8 Overview of Unit Day One: Perimeter Students will use one-inch square tiles to investigate perimeter. Through group exploration, students will determine how you can increase or decrease perimeter by adding square tiles to a figure. Students will be able to identify that different shapes can have the same perimeter. Day Two: Area Students will read a story that introduces students to manipulatives called tangrams. Students will then use the tangrams to investigate the meaning of area. In groups, students will work to construct two figures from the story. Students will become familiar with geometric shapes and see how they can combine to form other shapes. Day Three: Area continued Students will continue to use tangrams to explore area. Individually, students will be asked to complete an activity of drawing rectangles with the same area. Their partner according to the rubric on the overhead will grade this activity. Students will develop and understanding that different shapes can have the same area. Students will also have a chance to obtain bonus points by completing a fun activity with tangrams. Day Four: Constant Area, Changing Perimeter Students will explore that perimeters of rectangles can vary even when their area is constant. Students will use geoboards to construct rectangles with a given area. As a class, students will develop a chart that demonstrates that the perimeters vary. Students will then compete a similar activity individually that adds another component of cost. Day Five: Constant Perimeter, Changing Area Students will complete a similar activity as in day four; only today students will discover that areas of rectangles with a fixed perimeter can vary. Students will use their geoboards to investigate this concept. Students will also construct diagrams and tables that allow them to explore maximum and minimum questions relating to the areas for rectangles of fixed perimeter. Day Six: Constant Perimeter, Changing Area Students will work on the same problem as the previous day except this time they will use the graphing calculator to arrive at their solution. Students will work in groups to complete a scatter plot by following the instructional worksheet. They will also analyze tables to determine the values needed for lists. Students will see how you can use a scatterplot and the trace function to maximize area. 8
9 Day Seven: Area of Parallelograms This lesson is designed to allow for students to deepen their understanding of area by finding areas of parallelograms. Students will use their geoboards to construct parallelograms and then count and estimate to find the area. Students will develop a formula for finding the area of a parallelogram, and will discover that they can relate it to something they can already do, which is finding the area of a rectangle. Day Eight: Area of Triangles Students will use again use their geoboards to complete a similar activity as yesterday. Students will construct triangles and then count and estimate to find the area. Through self-discovery students will develop a formula for finding the area of a triangle. Day Nine: Making Parallelograms from Triangles Students will cut out triangles in this activity and arrange them to form different shapes. This is designed to help students see that a triangle is half of a parallelogram. Students will discover that two congruent triangles can always be arranged to make a parallelogram, as well as that a parallelogram can always be cut to form two congruent triangles. Day Ten: Area of Trapezoids Students will look at a rectangle and triangle in this lesson to see if they can find the similarities and differences compared to a trapezoid. Using their geoboards to construct trapezoids and then count and estimate to find the area. Students will develop a formula for finding the area of a trapezoid. Students will discover that a trapezoid can be cut and arranged to form a rectangle. 9

Explain task to Students: Because we have used all the possible factor pairs as lengths and widths of the rectangle. Investigation: Building Storm Shelters BACKGROUND: From March 12-14, 1993, a fierce winter storm hit the eastern United States form Florida to Maine. Thousands of people were stranded in the snow, far from shelter. A group of 24 Michigan students, who had been hiking in the Smoky Mountains of Tennessee, were among those stranded. To prepare for this kind of emergency, parks often provide shelters at points along major hiking trails. Since shelters are only for emergency use, they are designed to be simple and inexpensive buildings that are easily maintained. INVESTIGATION: The rangers in Great Smoky Mountains National Park want to build several inexpensive storm shelters. The shelters must have 24 square meters of floor space. Suppose that the walls are made of sections one meter wide and cost $125. Tell Students: o Use your geoboards to create the different rectangle shapes. As you complete the investigation worksheet, record your findings in a table similar to the one we made in the opening activity, but you will need to add a column for cost. Informal Assessment: o Make sure students are recording the rectangles onto the grid paper that they made on their geoboards, as well as completing the chart. Closure: We will discuss the worksheet as a class. Group Assessment: o I will ask random groups to explain to the class how they arrived at their responses. 30
