Lesson Plan Template Mate 3060 Fall 2016
Procedures
Before
- Put up a picture of a rectangle on the board with the length labeled 3cm and width
labeled 5 cm
- Have students find the perimeter. Ask 2-3 students how they went about finding the
perimeter
- Have a student tell me how we would find the area of the same rectangle
- Have students find the area
- Explain that our task for today is to be able to figure out the lengths and widths of a
rectangle when the area is given to us, and to also be able to use that information to
determine our perimeter.
- Discuss with students what counts as a different rectangle.
- Ask if there are any questions
During
- Students will work in partners to determine 4 different ways to determine the lengths
and widths of a rectangle with an area of 24cm2 and then use those lengths and
widths to determine the perimeters of the rectangles they created.
- They should be able to explain how they came up with their numbers
- Students will be given square tiles as well as graph paper to use to help them

what property is that?
After
- Tell me what lengths and widths they came up with and how many groups of students
came up with the same lengths and widths.
- Pick a few groups to share how they went about solving the problem?
- Ask each group how was their strategy helpful?
- Ask each group what might be a drawback of using their strategy (more time
consuming)
- Explain how your strategy could be used to solve another similar problem?
- Give them an exit slip problem
Assessment:
Exit ticket: students will individually solve at least two different rectangles with the area of
12cm2, and find the perimeters of the rectangles.
