Title: Flower Science
Objective: Students will be applying all their knowledge of area and perimeter to a
real life situation. From their knowledge of the calculator, they will be inputting
their data and then graphing it as well.
Procedure:
Class will begin by reviewing the formulas that we went over yesterday and
the previous days as well. The students will be expected to have a formula page
within their notebook and this is where the formula for area (and perimeter) will be
written out. We, as a class, will do a quick review of what we discovered yesterday
(area formula for rectangles and triangles) and we will be writing them in their
notebook, if they are not already in there.
Activity:
1) After we have discussed the formulas, I will be handing out the
worksheet that the students will be doing in class today (see
Appendix for the worksheet and its answers). Graph paper
will also be handed out.
2) After a quick overview of the worksheet, the students will begin
their work. The students will be asked to complete the entire
problem (all parts) and then asked to graph their findings. The
directions of the activity are on the actual worksheet.
3) For the rest of the class, the students will just follow the
directions on the worksheet until it’s complete. There is a lot of
data on the worksheet, and I do expect it to take two days. The
first day (day 4) the students will be completing the chart. The
chart is quite long and should take an entire class period.
4) On day 5, I will be doing a quick review of inputting data into
the calculator and then graphing it (the transparency will be
used and can be found in the Appendix).
Conclusion: At the end of day five, once the chart is complete and the data is
graphed, the students will be asked to graph their findings (in more detail) on graph
paper for homework. They can begin this once the worksheet is complete.
Homework Assignment: Finish the worksheet, if it’s not already done,
and graph Flower Science in greater detail.
