Regular 1st/3rd/4th/6th Advanced 2nd/5th
Monday:
MAFS.6.G.1.1
MP 1-8
EQ: How does knowing how to find the area of basic shapes help to find the area of composite shapes? / Area of Triangles, Rectangles, Parallelograms, Trapezoids
Objective(s): Find the area of basic shapes
Guided Practice: sample problems
Independent Practice: (Homework) Worksheet / Area of Triangles, Rectangles, Parallelograms, Trapezoids
Objective(s): Find the area of basic shapes
Guided Practice: sample problems
Independent Practice: (Homework) Worksheet
Tuesday:
MAFS.6.G.1.1
MP 1-8 / Measurement Activity: Students will solve measurement problems using a game called Plickers. Plickers engages students to work out a problem and select the correct answer upon completion of the work. Then the students will hold up a card showing the multiple choice selection they chose for their answer. I will scan each card to reveal who had the correct/incorrect answers. Students do not know if anyone other than themselves got the answer correct. I, on the other hand, will know and can tell who’s getting the concept and who’s not. We will review each problem at the end of everyone’s selection of answers. / Measurement Activity: Students will solve measurement problems using a game called Plickers.
