Core Curriculum Standards and/or NYS Standards and Performance Indicators ~~~~~~~~ (For Literacybased lesson, can use NCTE/IRA Standards for the English Language Arts) Lesson Objectives

Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, volume.
7.G.6. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume and surface area of two- and three dimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms.

(Use numbers for clarity)

1. The student will be able to identify the different 3 dimensional figures such as prisms, cylinders, pyramid, cones and spheres. 2. The students will be able to calculate the area of a rectangle, as well as the circumference and area of a circle and use this information to derive the formula for the surface area of a cylinder. --------------------3. The students will be able to properly use the surface area formula with respect to a cylinder.

4. The student will be able to solve real world examples which require surface area. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------(Use numbers for clarity) Evidence that students have achieved objective(s): 1. Given pictures of 3 dimensional figures, the students will be able to identify what they are. 2. Given a picture with the length and width of a rectangle, the students will be able to calculate the area. 3. Given a picture of a circle with the radius of a circle, the students will be able to calculate the circumference and area of it. 4. Given a series of cylinders, the students will be able to use the formula they derived to calculate their surface area.

__________________________________________ (Use numbers for clarity) The teacher will 1. By using the bell wringer the students will be introduced to surface area and present a real world problem, which they will be able to solve at the end of the lesson. The teacher will begin the lesson by reviewing the area of a rectangle and the area and circumference of a circle.

2. The teacher will then hand out paper cylinders to the students and have the students work in groups to break it 1. 1. down into its 2 dimensional components. Using string and a ruler the students will measure the circumference of the Specific the circle, along with the length and width of the rectangle. instructiona The students should figure out that the length of the l rectangle is the same as the circumference of the circle. method(s); 3. With the assistant of the teacher the students will 2. 2. attempt to use this information to derive a formula for surface area. Then using this formula calculate the surface Modeling; area of the cylinder. 3. 3. 4. To check for understanding the teacher will put several Guided problems, dealing with surface area, on the board and have practice; students come up to solve them. 4. 4. 5. The teacher will then give the students a worksheet that will be started in class and completed at home that Check for presents problems for them to practice finding the surface understand area of a cylinder. Which will be reviewed in the next class.
