Lesson+Plan

__LESSON ACTIVITIES__ (COMPLETE 1-8) STEP 1. Anticipatory Set: (Motivation/Assessment of Prior Knowledge) How do we find area and do you think we can find volume? ( List the opinion on the board and give out positive encouragement for making an attempt at figuring it out.)

STEP 2. Overview of learning outcomes to pupils: By the end of the day, each of you will be able to find the volume of ten standard shapes.

STEP 3. Input of information: Mini lecture on volume and using drawings on the white board to show visually.

STEP 4. Modeling/Examples: As a class solve for the volume of a square as an example.

STEP 5. Checking for Understanding: answer any questions that students might have after the first example.

STEP 6. Guided Practice: Distribute the worksheets to the class. Students will try to work out the volume for a new shape based on the information given from the mini lecture. After that they will get in their groups to discuss what they each got and how they got their answer. Then the groups will work on one model together and explain their thought process using Toondoo and present it to the class.

STEP 7. Independent Practice: (Assignment may be part of closure - Step 8) Have the students take home the worksheet from class and have them present their answers in class the next day.

STEP 8. Closure/ “Opensure”: talk about a certain problem the class may have struggled with in class to be sure they have complete clarity on it.
