PLANNING FOR THE LESSON

Key Content Standard(s):

7.G.6. Solve real-world mathematical problems involving area, volume, and surface area of two-
and three-dimensional objects compose of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right
prims.
MP.5. Use appropriate tools strategically

Learning Objective (Refer to Depth of Knowledge handout for cognitive verbs to include in
your objective):

Cognitive Task:
Students, in differentiated groups , will complete a worksheet on finding the surface are of
complex three-dimensional prisms, recalling and applying their prior understanding of
surface area of basic prisms.

Understanding or Skill to be Enhanced:

Students will be enhancing their understanding of surface area of prisms with their
groups by completing differentiated worksheets.

Assessment:
Warm Up Students will complete a quick warm up at the beginning of class to refresh their
memory of surface area of basic prisms.
Formative Assessment Teacher will walk around and monitor students while they complete a
worksheet on finding the surface area complex prims
*Differentiated Worksheet Higher performing students will be provided with additional
differentiated worksheets to deepen and further their understanding of the concept.
Exit Task Students will be required to find the surface area of a complex prism individually and
provide a written response explaining their understanding and the steps they took to complete
the task.

Academic Language Demand and Support:

Speaking, Listening, and Writing

Resources/Materials:
Warm Up Handout
Surface Area of Complex Prims Worksheet(s) Includes differentiation based off academic level.
Exit Task Handout
Step-by-step instructions with examples for ELLs

INSTRUCTIONAL SEQUENCE
Introduction (total time: 10 minutes)
- Teacher goes over answers from classwork completed in class the day before on surface area.
 THE LESSON PLANNER
- Classroom discussion reviewing understanding of surface area of basic prisms. Review
examples on complex prisms that were done in class the day before. Provide an example on the
board and have students work through it as a class.

Body of the Lesson (total time: 30 minutes)

- Teacher assigns students to groups and
- Teacher assigns them to complete worksheet provided to them.
*Teacher will provide additional differentiated worksheets to specific students, based on
their performance from the prior lesson, as they complete what is assigned to whole class.
These additional worksheets provide more challenging questions to push students
thought processes and understanding of this geometrical concept.
*Walk around and monitor students discussion and progress. Teacher will provide them
with guiding questions to check for understanding.
*Provide support to ELLs and lower-performing students
- Teacher will go over answers with students as a class. Teacher will pose questions, asking
students about how they went about solving these questions and check for understanding and
use of key vocabulary.

Closure (total time: 7 minutes)

- Provide students with exit task and ask them to complete individually and turn into trays.
