Introduction Estimated Time: 15 minutes
Students will enter the classroom and they will be directed to go to their seats. I will start off
the class with a question, that will get everyone awake. I will ask the whole class to answer
“What their favorite part about today was”? After we have a small class discussion, I will ask
the students to get out a piece of paper and name it “Area and perimeter.” I am going to
have them write down the formula for the area of rectangle and the formula for perimeter of
a rectangle. This will allow them to retain the information that we learned last week. Then I
will begin to explain what we are doing today and the information they need to know for
each station. I will have a list of each group on the board so they know where they are
heading first.

Closure Estimated Time: 15
Once everyone has finished their last station, students will be directed to return to their seats
and the remainder of class will be dedicated to students completing the short survey. Each
student will need to get their assigned laptop, from the laptop cart. The short survey will
consist of comprehension questions that will allow me to take in the feedback from the
students and see if anybody is still struggling. Students will be able to express any other
questions or struggles they have at the end of the survey and I can address them next class.
While students complete the survey, I will hand out their graded assignments from last week.
