Designed
by: Sally Hug, Hand Middle School
GRADE
LEVEL: 8th SUBJECT(S):
Math
CORE
CURRICULUM OBJECTIVE(S): Develop and
understanding of perimeter, area, and volume. (8GE6-1)
RESTATEMENT:
Students will find perimeter, area, and volume
of given objects.
OVERVIEW:
Students will find perimeter, area, and
volume of given objects that are provided by he
teacher.
FOCUS/
ESSENTIAL QUESTION(S): What methods and
procedures are used to find perimeter, area, and
volume?
TIME
FRAME: Two 45-50 minute periods - one period
for finding perimeter and area - one period for
finding volume
RESOURCES:
- Gateways to Algebra and Geometry (p.52, 61,
64, 150), for reference
- Rulers
- Paper/pencil
- Notebook paper
- Rubric
- Data sheet
- Magazine pictures or posters in room
- 3-D figures (cubes, prisms, pyramids)
ASSESSMENT:
Students will correctly find perimeter, area,
and volume of given objects with and without
concrete objects through data collecting.
INSTRUCTIONAL
ACTIVITIES:
ACTIVITY
ONE
*
Students will review the process for finding and
calculating perimeter and area of regular
shapes, squares and rectangles). The teacher
will provide students with rulers, data
gathering sheets, and concrete objects, that
will be used to measure.
*
Students could be placed with partners: one
person is "A" and the other is
"B". The "A's" measure and
get 10 items and "B's" measure 10
items. Partners will meet back and exchange
information found.
*
As partners will find perimeter and area
together. * Teacher should work through one
example first.
ACTIVITY
TWO
*
Students will review the process for finding and
calculating volume. The teacher will provide
students with rulers, data gathering sheets, and
concrete objects, that will be used to measure.
*
As partners, as above, students will measure 10
different objects and then return to seat to
find volume. Each partner will find 5 and
together the volume will be found.
*
Teacher should work through one example first.
