Lesson Plans: Mathematics Lesson

1. Learners

Age & Grade Level:- 6 years old Grade 5
Content Area entry skills and Prerequisite Knowledge:- Students have mastered the area of 2D shapes so they can now learn how to master the 3D shapes.
Technology Prerequisite Skills:- Students are competent in using the Internet to find 2D shapes so having the ability to do that searching the Internet for 3D shapes will be an easy process.

2. Lesson

Lesson:- Surface Area of 3D Shapes
Subject Area:- Mathematics
Student Technology Standards for lesson:- In the NCTM Standards for School Mathematics, NCTM outlines ten knowledge and skill objectives that should be achieved from prekindergarten through grade 12, including Numbers & Operations, Algebra, Geometry, Measurement, Data Analysis & Probability, Problem Solving, Reasoning & Proof, Communication, Connections, and Representation.
The National Council of Teachers of Mathematics (NCTM) places great emphasis on the use of technology in mathematics education. Technology, one of the six principles fundamental to school mathematics programs as outlined by NCTM's Principles and Standards, is "essential in teaching and learning mathematics; it influences the mathematics that is taught and enhances students' learning.
Objectives:- Students will understand formulas used to measure the surface area of these basic three-dimensional shapes: a rectangular prism, a cylinder, and a square pyramid.
Creativity and innovation – create original works as a means of personal or group expression.
