Concept Map Area and Volume Extension of Learning Lesson Plan 6th Grade Mathematics Title/Information Area and

and Volume Unit Concept Map Common Core Standards CCGPS.M.6.G.1 - Find the area of right triangles, other triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by composing into rectangles or decomposing into triangles and other shapes; apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. CCGPS.M.6.G.2 - Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with fractional edge lengths by packing it with unit cubes of the appropriate unit fraction edge lengths, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths of the prism. Apply the formulas V = l w h and V = b h to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with fractional edge lengths in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. CCGPS.M.6.G.4 - Represent three-dimensional figures using nets made up of rectangles and triangles, and use the nets to find the surface area of these figures. Apply these techniques in the context of solving real-world and mathematical problems. Essential Question What strategies, properties of shapes, and formulas must I know in order to find the area, surface area, and volume of figures? Learning Objective The student will be able to connect concepts, identify critical foundational information, and design a concept map given a specific rubric while omitting no more than three of the required items. Materials Technology (i.e. computer lab, iPads, laptops, etc) Any reference materials Internet connection Learning Strategies Engage Students will be engaged by getting to use technology. Elicit Students will be challenged to recall information from the area and volume unit. Brainstorming a list can be helpful. Explore Students will explore their own learning by determining what is a good and reputable resource to include on their concept maps. Explain Students will be challenged to explain in detail the important ideas and concepts about area and volume. Elaborate Students will be expected to elaborate on the foundational knowledge in order to prove that they have a more in-depth understanding of the content. Evaluate Students will be able to self-evaluate their work by comparing it to the rubric. Extend Students will be challenged to extend their knowledge of the topics in order to effectively concept them through the concept map. DOK Level Level 4 Students are designing, connecting, applying concepts, and creating
