Setting the border
Teacher modeled the shape the children will make to find the area of.
Teacher also modeled how to use color tile squres to find the area of that space.
Students then worked at their desks; while one student came up to the smartboard to solve the same problem.
When completed children checked their answers to see how many squares took the space of the space.
After that they used the same shape but calculated the area outside the shape. Once again students worked at their desk and one study was working the same problem on the smartboard.
This continued for 4 more different shapes.
We tried to solve the pattern for the area. (This was a difficult concept for my students but the kind of got the idea. I had to model to them the correct problem sovling techniques).
This lesson was taken from the CD. It is called Inside Outside. I modified it by using the color tiles and the smartboard.
