Assessment of Prior
Knowledge

QUESTIONS ANSWERED:

Time
0 min

What is perimeter and how do we calculate it?


What is area and how do we calculate it?
When students arrive to class they will have to complete questions in
relation to area and perimeter in their seating groups. There will be four
shapes that students have to solve, one for each group.
Students will have to complete a timed objective before the timer runs
out! Their mission, which they will have to accept, is to calculate the
area and perimeter of the shape that is prescribed to their group. This
also acts as a way to assess prior knowledge.
WRITE GROUP NAMES ON CHART PAPER
http://www.online-stopwatch.com/ This will be used as visual showing
that students only have 8 minutes to complete the task that has been
assigned for them.
Group 1: This group will have to calculate the area and perimeter of a
rectangle with a 4 unit length and a 3 unit width. P=14 & A=12
Group 2: This group will be calculating the perimeter and area of a
rectangle with the length of 12 units and a width of 1 unit. P=26 & A=12
Group 3: This group will be calculating the perimeter and area of a
rectangle with the length 8 units and a width of 1 unit. P=18 & A=8
Group 4: This group will be calculating the perimeter and area of a
rectangle with the length 4 units and a width of 2 units. P=12 & A=8

REMEMBER TO ASK HOW STUDENTS GOT THE ANSWERS

Transition to Body

EACH GROUP WILL NOMINATE ONE SPEAKER TO SHARE THEIR


RESULTS WITH THE CLASS.
WHAT DOES GROUPS 1 & 2 NOTICE ABOUT THEIR SHAPES?
WHAT DOES GROUP 3 & 4 NOTICE ABOUT THEIR SHAPES?

1.

Students will respect the instructor when they are explaining


instruction for the lesson.
2. Students will respect each other.
3. If a students are having trouble they are asked first to ask their
partner for help. If they are still having trouble they then can ask
their instructor for help.
4. Student are to keep trying. Quitting is not an option; ask for
assistance if you need it.
The lesson will proceed as follows (Write overview of class on white
board prior to beginning of the lesson)
First, students will have to quickly find their seats and begin
calculating area and perimeter of their shapes.
Second, students will need to create their own rectangles using
personal white boards and areas given to them by me.
Third, students will create multiple rectangles with the same
area different perimeter with manipulatives.
Fourth, students in their groups will complete a final
assessment activity that requires them to create plans for the
most effective rectangle in terms of area vs perimeter and its
relation to cost effectiveness.
Alright grade 5s now that you have shown me how to calculate area
and perimeter, and you are all experts, we will be moving on to discuss
how to make shapes with the same area but a different perimeter! We
have a lot to get through today, and I know we can do it! I really need
you guys to work hard and have fun!

Personal White Boards:


QUESTIONS ANSWERED
How are all the rectangles you made the same?
How are all the rectangles you made different?
Here students will begin to use personal white boards to create their
own rectangles with area that has been already been determined by
me.
Example 1: How man rectangles (use your little squares when drawing)
can be created with an area of 4?
Explain to students that they can only use 4 blocks to create
their rectangles
Students will then be asked to show the rectangles they made
on their whiteboards using the cue ready, set, reveal!
Ask: What do you notice about the rectangles everyone has
made? (Prompt for different shapes of rectangles)
Acknowledge that there is more than on way the rectangle can

Learning Activity #2

L: 10 & W: 1
L: 5 & W: 2

Students are expected to be able to construct rectangles with


same areas and different perimeters by the end of the first
learning activity.
I will also be observing if students are able to perform this task
individually, or if they are struggling and require extra
assistance from peer (these students will be the first I go see
during the next learning activity).
Manipulatives:

I will have two helpers hand out pre-made bags of


manipulatives (ones squares).
Explain that each student (individually) will use his or her bags
(36 ones squares) to create a rectangle with a specific area.
Once students have made their first rectangle, they will
calculate the perimeter.
I will be choosing students, using Popsicle sticks, to share their
answers with the class and record their answers on the
whiteboard.
Students will be asked to leave the shape they made on their
desks (move it to the side) and use new ones squares to
construct the next rectangle. This way they will be able to see
what same area different perimeter looks like, and that we can
make rectangles in many different way
I will repeat these steps, doing 2 more examples choosing
students and recording answers in the same way

