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
Length times width equals… In this funny Nearpod lesson, students learn how to calculate the area of rectangles. Students will learn how to calculate area by counting un and then by using a formula.
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.
