Lesson Title: Finding Area Grade level: 7th Total Time: 40 min

# Students: 10
Learning Goal:
(Content CCSS.Math.Content.7.G.B.4
Standard/Common Core) Know the formulas for the area and circumference of a circle
and use them to solve problems; give an informal derivation of
the relationship between the circumference and area of a
circle.
Target Goal or Skill: Students will be able to find the area of an object and accurately
multiple 2 digit numbers
Essential Question(s): Why is finding the area of an object important?

Topical question(s): What is the area of different objects around the room?

Instructional SWBAT accurately measure objects

Objective(s): SWBAT accurately find the area of an object
SWBAT multiply 2 digit numbers to find the area.
Assessment Formative Assessment:
(Criteria / Look Fors/ Students will accurately complete worksheet, finding the area and
Performance Tasks) being able to multiply 2 digit numbers. Presenting their
information to the class informally on the white board.

Summative Assessment:

Disabilities/Diverse Amarion-OHI- watching over his multiplying making sure he is

Needs Represented following the steps

Modifications

Instructional Procedures Firs 5-10 min

(including specific times) Go over classroom rules with students.
Introduce vocab words.
Introduction: Explain how to find the area.
(including motivational Work through 1-2 problems with students, depending on
hook where applicable) level of understanding.
Each student will measure their desk and as a group we will
record our information then work through the problem
Learning Activities: together making sure the students have a full understanding
of what they are doing.

Activity 25min
Students will each be given an object in the class room to
measure. Then will present their measurements to their
peers to fill in on their papers
Closure: Students will then calculate their numbers to find the area
of the objects.
Students who finish first will pick an index card with real
life examples of finding area. Ex: finding the area of a room
so you know how much carpet to buy.
Exit Slip last 5 min
Students will verbally present the area of their object or
index card.

Language Demands: Vocab: Area- size of a shape, area is a flat surface like your desk or
Function the floor in the room.
Vocabulary Perimeter- area outside of the shape, measure the perimeter of an
Syntax object, the outside edges of a shape.
Discourse Product- the answer of numbers that are multiplied together
Function: Introduce finding the area, strengthen multiplication
 skills.

5 Questions (Blooms or 1. How well can you recall previous multiplication steps to
DOK) figure out area?
2. How did you demonstrate your ability to measure objects
and find the area?
3. Did you accurately evaluate the expression?
4. Can you identify the importance of finding the area?
