Thing 14: Powerful Presentations

1. I created a presentation about finding the area of rectangles. I used Google


Presentations. Using Google is convenient because I will have access to the
presentation wherever I go.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.C.7

Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.C.7.A

Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it, and show that
the area is the same as would be found by multiplying the side lengths.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.3.MD.C.7.C

Use tiling to show in a concrete case that the area of a rectangle with whole-number
side lengths a and b + c is the sum of a × b and a × c. Use area models to represent the
distributive property in mathematical reasoning.

2. I would use a presentation like this when teaching students concepts of area for
the first time. This presentation has a conceptual step-by-step progression (moving
from concrete to abstract) and opportunities for students to practice and check
their work. There are also pictures that help model concepts for students. This
presentation meets the substitution level of the SAMR scale. In the way that this
presentation was created, the technology does not offer a ‘new’ benefit, but this
presentation does replace a traditional format of a teacher drawing diagrams on a
whiteboard while teaching.
3. The rubric below will help me assess students’ understanding of area. I
will use the rubric after students view the presentation and have
guided practice.