31 On their Own: Have student complete the following problem individually: If the park ranger wanted to build storm shelters with 20 square meters of floor space instead of 24 square meters, which design would be the least expensive to build? LENGTH WIDTH AREA PERIMETER COST OF WALLS 1 meter 20 meters 20 square meters 42 meters $ meters 10 meters 20 square meters 24 meters $ meters 5 meters 20 square meters 18 meters $ meters 4 meters 20 square meters 18 meters $ meters 2 meters 20 square meters 24 meters $ meters 1 meters 20 square meters 42 meters $5250 The 4 x 5 (or 5 x 4) shelter would be the least expensive to build. Individual Assessment o The activity above will act as an individual assessment. I will collect and grade each student s paper. Homework: Students will complete the Sandbox worksheet. NAME 31

42 Day 6: Constant Perimeter, Changing Area Objectives: Students will reproduce steps of solving a maximization problem using the TI-84. Students will analyze tables to determine values for specific lists. Students will be able to describe the aspects and values of the scatter plot. Students will describe in their own words the process of using the TI-84 to solve the maximization problem. Standards: NCTM: Algebra, Geometry, Data Analysis and Probability, Problem Solving, Reasoning and Proof, Communications, Representations, Connection NYS: 6.PS.10, 6.PS.11, 6.PS.15, 6.PS.16, 6.CM.4, 6.CM.10, 6.CN.6, 6.CN.7, 6.R.1, 6.R.5, 6.R.7, 6.G.3, 6.S.2, 6.S.4, 6.S.7 Materials: Overhead projector Overhead graphing calculator Graphing calculator for each student Fido s Fence: Day Two Worksheet TI Instructional Worksheet Homework Check: Pop homework quiz. (I don t think students would plan on having a pop homework quiz 2 days in a row). Students will transfer their perimeter charts from the previous evening s homework onto a separate sheet of paper. Opening Activity: Pick-up a graphing calculator, TI-Instructional Worksheet, and Fido s Fence: Day One Worksheet. Also, get your Fido s Fence: Day One worksheet. Tell Students: o Today we are going to work on the same problem as we did the previous day only today we are going to use the calculator to help us arrive at a solution. Main Activity: We will complete the investigation of Fido s Fence as a class. 42
43 NOTE: The class will be sitting in their cooperative learning groups. We will go through the worksheets as a class. To complete the task and answer the questions on the worksheet the students will do so in their groups. Then we will come back together as a class to discuss their responses. Informal Assessment: o As the groups are working on the assigned tasks I will make sure the students are entering information into their calculator correctly and that they are filling out their worksheets properly. Group Assessment: o When we come back together as a class, (at a couple different times during the lesson) I will ask random groups to explain to the class how they arrived at their responses. Closure: As a class, we will discuss how we would go about completing the following task: o Imagine your friend has asked you how you found the maximum area for Fido s Pen. Write her directions on how you went about finding the maximum area. Homework: Write the steps to find the maximum area of a rectangle with the area 30. Then find the dimensions of the rectangle with the maximum area. 43

Enter the whole numbers from 1 to 11(the largest possible length) into L1 on your calculator by typing each number and pressing ENTER until all the lengths have been entered. 3. You should have noticed that the number of fencing pieces remaining for the width of the pen can be found by subtracting twice the number used for a length from L2 fencing pieces available. We want to store in L2 the widths that correspond to the lengths in L1. 4. Press to move to the second list. Press to move to the top so that L2 is highlighted. 5. Enter 12 - L1 as the definition for L2. Your display should look like the example on the right. 6. Press ENTER and the column of possible lengths should appear in L2. 7. Press the to move to the third list and then press to move to the top so that L3 is highlighted. 8. Enter 2(L1) + 2(12 L1) as the definition for L3. Your entire list should be equal to Press the to move to the fourth list and then press to move to the top so that L4 is highlighted. 10. Press 2nd [L1] x 2nd [L2] ENTER to enter the expression for L4 that you found in question #2 on Day Two worksheet. 11. Answer question #4 on the Day Two worksheet. 12. A scatterplot is often used to present a visual display of the relationship between two sets of paired data like the length and area measurements. Your calculator can produce a scatterplot display of the numbers in its lists. 13. Press 2nd [STAT PLOT] ENTER. Edit the window so that yours looks like the one at the right. To make a selection move the blinking cursor on top of the desired location and then press ENTER. 44
45 14. Press Y= and clear any equations in any of the lines. Press GRAPH to view a scatterplot of the pen areas in relation to the pen lengths. 15. We are using comparing L1 (length) to L4 (area). This way when we find the greatest area we are able to look down and see what length is associated with it. Then we can find the width if we know the length and thus we have the dimension of the figure that yields the greatest area. 16. Press ZOOM 9:ZoomStat to get a picture of all of your data on your calculator screen 17. You can view the coordinates of each plotted point by pressing TRACE followed by the left and right arrow keys. 18. Answer questions #6, 7, and 8 on the Day Two worksheet. 45
