of cylinder?
• How are the two related?
• I will be using magformers to show the students 2D shapes vs. 3D shapes.
• I will have two students build those for me
• Practice problems will be done, some for finding the radius and some for finding the
volume.
• Students will turn/talk with their partner on their answers (mathematical arguments)
• I will listen to the students as they converse using mathematical vocabulary keeping them
on track with the lesson
• The magformers will be out for students to build and explore as they work their way
through the lesson problems
• Student work will be spent mostly in group time today
• Independent work done at home on Homework practice
• Students will be allowed to play with the magformers to manipulate their thoughts and
questions of circle to cylinder
• Student having difficulty with pi or cylinder volume will practice daily 10 on IXL.com
• Come back as a class and review the formula area of a circle, volume of a cylinder.
• Class answers questions as I call on them about different pieces of the two formulas
• Don't forget: square the radius, write out formulas, substitute in formulas then solve.
• Students will move onto Volume of cone tomorrow
• The following day they will be assessed on using the area of a circle to find the volume of
a cylinder and a cone
• Hmwk practice for all Pg 338 # 1-24 due following day
