Lesson+2+(Week+8)

HEY GUYS!!! here's the final lesson plan for tuesday :D woops the date should actually be 13/9/11 but i cbb changing it ;)

Yo Julia! What kind of activities did you wanna do? Lets put ideas here. - Intro (lia) - Have a volume and capacity tree, students write words that they know which are associated with volume or capacity on post-its and stick them on the tree. - Activity 1 - Pip (lia) - How many 36cm3 rectangular prisms can you make? - Activity 2 - Nat (Julia)- Making a rectangular prism using grid paper - Activity 3 - (lia) Capacity - estimating and measuring volume of objects (Working out the volume of an object by utilising displacement) - Conclusion - (julia) Test your knowledge worksheet <- Hey jules! Nat said that she'll print of the test your knowledge worksheet for us :)

Yellow - To delete Blue - New adds Black - Old stuffs :) By using the information we gained last week of the students' prior knowledge, we aim to take the students further in their understanding of volume and capacity. || //MS3.3// Selects and uses the appropriate unit to estimate and measure volume and capacity, including the volume of rectangular prisms. //SGS3.1// Identifies three-dimensional objects, including particular prism and pyramids, on the basis of their properties, and visualises, sketches and constructs them given drawings of different views //Applying Strategies// Selects and applies appropriate problem-solving strategies, including technological applications, in undertaking investigations. //Communicating// Describes and represents a mathematical situation in a variety of ways using mathematical terminology and some conventions //Reasoning// Gives a valid reason for supporting one possible solution over another //Reflecting// Links mathematical ideas and makes connections with, and generalisations about, existing knowledge and understanding in relation to Stage 3 content. |||| **Assessment:** Formative: Summative:
 * = **Lesson 2: The Volume and Capacity of a Rectangular Prism** = ||
 * Aim - To determine the students’ prior knowledge on volume and capacity and explore how students can predict and measure the volume and capacity of certain objects.
 * **Outcomes:**
 * Working Mathematically**
 * Thorough observation of students’ participation in discussion and group interaction throughout the lesson using an observational checklist. Writing more detailed comments of individual students’ understanding when they are solving problems and recording data.
 * The completed ‘test your understanding worksheet’ and recording sheet will be used to assess students’ understanding and achievement of the lessons outcomes. ||
 * **Teaching and Learning** || **Indicators** || **Significant Questions** || **Resources** ||
 * **Introduction: What do you remember about volume and capacity?**

**Aim:** to see how much information students have retained from last week

Students are to write down all the things they know about volume and capacity on post-it notes. Encourage students to write down things they learnt from last week's lesson. They then stick their answers on the volume or capacity tree.

Teachers question students about some of the answers being written down on the post-it notes. E.g "How is * related to volume? || * Demonstrates current understanding of volume and capacity (//Communicating)//
 * Explains the reasons for including specific information (//Reasoning)// || * How is this related to volume?
 * How is this related to capacity?
 * What else have you learnt about volume and capacity? || * Post-it notes
 * Volume and Capacity trees
 * Pens ||
 * **Activity 1: Different ways to model 36cm3**

**Aim:** for students to understand that objects may have the same volume, but does not necessarily have the same shape Students are given 36cm cubes. With the cubes given, they are to build as many different rectangular prisms as they can. Revise the equation used to find the volume of a rectangular prism. By evaluating the length, breath and height of each rectangular prism they create, they should be able to develop an equation that equals to 36cm3. Students fill in their findings on the worksheet provided.

Answers: 6x6x1, 9x2x2

Make a worksheet || * Identifies that there are different ways to produce 36cm3 **Aim:** for students to estimate then calculate the volume of a rectangular prism in cubic cm, given the volume of one layer and the number of layers || * Recognises volume concepts within a scenario ||  ||   ||   ||
 * Demonstrates understanding of the equation used to find the volume of a rectangular prism || * What have you discovered about the relationship between volume and the shape of the rectangular prism? || * Worksheet
 * Pens ||
 * **Activity 2: Grid Prisms**
 * Able to explains why a scenario is representing a volume concept
 * Recognises capacity concepts within a scenario
 * Able to explain why a scenario is representing capacity concept || * How is the scenario demonstrating volume?
 * How/Why is the scenario demonstrating capacity?
 * Can you think of other scenarios that demonstrate volume or capacity? || * Volume signs X3
 * Capacity signs X3
 * Scenarios
 * Water
 * Containers
 * Sand ||
 * **Activity 3: Displacement and volume **


 * Aim:** to find the volume of an object using water displacement

Students will be encouraged to estimate the volume of an object. Then, they will have to try to find it's volume by putting it in water and seeing how much the water is displaced by. Students then record their findings on the worksheet provided. The relationship between volume and water displacement should be discussed || * Explains and demonstrates the relationship between volume and water displacement.
 * Demonstrates ability to make a thoughtful estimation || * If I don't have any measuring devices, but only have a bucket of water, how can I find the volume of objects?
 * What happens to the water when an object is placed in it? || * Measuring jug
 * Objects
 * apple
 * rock? ||
 * **Conclusion: Test your understanding**

**Aim:** to demonstrate understanding about the key concepts covered in the lesson.

Students will individually complete the worksheet “What have you discovered about volume and capacity?” Once finished, the group will discuss any questions that may arise relating to the lesson. || * Reflects on different concepts about volume and capacity (//Reflecting)//
 * Recognises the differences between volume and capacity
 * Understands the correct units to measure volume and capacity || * What did you learn from this lesson?
 * Which activity taught you that?
 * Which activities did you like or dislike? Why? || * Test your understanding worksheet (see appendix 2)
 * Pens
