Lesson 1- Area of Circles, Semicircles, Triangles, Trapezoids and Parallelograms
Lesson Objective: Students will use formulas to solve for the area of a variety of 2D figures.
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.
Technology Resources:
● Canvas
● YouTube
● Quizlet
● Jeopardy
● Google Docs (for submission)
Lesson:
Introduction Video- First, students will begin by watching the music video. This video presents
area formulas that students have previously learned within the 6th grade standards. This lesson
should be a review for students. After the video, students will get onto their quizlet account (or
create one) and make a card set for the following formulas: area of a circle, semicircle, triangle,
parallelogram, and trapezoid. This will be used throughout the year to help students remember
these formulas beyond this unit.
Extra Notes-In case the introduction video was not enough, there are notes and a video to allow
students to see how to use the formulas to solve for the area of different shapes.
Jeopardy- Students should complete three questions from each category. Instead of writing a
problem number, they will write the category and the points amount for that question. They
should either type their work (formula, work, and answer) in a google doc with the equation
editor or write their work on a notebook and then take an image and upload your work. If they
choose to take an image, the picture and the handwriting must be clear enough that I can read
it. If it is not clear enough, the student will be asked to redo it.
Lesson Objective: Students will be able to find the area of composite figures.
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.
Technology Resources:
● Canvas
● EdPuzzle
● IXL
● Google Slides
● ConnectED (online workbook)
Lesson:
Introduction- Students will watch the video through EdPuzzle and answer all questions
throughout the video as they go. They are able to pause the video and reflect, rewatch or take a
break to email me questions.
Practice- Once this is done, students will complete the IXL problems. Students should write all
work on a paper in order to check their work if they answer a question incorrectly. IF they find
that they completed the problem incorrectly, they should fix the problem with a different colored
pen, pencil or other marking tool. This allows them (and me) to see the mistake they made.
Small Group Assignment- As a group of three, students will then open the given Google Slides
presentation and create a step by step guide for solving the problem. They will do this by typing
in an explanation as well as inserting pictures of the algebraic work that is being described (or
typing in their work). Each slide should show how to do one step. There needs to be a minimum
of four slides for each problem.
Individual Practice- Complete the given problems through the ConnectEd website for the
workbook. There are 10 problems and students will submit their work through canvas.
Lesson 3- Surface Area of Prisms
Lesson Objective: Students will be able to solve for the surface area of a rectangular and
triangular prism.
Technology Resources:
● Canvas
● KidBlog
● YouTube (my video)
● Discussion Board
● ConnectED (online workbook)
● Google Sheets
● Google Slides
Lesson:
Introduction Blog Post: Students will be asked to create a post that answers 1) What they think
surface area means and 2) How they believe they can find surface area of any given three
dimensional figure.
Surface Area Discussion: After the blog post, students will watch a short video clip of me
explaining what surface area is and introducing nets. Once they have watched the video,
students will be asked to go to the discussion group and create a post. This one will ask
students to find an image of a 3D figure online and post the image and how to find the surface
area. The group should make sure everyone is picking a different image before moving on to
writing their posts. Group members then need to comment on two others posts explaining
whether they believe their group members posts is correct or incorrect. Each post should have
two (and only two) comments on them so each member's post is reviewed twice.
Extra Practice: Complete #1-5 on page 669 through the ConnectEd website for the workbook.
Make sure all work is shown as that will be submitted. Before submitting, students should use
the google sheet in order to check their answers. This sheet has conditional formatting that will
turn the cell green if the answer is correct. This gives students immediate feedback while
allowing them to try to find the error on their own.
Real Life Surface Areas- Students will go to the GeoGebra worksheets. Here the students will
take a closer look at the nets of different 3D figures in order to decide what shapes they need to
find the area of in order to find the surface area by adding the areas of all faces. Once students
feel confident about their ability to find the surface area, students will be asked to find the
surface area of real life objects. They will present this information through a Google Slides
presentation. Students will need to find three prisms (two rectangular and one triangular) and
take pictures of them to put within their presentation. Each slide should be a different prism.
Within each slide, students will be asked to create a net of the figure in Google Drawings as well
as find the correct surface area. This assignment will be peer reviewed after being submitted.
Lesson 4- Surface Area of Pyramids
Lesson Objective: Students will be able to show how to find the surface area of a rectangular
and triangular pyramid.
Technology Resources:
● Canvas
● Google Forms
● EdPuzzle
● KidsBlog
● ConnectEd
Lesson:
Warm UP: This warm up will ask them to find the surface area of a pyramid. Students need to
use what they already learned in lesson 3 about surface area and apply that knowledge to a
pyramid. There answer should not only include their number answer (with label), but also work
to demonstrate how they found this answer.
Introduction Video and Blog: Students will work through the EdPuzzle videos that talk about how
you can find the area one of the lateral faces and then multiply it by the amount of lateral faces
and the other how you can multiply the slant height by the perimeter of the base. Then, the
student is asked if they can use both of these methods if the pyramid has a triangular base
rather than a square base. Students must show their work on a separate piece of paper and
submit that to the canvas. Then, students will go to their online blog in order to write about what
they discovered in this lesson. There should be two paragraphs. The first will state whether both
methods worked when they tried them on the triangular pyramid. The second paragraph should
tell which method the students prefers to use and why.
Independent Practice: Complete the given problems through the ConnectEd website for the
workbook. Work must be shown on a piece of paper or typed in a document using the equation
editor and then submitted through canvas.
Lesson 5- Surface area of Composite Figures
Lesson Objective: Students will be able to demonstrate how to find the surface area of given
three dimensional composite figures.
Technology Resources:
● Canvas
● YouTube (my video)
● Google Slides
● Google Forms
● Items needed for students to create their own video
Plan:
Introduction: The students begin by watching a video that goes through a few examples of how
to find the surface area of three dimensional composite figures. If students need more
examples, they are welcome to email the teacher for more.
Card Sort: Students will work in Google Slides to complete a card sort. There are five cards with
images of 3D composite figures and five cards with answers. They need to pair up the image
with the correct answer (one pair per slide). Then, the student will need to add in work to show
how they found the answer for each.
Exit Slip: The exit slip asks general questions that students must answer in sentence form.
Sometimes students that can perform well algebraically have a difficult time explaining what is
going on in a math class. This is asking students to work on that skill.
Video Assessment: Students will create a visual demonstration with an audio narration. The
video must be all one clip, but you can easily put smaller clips together using programs such as
movie maker. The video must include the following:
● Definition of surface area
● Formulas learned in lesson 1
● Demonstration of formulas learned in lesson 1
● SA of a Prism
● SA of a Pyramid
● SA of a Composite Figure
After submitting, you will need to peer review one other student's work. This will be
automatically assigned to you.
