Master Teacher lessons
Big Idea:
Time to get wet! Water will fly as students test the relationship between the volume of a pyramid and a prism.
Big Idea:
Ever play a song back in your head over and over? You will be singing about area and circumference all day after this lesson!
Big Idea:
Expert students will lead the lesson as students apply prior knowledge of area to composite figures.
Big Idea:
Students demonstrating proficiency with surface area and volume rotate through a variety of performance tasks, while other students get small group instruction and a retest.
Big Idea:
Volume is related to area – what?! Students get to make connections to volume through the idea of “stacked” area.
Big Idea:
It’s more fun to go in reverse, just ask Mater! This lesson requires students to manipulate formulas to solve for unknown values.
Big Idea:
Students make connections to prior learning of surface area of a rectangular prism, which allows them to develop of a method for finding surface area of a triangular prism on their own.
Big Idea:
Did you say pie? or pi? Bring in a circular item for class, and it if happens to be food - AWESOME!
Big Idea:
Put on your funny glasses – we are going 3D! Students will use technology to manipulate and discover cross-sections.
Big Idea:
Seeing the fruits of your labor – students will show off their area and circumference skills.
Big Idea:
Students further their understanding of area and perimeter by first considering a design for a bumper car ride.
Big Idea:
Students get the opportunity to tutor their struggling peers on finding volume and surface area of prisms and pyramids.
Big Idea:
Students use the properties of rectangles to discover missing dimensions.
Big Idea:
Practice makes perfect – students will work on fluency of finding volume of prisms and pyramids.
Big Idea:
Can your students wrap a present without wasting paper? After this lesson they will be able to!
