School Improvement in Maryland

Lesson Plans: Lesson plans were written by Maryland mathematics educators and could be used when teaching the concepts.

Goal 2 Geometry, Measurement, And Reasoning

Expectation 2.3 The student will apply concepts of measurement using tools and technology when appropriate.

Indicator 2.3.2 The student will use techniques of measurement and will estimate, calculate, and/or compare perimeter, circumference, area, volume, and/or surface area of two-and three-dimensional figures and their parts.

Lesson Plan

Perimeter and Area of Similar Figures
Approximate Time: One 45 minute lesson.
Objective: The student will be able to determine and apply the relationship between perimeter, circumference, and/or area of similar figures and their parts.

Lesson Plan

Prisms: Areas and Volume
Approximate Time: Two 45-minute lessons
Objective: Students will apply the formulas for surface area and volume of various prisms by first investigating the derivation of the formulas and then by applying the formulas in practice problems.

Lesson Plan

Real World Activities Involving Volume, Surface Area, and Trigonometry
Approximate Time: One 45-minute lesson
Objective: Students will solve real world situations involving volumes and trigonometry.

Lesson Plan

Surface Area and Volume of Similar Solids
Approximate Time: One 45 minute lesson.
Objective: The student will be able to determine and apply the relationship between surface area and/or volume of similar figures and their parts.
