Overview
During this course, you are expected to write a lesson plan (PreK to Grade 12).
This assignment will help you to be familiar with what geometry contents can be taught at each
grade level. Thoroughly examine geometry standards of NCTM/Common Core and State
standards for geometry to plan your lesson.

Objectives and
Alignment to
Standards (NCTM,
Common Core, and
State) -3pts
Students should be able to identify shapes and work out volumes of
the rectangular prisms using V=L*B*H or V= Base Area*Height
Students to be able to define the volume and know the unit for
measuring volumes.
Students should be able to find the area of a right angled triangles,
other types of triangles, quadrilateral objects and models, and
polygons by creating rectangles or decomposing into triangles and
other shapes; apply the learnt techniques in solving real-world and
other mathematical problems.

Engage-3pts
 Show your students a handful of base ten cubes and inquire
from your students the kind of container that can be filled
using the base ten cubes without leaving a space. Allow them
to discuss and tell to one another the answer.
 Allow your students to share their ideas with the entire class
 Show up your class a projected image of the base ten cubes
and describe its features using the labels such as Length (side
to side), Base (depth, front to back) and Height (how tall it is
from to bottom).
Explore-3pts
 Inform your students that they will construct and build a real
model of a rectangular prism using the cube units and shapes
from the construction paper.
 Demonstrate to the class how a ten cube volume unit
rectangular prism is constructed using the unit cubes
 Also show your class how the SI unit of Volume is written for
example for a one-unit cube, the volume will be u3
 Finally have your class build a model of a 36u3. Note that to
build this, the unit cubes are counted on the Length (6 units),
Base (6 Units) and Height (6units).
V= L*B*H;
V=6units*6units*6units = 36u3
