5e Lesson Plan Fourth Grade

5E lesson plan Fourth Grade Dayton Duffy

Pre - assessment Students will be put into groups of 3-4. I will pass out a stack of cards with shapes on them. The shapes will either have their borders outlined or they will be filled in. The students must separate the shapes into 2 columns of either area or perimeter based on their previous knowledge of the subject. The students should already have previous knowledge of area and perimeter form second grade lessons. I will determine their level of knowledge by seeing how well they seperate the cards. 2

Engage Grade: 4th Length: 5 minutes Materials: whiteboard and dry erase marker Technology: none Essential questions:Do the questions make sense when you plug in the numbers? Do you have to use the formula exactly how it is or are there other ways to solve? TEKS:solve problems related to perimeter and area of rectangles where dimensions are whole numbers Kagan Strategy: Class will walk around and then pair up when I say so to discuss the question on the board: What is the difference between area and perimeter of a shape?Students will join together on the carpet. Introduce the topic and ask students if they remember the area and perimeter formulas learned in 2nd grade. Once equations are on the board, have students solve a few practice problems on their boards.

Explore Grade: 4th Length: 5 minutes Materials: math journals, pencil Technology: projector for google slides Essential questions:Why are we learning to find area and perimeter? How can it be used in the real world? TEKS:use models to determine the formulas for the perimeter of a rectangle (l + w + l + w or 2l + 2w), including the special form for perimeter of a square (4s) and the area of a rectangle (l x w); Students will listen to and record new math vocabulary in their journals. As a class, we will discuss why area and perimeter are important. Kagan Startegy- Have students get in groups of 4 and jot down ideas of what they rememebr from area and perimter after viewing voabulary 4

Explain Grade: 4th Length: 15 minutes Materials: worksheets Technology: none Essential questions:How did you find this width or length?How did you know this number belongs here on the shape? TEKS:solve problems related to perimeter and area of rectangles where dimensions are whole numbers. Students will solve problems with a group and share ideas on different ways to solve. 5

Elaborate Grade: 4th Length: 12 minutes Materials: Worksheets, dry erase markers Technology: none Essential questions: Now that we know how to solve, when would we have to use these formulas in real life? TEKS:solve problems related to perimeter and area of rectangles where dimensions are whole numbers. Students will use their gained knowledge to complete an individual assignment. 6

Evaluation Grade: 4th Length: 15 minutes Materials: ipads Technology: ipads Essential questions: Using your knowledge, how can you create your own shape and real world problem? TEKS:use models to determine the formulas for the perimeter of a rectangle (l + w + l + w or 2l + 2w) Students will be placed in partners to create their own real world problem using the seesaw app on the ipads. Students will add a voice-over describing their problem and how to solve it. 7
