Tiered Assignments
Tiered Assignment M5M1. Students will extend their understanding of area of geometric plane figures.a. Estimate the area of geometric plane figures.b. Derive the formula for the area of a parallelogram.c. Derive the formula for the area of a triangle.d. Find the areas of triangles and parallelograms using formulae.e. Estimate the area of a circle through partitioning and tiling.f. Find the area of a polygon (regular and irregular) by dividing it into squares,rectangles, and/or triangles and find the sum of the areas of those shapes.g. Derive the formula for the area of a circle.h. Find the area of a circle using the formula and pi ≈ 3.14.
Summarizing
In what part of your three part lesson will you incorporate tiered questions or assignments in the coming weeks?
What data collection tool or process will you use to record student responses to your questions or investigative learning time?
Circumference Exploration
Area of a Circle
Measurement Conversion
Each player or team needs:•custom dice•a game mat•23 inchworms•5 feet•1 yardA player rolls one die. The player is awarded that number of inchworms to place on the game mat in the inches section. When a player reaches 12 inchworms, the player trades the 12 inchworms in for 1 foot. When a player reaches 3 feet, the player trades in the three feet for 1 yard and the game is finished.The players take turns accumulating inches to reach the goal of one yard.
