The students will also be able to solve higher level word problems involving finding the volume of a prism, pyramid, and cylinder. TEKS/Standards: (9) Measurement. The student solves application problems involving estimation and measurement. The student is expected to: (C) estimate measurements and solve application problems involving volume of prisms (rectangular and triangular) and cylinders. Homework: The homework is attached below. MATERIALS Students: Pencil/pen and their homework form last class and binders Teacher: Everything is already in the classroom except for enough copies of the class work (a packet) and homework. The teacher also must have the PowerPoint on their laptop. Activity & Time Student Objectives & Procedures: What Students Do Teacher Procedures: What Teacher Does I. WARM-UP/ Anticipatory Set title: Warm-up Review Questions *pedagogical purpose: Checking for understanding/Informal Assessment Objective(s): The students will be able to explain what B represents and the steps for finding the volume of a prism, pyramid, and cylinder. Teacher Procedures *The teacher will greet the students as they walk in
is the base? What is the formula for the area of the base? Transition The students will listen quietly and follow the teacher’s instructions listed on the The teacher will instruct the students to work individually on the second page of the packet for 10 minutes and then set a timer for ten minutes. 3rd Activity title: Working on the Second page of the Worksheet Labeled “Class work” *pedagogical purpose: Independent Learning/Cooperative Learning Materials: Enough copies of work packet (page two) 13 min Objective(s): The students will be able to individually as well as in groups of four find the volume of a triangular prism given word problems. Student Procedures: The students will listen quietly to the teacher as he/she gives instructions. The students will first begin working on the second page of the packet (Volume of Rectangular Prism Problems) individually for 8 minutes. They will then work with their partner for the remaining five minutes to compare and discuss answers. They will raise their hand and wait to be addressed by the teacher if they have a question, comment, or concern. Teacher Procedures The teacher will instruct the students to work on the second page of the packet individually for ten minutes. The teacher will set an 8 minute timer for this activity. Once the timer goes off, the teacher will instruct the students to compare and discuss their answers with their partner for five minutes. The teacher will walk around the classroom throughout this timer, helping students when needed.
Key ?’s: During individual timer: What does B represent? What is the base? How do you measure height? During partner time: How can you defend your answer to your partner? Transition The students will listen quietly to the teacher. The teacher will draw a name from the box of popsicle sticks and instruct the person dawn and his/her to stand up and move to the projector to present and defend their answer for the first problem. 4th Activity title: Discussing Steps for Solving the Problems on the second page of the “Class work” *pedagogical purpose: Checking for Understanding/Explanation/Informal Assessment Materials: Enough copies of class work packet (page two) Objective(s): The students will be able to find the volume of a triangular prism given word problems and be able to explain and defend their answer. Student Procedures: The group of four called on to present will explain and defend their answer to the first problem. Once they have finished and the teacher has instructed to do Teacher Procedures The teacher will instruct the students to be quiet and listen to the group of students presenting. The teacher will direct the discussion and ask “Key ?’s” throughout. Once the class has come to an agreement on
