Geometry Lesson Plan

This 7th grade geometry lesson plan aims to teach students how to find the area of composite shapes over 45 minutes. Students will first individually calculate the area of a shape of their choosing. Then in groups, they will combine cut-out shapes to form a larger composite shape and calculate its total area. The teacher will review area formulas for common shapes. Students will take notes on area formulas in their notebooks. Pairs of students will then work on a worksheet practicing calculating areas. Finally, students will individually solve an area problem to evaluate their understanding.

5E Lesson Plan

Teacher: Ms. Torres

Date: September 18, 2018


Subject area / course / grade level: Geometry 7th grade
Duration: 45 Minutes
Materials:
Manila Folder Cut-outs of different shapes, measuring tape, calculators, pencil, notebook, construction
paper.
TEKS/SEs: 9c: Determine the area of composite figures containing combinations of rectangles, squares,
parallelograms, trapezoids, triangles, semicircles, and quarter circles.

Lesson objective(s): To find the area of different geometric shapes, then transitioning to finding the area of
composite shapes.
Differentiation strategies to meet diverse learner needs: Visual, auditory and kinesthetic teaching; for all
learning styles.
ENGAGEMENT 3 minutes Posters with formulas will be up for students to see.
Students will choose a geometric shape, with their own dimensions and they will find the area of their
shape, this will be done in the student notebook.
EXPLORATION (10 minutes)
In their group table, students will be given 5 different shapes (made out of manila folders) of different sizes
(sizes are in feet), and as a group they will have to create a geometric shape with all of those shapes, and
together they will find the total area of their creation, by measuring tape.

EXPLANATION 10 Minutes
Teacher will remind students how to find the area of geometric shapes such as a circle, semi-circle, triangle,
rectangle, square, and trapezoid. As teacher explains and gives the formulas to finding the area of these
shapes, students will write in a construction paper (that will be a tri-fold) the area of each shape, and an
example, and glue their tri-fold on their daily notebook.

ELABORATION 15 Minutes
Students will work as a pair (teacher & student role) to finish their own, separate worksheet.

EVALUATION 5 Minutes
Students will work individually to find the area of a figure, outside a figure.
