Teacher Lesson Preparation

 Teacher gathers supplies and place them on table
Teacher insures laptops and ipads are charged and ready for use.
Teacher get handouts

Activating Strategy (for example: Hook/Mini-Lesson/Warm-Up/Connection to Prior Learning)

1) Hook: Students will watch the video clip on different types of building in the world and answer the
following questions with their elbow partner?
a) What do you notice in the video?
b) What do you think the video has to do with geometry?
c) What would be a great design for a 21st century building ?

Instructional Sequence and Activities including use of technology

1. Day 1:

a. Notes: Students will take notes on volume and cavalieri principle using a foldable
b. Classwork period: They will design a 21st century building and compute its volume. Students will have
access to ipads, laptops, paper, crayons, colored pencils, glue, tape, scissors and markers.

2. Day 2:

a. Students present their 21st century buildings

b. Classwork period: Handout Students will choose 3 while teacher pick 1. Students will find students
that choose the same problem and link up and discuss their solutions to come up the correct solution
c. Classwork period: Help build a restaurant; students will read the letter and begin their computations

3. Day 3:

a. Students continue to work on the restaurant letter. Students will use the Decision Making Matrix to
determine which location is the best for the restaurant

4. Day 4:

a. Regroup students based on their final decision

b. Students will read their letters to the class

Assessment Strategies

Formative Assessment: Handout : You choose 3 and I pick 1
