Module 18 THEME LEARNING AREA LEARNING OBJECTIVES LEARNING OUTCOMES : Investigating Force and Energy : 1. Measurement : 1.2.

Understanding how to calculate area. : Calculate the area of a given shape in metric system. PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE SCIENCE PROCES SKILLS RESOURCES VOCABULARY TEACHERS NOTES : Pupils know how to measure length. : Observing, measuring and using number. : Square cards 1cm X 1cm, graph paper. : Calculate, square, rectangle. : Area is defined as how big a surface is.

LESSON DEVELOPMENT STEPS PROCEDURES TEACHERS REFERENCES

Set Induction

1. Teacher shows 3 objects of different area. 2. Ask the pupils to compare the surface area. 1. Ask the pupils to state the number of rectangles in each figure. 2. State which figure has the biggest area. 1. Pupils guess the number of squares that fix the figure. 2. Pupils confirm their guesses by filling the 4 cm X 4 cm square and 2 cm X 8 cm rectangle with 1 cm X 1 cm card and count the number of 1 cm X 1cm card used. 1. Pupils compare the objects of different shapes: a. Square ( 4 cm X 4 cm.) b. Rectangle ( 2 cm X 8 cm) 2. Pupils guess which object has bigger area. 3. Teacher explains how to calculate the area 4. Pupils calculate the area of any given square and rectangle in metric unit. Refer to worksheet M18/WS2