46 FIDO S FENCE: DAY TWO 1. We are going to use our data from our table and enter each column into a different list. You will use L1 to store the possible lengths and then calculate values for the corresponding areas. Once you calculate the values, you will store the lengths in L2, the perimeters in L3, and the areas in L4. 2. If L1 = length, then what would the formulas be for the following? a) L2 = width = 24-2L1 = 12 L1 b) L3 = perimeter = 2(L1) + 2(12 L1) c) L4 = area = L1 x L2 3. Go to #1 on the Instructional Guide. 4. Examine the fourth list to find the dimensions of the area of the pen that has the largest possible area. Complete the following sentence to provide a solution to the original question: A rectangle with a length of 6 feet and a width of 6 feet gives the largest possible pen for Fido of 36_ square feet. 5. Return to the #13 on the Instructional worksheet. 6. You used TRACE to move through the data points in the scatterplot. Which point corresponds to the maximum area? What sets it apart from the other points on the plot? 7. What is the length and width for the maximum area? 8. Sketch a diagram of Fido s pen. Label the dimensions. 6 ft A = 36 sq. ft 6 ft 46
47 Day 7: Area of Parallelograms Objectives: Students will be able to discover relationships between rectangles and parallelograms Students will develop an understanding of the area of parallelograms through self-discovery. Students will be able to calculate the area of parallelograms using the formula they developed given the dimensions of the shape, as well as determine the dimensions of given the area. Students will discover that a parallelogram can be cut to form a rectangle and the area remains constant. Standards: NCTM: Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Problem Solving, Reasoning and Proof, Communications, Connections, Representation NYS: 6.PS.10, 6.PS.13, 6.PS.14, 6.PS.15, 6.PS.16, 6.CM.4 6.CN.4 6.R.1, 6.R.5, 6.R.6, 6.G.2, 6.G.11 Materials: Calculator Graph Paper Geoboards and rubber bands Geoboard Grid Paper Area of parallelogram worksheet Parallelogram homework worksheet Overhead projector Transparency of anticipatory set Magnetic parallelograms/rectangles Homework Check: Students will be allowed five minutes to discuss their homework in groups of four. I will be walking around the room to check to see if the students made a conscious effort to complete the assignment and to make sure students are on task. I will only answer questions if each group member has the same question, which is, everyone agrees that they do not understand something. Opening Activity: I will have the following figures on the overhead with directions for the students to find the area of the given rectangle and find the area of the parallelogram using graph paper. 47
48 Ask Students: o What is the area of the rectangle and how did you arrive at your answer? Students will estimate the area by counting the number of squares in both the rectangle and parallelogram and find that the areas both equal 52 square units. Tell Students: o We talked about finding the areas of rectangular figures. Today we will find shortcuts for finding the area of special figures called parallelograms. Main Activity: Part I: o With their cooperative learning groups and using their geoboards, students will be asked to create five parallelograms with different areas. One side of the parallelogram must be parallel to a side of the geoboard. o Students will record their parallelograms on geoboard grid paper, as well as find and record the area of each parallelogram on their parallelograms worksheet. Informal Assessment: o I will observe groups to ensure they have created the parallelograms on their geoboards correctly. In addition I will make sure groups are correctly determining the area of their parallelograms. Part II: o When students have finished recording the area of each parallelogram, they will be asked to find the length of the side that 48
49 is parallel to a side of the geoboard for each parallelogram. They are to label it as the base. They will then find the length of the base of each parallelogram and record that amount on their worksheet as well. o In addition, they will be asked to determine the height of the parallelogram from the base to the top or highest point of the parallelogram and label that amount as the height. Students will find and record the height of each parallelogram on their parallelogram worksheet. o If any student questions why we measure the height of the highest point and not the slant I will draw and explain to students that when you go to the doctor they always measure your height. Do you ever stand like this: No! They measure your height standing straight up and from your lowest point (feet) to your highest point (head). Like this: o In their cooperative learning groups, students will answer the guided learning questions #1-4 on their parallelogram worksheets. Informal Assessment: o I will walk around the room and make sure students are correctly labeling their figures and see if there are any misconceptions on how to determine the area of a parallelogram. Closing: We will come back together as a class to discuss the student s findings during the activity. We will talk about the student s responses to the questions on their worksheets. 49
50 Group Assessment: o I will call on a random group member to represent their group s responses to particular questions from the worksheet and to explain how they arrived at their response. I will show the students why their formulas are true using the square and parallelogram magnets as follows: Homework: Students will complete the finding area of parallelograms handout. 50
