How will we hook (Introduce this to) the students?

Show real life examples of area and perimeter in the form of a tile floor and cheese-its. Using the cheese-it example from the video, the teacher will explain in real-time what is expected for the activity. Walk around the room with the students and observe their thinking. She will ask them questions about their answers.

How will students self-evaluate and reflect their learning?

Allow the students to use the HoverCam and 55in display to show their shape and tell how they found the area and the perimeter. Allow the students to be creative in their creation.

Present their shapes to the class and under the HoverCam. This will allow them to reflect on the difference between area and perimeter. It will also provide an example for their digital portfolio. Students can create the shape as simply or elaborately as they wish. complete the desired steps of the teachers activities.

Lesson Plan
Mini-Lesson:
The teacher will introduce the concepts of area and perimeter with the use of a podcast video that was created by the teacher to show real life examples of area and perimeter in their daily lives. Show real life examples of area and perimeter in the form of a tile floor and cheese-its. Using the cheese-it example from the video, the teacher will explain in real-time what is expected for the activity. You will be given a small amount of Cheese-it crackers. Take the crackers and make a shape on your paper plate. Then, on the plate, find the area and the perimeter of the shape you have created. Write the area and the perimeter on the plate.

Independent/Group Work:
Students will follow the directions given above to create their shape and find the area and the perimeter. While the students are creating their shape, the teacher will walk around the room with the students and observe their thinking. She will ask them questions about their answers. After walking the room, the teacher will call groups of students to a small group time at the kidney table. She will ask them to discuss the following items: o What are some things they have seen in their own life that might have area and perimeter? Support your connection with an explanation of why you think that item will have area or perimeter. (Facet 1)

Ashley Friend- Area and Perimeter UbD Lesson Plan

o What does area mean? What does perimeter mean? What is it important that we be able to find area and perimeter? (Facet 2) o Look at this word problem about a real situation, how can we apply what we know about area and perimeter to solve this problem? (Facet 3) Word Problems: John wants to put fence around his new pumpkin patch. He knows that he has 4 rows of pumpkins that are 10 feet long. He also knows that each of the rows are space 2 feet apart from each other. How much fence does he need? John also has a patch of his front yard that needs sod. The portion of grass needed is 5 feet long and 3 feet wide. How much sod should he buy? o Look back to the first word problem about John. Did you think about the fact that the fence needs to go a little bit further around the rows than was mentioned? Did you think of the situation from Johns point of view when he would be planting the pumpkin seeds? (Facet 4) o Would it have been easier to understand that something was missing from the problem if you had planted a pumpkin patch before? Did you try to feel the way the character in the problem felt? (Facet 5) o Think back to the problems. Did your experiences as an individual shape the way that you thought about the problem? Did you have trouble solving the problem? If so, why? How did your views and experience change the way you thought about solveing the problem? (Facet 6)

Share and Discussion:


After the students have finished their assignment, the teacher will allow the students to use the HoverCam and 55in display to show their shape and tell how they found the area and the perimeter. After sharing, the students HoverCam video will be put on their Digital Portfolios online.
