Summary of the Lesson

What Will Teacher Do? What Will Students Do?

Provide math journal prompt: Where do we see polyhedrons in our community? Respond in writing in individual math journals

Outline daily objectives and post One student presents objectives

Introduce shapes as each is pulled from bag; quickly review names of solids Respond to teacher requests for shape identification

Model finding surface area of cube Listen to and watch modeling

Circulate to observe student pair work; note evidence of targeted language use as pairs work together; provide scaffolding if needed as students work to calculate surface area Work in pairs to calculate surface area of their selected solid. Plan to explain to class their process for calculation, noting hard and easy parts of the process. Use pair worksheet as needed. Begin work on covering solid with least amount of tissue paper possible, based on calculations, as time permits.

Select students to report process to class. (If time is limited, make sure all ELLs have a chance to report.) Report their calculation processes to the class, using their solids and any notes they have prepared to demonstrate. Listen to others’ reports.
