This is an interactive 3rd grade lesson plan to reinforce 3.MD.5, 3.MD.6, and 3.MD.7 the concept of area. This lesson will most likely span over the course of a couple of days. Thumbnail "farm scene" by Christian Collins, Creative Commons license CC BY-SA 2.0.
This activity is intended to assess your 3rd grade students' ability to find area and perimeter of rectangles and squares. Students will be creating a robot using Google Drawing. They will then find the area and perimeter of each piece of the robot. Once they have found the area and perimeter for each shape in their robot, students will calculate the total area and perimeter of the robot. Photo by Eric Krull on Unsplash
In this activity students will collaborate as a team to build a virtual commnuity garden on Google Jamboard. Individually students will need to demonstrate how area and perimeter are caculated after making a model of a garden plot using square units.
This lesson plan created by Tanner Dance at the University of Utah includes a video and plan for teaching dance and telling time. The plan includes a warm up and various dance/math integration activities.
Open Middle tasks provide opportunities for student to approach a mathematical task using different strategies and representations. They can be used as a warm-up/closing activity, as a formative assessment, or to facilitate discourse and discussion and get insite into student thinking and problem solving. These tasks provide a great opportunity for student to engage with the Standards for Mathematical Practice.