Learning Activity #3

Utilizing classroom management by having student helpers


assist in handing out the pre-made bags of manipulatives.
Observe the classroom and aid students who show signs of
misunderstanding.
Assist student who require further instruction or guidance.
Differentiate for students if they show struggle by partnering
them up with an elbow partner that shows strength in this
learning activity.
Construction Project: ASSESSMENT ACTIVITY
QUESTIONS ANSWERED:
How can we create rectangles demonstrating same area, different
perimeter?
Here, students in their seating groups will have to have to come up with
the best possible size rectangle that would be used in construction of a
new hockey arena. However, there is a catch. The procedure is as
follows

First, students will be asked to name their construction


company. Groups will be the seating arrangements that they
already have to save time. THIS WILL ONLY BE A MINUTE.
WRITE YOUR REAL NAMES ON THE SHEET AS WELL.
Second, the students will receive the following question.

QUESTION: The Town of Taber has just recently decided to construct a


new hockey arena. The Town has chosen four final companies who
could build the complex however, there are some requirements that the
companies must follow. YOU CAN USE CALCULATORS. TEAM WORK IS
KEY!
2

First, the complex must have an area that is 1600 m . (REMEMBER THAT
IS THE SPACE INSIDE). If the number seems too big, remember you can
think of what numbers X what numbers = 16. Remember to add zeros
later!
Second, each meter of the perimeter costs $200 (per meter). So, a
building with a smaller perimeter would be cheaper. (PERIMETER IS THE
DISTANCE AROUND THE SHAPE).
Calculate the cost of the building once you have found out the
LENGTH, WIDTH and PERIMETER.
ONLY THE CHEAPEST PLANS WILL BE CHOSEN FOR THE JOB AND THE
PRIZE!!
PLEASE SHOW YOUR WORK IN GROUPS!!! REMEMBER THAT THESE
ARE PLANS!! DRAW SHAPES, MATH STEPS AND PROCESSES, ANYTHING
THAT HELPED YOU SOLVE THE PROBLEM.
For this problem there are three possible answers that are as follows

20 min

BEST POSSIBLE ANSWER IS NUMBER 1

A= 1600 m
L= 40 m
W= 40 m
P= 160m X $200
C= $ 32,000
2
A= 1600 m
L= 80 m
W= 20 m
P= 200 m X $200
C= $40,000
2
A= 1600 m
L= 160 m
W= 10 m
P= 340 m X $200
C= $68,000

Once students have completed what they are supposed to do they will
pick a group representative to from each group to explain what they
have found.

What did we learn today class?

Feedback From
Students:

Finally, students will do a gallery walk of the other projects to


see what other students did to allow them to see other ideas.
I will be walking around the class room monitoring each of the
groups progress. If there is some issues I will provided help
(little) but the students must work together to solve the
problem. This is more for discovery learning.
Once the project has been completed I will look at the work
that was compiled on the sheet to get a sense of how the
students managed to come up this their answers.
When the representative from each group speaks this allows
them to explain in their own words what they know and reenforces the learning.
Finally, the groups will walk around and see what the other
students did to get their answers.
Closure

You can have the same area within the shape but have a
different perimeter.
The closer the shape is close to a square (having equal sides),
the area inside will be the same but it will have the less
perimeter. This is great for buildings/ cost.
REMEMBER TO WRITE DOWN TWO THINGS THAT YOU LIKE
ABOUT THE OTHER PROJECTS AND ONE THING THE COULD
CHANGE. REMEMEBR TO INCLUDE THE TEAM NAME YOU ARE
TALKING AOUT ABOUT AT THE TOP OF THE STICKY.

Feedback To Students

This will be provided from the ability to complete the learning activities
and the assessment problem presented in class. Also, the work
displayed on the big sheets will show how students got their answers.
Feedback will be given verbally through the lesson letting students
know what they are doing right and what they have to work on. Give
students timely and efficient feedback on their graph sheets.

Transition To Next
Lesson

Alright class remember this lesson for next week because we will
flipping the lesson around a little bit where we have same perimeter
different area.
