Area of a Triangle Lesson Plan

Name: Emma Hale Class Period: 3rd Date: 7/12/22

1. Objectives:
Objective(s) DOK Level State Standard

TSW compute the area of triangles 2 7.G.6

2. Materials:
Item(s) Quantity:

Pencils 1 per student

Calculator 1 per student

Bellringer sheet 1 per student

Worksheet (x3) 1 per student

Guided Notes 1 per student

3. Opening (SET):
What will be done? (narrate the SET):
Today I want to talk about an accident at sea. So what happened in the picture? Just call out the answer. Yes, a sail
ripped. That boat is not going anywhere until the sail is fixed. But how would you get the right amount of supplies to fix
the sail? We are going to answer that question today. So who here has ever been on a boat. Raise your hand. What about
a sailboat? What shape are the sails in? Thinking back to the beginning, what would you need to know in order to fix
the broken sail? How would you figure out how much cloth you need? Yes, you need to determine the area of a triangle.
So the next time you’re stuck with a broken sail, you’ll know what to do.

Statement of Learning (your objective in language that students will understand):

I can compute the area of triangles.

Engagement (Explain how the student will participate in the SET):

Students will answer the questions

Ties to the lives of students (Explain how this topic relevant to their lives):
Students have been on boats or are at least familiar with them from movies.

4. Learning Tasks (Procedures):

Time What the teacher will be doing What the students will be doing
needed

5 Bellringer TSW quietly work on the problems,

10:00-10:05 TF36 1. Greeting students at the door writing the answer on their bellringer
TTW greet students at the door and instruct them to sit in their sheet. They will then volunteer to
assigned seat. TTW will take attendance (physically and share their answers.
 virtually). TTW will then call on students to share their answers
and explain the problem if students are confused.

5 SET Students will answer the questions

10:05-10:1 Today I want to talk about an accident at sea. So what happened according to the directions given by
0 in the picture? Just call out the answer. Yes, a sail ripped. That the teacher.
boat is not going anywhere until the sail is fixed. But how
would you get the right amount of supplies to fix the sail? We
are going to answer that question today. So who here has ever
been on a boat. Raise your hand. What about a sailboat? What
shape are the sails in? Thinking back to the beginning, what
would you need to know in order to fix the broken sail? How
would you figure out how much cloth you need? Yes, you need
to determine the area of a triangle. So the next time you’re stuck
with a broken sail, you’ll know what to do.

20 Guided Notes (I do, We do, you do)
10:10-10:30 TTW will instruct students to fill out their notes sheets and ask
for student volunteers to read the bullet points. TTW demo one
problem, do one problem with the group, and then have students
do one alone. The teacher will tell students to answer with a
quiet raised hand.
Strategy 5. Procedure, Then Question/Activity
TF36 Strategy 13. Implied Passion
TSW copy the bolded words into their
guided notes. They will volunteer to
read the bullet points with a raised
hand, and they will answer the review
ques. TSW copy down the answers to
all the triangle problems and make
sure that their work matches the
board.

25 Independent practice: Maze worksheet TSW quietly answer the questions on

10:30-10:55 TTW will pass out the Maze triangle practice worksheet and their worksheet to figure out how to
explain how students use the answer options to choose which get out of the maze. They will use
question to answer next. TTW then walk around and answer their notes and a calculator. If they
student questions. have questions. TSW quietly raise
their hands.

Extension Extra problems TSW complete the extra problems

TTW will provide 1 or 2 extra worksheets to the students who until the bell rings.
finish early.

5. Closure (2-5 min):

Describe the closure [be sure to include restating the objective(s)].
What two things do you need to determine the area of a triangle?

What questions will you ask for the review?

So what is the formula to find the area of a triangle?

What is going to happen next lesson?

Next lesson y’all are going to look at how to find the area of quadrilaterals.

6. Assessment: How will students show that the objective was achieved?
When and how will you formally gauge learning Collect and grade first worksheet
throughout the lesson? (projects, essays, quizzes, tests,
worksheets, etc.)
 When and how will you informally gauge learning We do/you do section of the presentation
throughout the lesson? (discussions, questioning, review
activities, worksheets, etc.)

7. Differentiated Instruction:
*Enrichments and interventions should be some change in the content taught, the process in which the material is taught,
or the product produced by the student.
Enrichment: What will you do to challenge your Extra worksheets
higher-achieving students?

Intervention (students struggling or in the tier Walk around and offer assistance, answering any
process/response to intervention): What will you do to questions they have
support/remediate learners?

Accommodation (Students with IEPs): What will you do Follow the accommodations and advice on all IEPS.
to accommodate students?
