Lesson Objectives (including AFL)
- Recap on area of a rectangle, triangle, and parallelogram.
- Recap on EB's recipe:
- Decide on the shape.
- Write down the correct rule.
- Replace the letters with numbers.
- Work out the answer.
- Give the correct units.
- Area of a Kite
- Area of a Trapezium
| Success Criteria
- Everyone able to remember and apply the area formulae for all the shapes discussed.
|
Class Management Objectives
- Try to follow EB's example from yesterday as closely as possible, in terms of quiet and control achieved.
|
| Lesson Context (including AFL)
| Prior Pupil Knowledge
- Area of Rectangle, Triangle and Parallelogram
- Perimeter
|
Resources/Equipment
- Whiteboard pens
- EW pen
- 35 copies of Starter worksheets
- This lesson plan (two hard copies)
- Whiteboard rubber
| Provision for EAL/SEN/G&T

| Named Students
|
Starter
- Recap on the recipe.
- Recap on the rules:
- Area of rectangle = l x w
- Area of triangle = half x base x height.
- Area of parallelogram = base x height.
- Quick worksheet on area of six shapes.
|
Development activities (including AFL)
- Area of Kite
- Who can tell me what a kite is? A quadrilateral with two adjacent sides of equal length.
- What does adjacent mean? Next to each other.
- Draw a kite with length 20cm and width 8cm.
- Draw a rectangle around it with the same dimensions.
- Remember that yesterday we said all triangles are half a rectangle.
- Rule for the area of a triangle is half length x width. So the area of a kite is half length x width.
- Area of a kite = half x length x width
- Area of Trapezium
- Who can tell me what a trapezium is? A quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel sides.
- Area = Half (a + b) x h
|
Plenary / AFL
- WWW (what went well?)
- EBI (even better if...)
|
| Cross-curricular links (Literacy, Numeracy, Citizenship, Spirituality, ICT)
|
Homework
- None, as a one-off special.
