FRIT 8530: UbD Lesson Plan

Title of Unit

Geometry

Grade Level

Standard: M5M4: Students will understand and compute the volume of a simple geometric solid. a. Understand a cubic unit (u3) is represented by a cube in which each edge has the length of 1 unit. b. Identify the units used in computing volume as cubic centimeters (cm3), cubic meters (m3), cubic inches (in3), cubic feet (ft3), and cubic yards (yd3). c. Derive the formula for finding the volume of a cube and a rectangular prism using manipulatives. d. Compute the volume of a cube and a rectangular prism using formulae. e. Estimate the volume of a simple geometric solid. f. Understand the similarities and differences between volume and capacity. M5G1: Students will understand congruence of geometric figures and the correspondence of their vertices, sides, and angles. M5G2: Students will understand the relationship of the circumference of a circle to its diameter is pi. Understandings:
-Students will correctly explain a cubic unit and demonstrate its representation by a cube in which each edge has the length of 1 unit. -Students will interpret units used in computing volume by revealing cubic centimeters (cm3), cubic meters (m3), cubic inches (in3), cubic feet (ft3), and cubic yards (yd3) and relating them to personal experiences such as yard dimensions and classroom area. -Students will derive the formula for finding the volume of a cube and a rectangular prism using manipulations such as kleenex boxes, rubix cubes, and classroom ceiling tiles. -Students will gain perspective of the volume of a cube and a rectangular prism using formulae by relating cubes and rectangular prisms to daily sightings such as street signs and household objects. -Students will empathize by estimating the volume of a simple geometric solid filled with various candies. Students will be intrigued by estimating these volumes and may find it implausible that such a small volume may hold so many small candies. -Students will understand the similarities and differences between volume and capacity by relating these math terms to a personal short story. Students will demonstrate their habits of the mind and interpret them to a unique story.

Stage 3: Plan Learning Experiences

Week 1 Day 1 Show Brain Pop Video- Similar Figures to hook students into congruency and geometric figures. H Introduce EQ: How do you determine the congruency of geometric figures? W Introduce terms congruent, corresponding sides, angles, and vertices E Introduce how to determine if geometric figures are congruent by comparing corresponding angles, sides, and vertices E Demonstrate how to use the polygon or shapes name to find the corresponding or congruent side or angle. Ex: Triangle ABC and Triangle XYZ are congruent. Which angle is congruent to angle A? E Draw geometric figures: compare angles, sides, and vertices E Use examples to teach congruency of geometric figures. Allow the students to complete the problems and then go over them aloud. R, E-2 Choose several different students to help solve the problem aloud. T Give the students the problem and then using a timer, give them 2 or 3

FRIT 8530: UbD Lesson Plan minutes to complete it. O Day 2 3-2-1: draw three shapes that are congruent. Draw two different shapes that are congruent. Write one definition of congruency. H Review EQ: How do you determine the congruency of geometric figures? W Review terms congruent, corresponding sides, angles and vertices and introduce how to determine if geometric figures are congruent by comparing corresponding angles, sides, and vertices E Have students come up to the board and draw geometric figures and compare angles, sides, and vertices R, E-2 Use examples to teach congruency of geometric figures. Allow the students to complete the problems and then go over them aloud. R, E-2 Choose several different students to help solve the problem aloud. T Give the students the problem and then using a timer, give them 2 or 3 minutes to complete it. O Day 3 Show www.mathopenref.com/radius.html to students and discuss together. H Introduce EQ: How do you determine the value of the radius and diameter? How do you identify a radius and a diameter? W Introduce terms circle, radius, and diameter by drawing circles and labeling the radius and diameter E Use interactive website http://www.coolmath.com./reference/circlesgeometry.html to explain more in depth circle, radius, and diameter E Partners- Using yarn and can goods or cylinder shaped objects; measure diameter of each. Use a ruler to measure the yarn for an exact or estimated measurement. R, E-2 Whole Group- After students determine the diameter of each circle or object; determine the value of the radius. E Draw a pizza on board and demonstrate how there are many radii and diameters in a circle. Allow several different students to come up and draw a radius and diameter. T Give all students a sticky note and time them for 2 minutes to draw a circle and label the radius and diameter. O Day 4 Show students Brain Pop Video- Pi and introduce Pi song to get students interested. H Introduce EQ: How do you find the circumference of a circle using 3.14 ? W Review terms radius and diameter and introduce terms formula, pi, circumference and the sign for pi. E Introduce ratio for circumference and diameter c/d. E

FRIT 8530: UbD Lesson Plan Partners/Groups- Using yarn and can goods, measure the circumference of each can and the diameter. R, E-2 Whole Group- Use formula to practice calculating circumference using the diameter. R, E-2 Use interactive website www.infoplease.com/math/knowledgebox to reinforce concept T

Day 5 Show Brain Pop Video- Measuring Circle and sing pi song. H Review EQ: How do you find the circumference of a circle using 3.14 ? W Review terms circumference, pi, diameter, radius, ratio, c/d E Use the formula and complete examples by calculating the circumference of given circle E Give each group a different problem to find the circumference. Time them for 5 minutes. After each group is done, they will come up to the board and explain how they found the circumference. R, E-2 Use interactive website www.infoplease.com/math/knowledgebox/player.html?movie=sfw41551 T Ticket Out the Door- Have students draw and label a circle. Include the following parts: radius, diameter, and center. Give the diameter a measurement and find the circumference using the formula. O Mid Unit Test: Compute volume of geometric figures, identify cubic units, explain similarities and differences between volume and capacity in their own terms, and determine congruency of geometric figures. Notes to the Instructor Use this area, if needed, to explain to the instructor how your planned activities above satisfy specific elements of the scoring rubric.
