in Math 4
I. Objective
III. Procedure
A. Drill
- Class I have here a flashcards. Read it carefully.
B. Review
- Class we’ve tackled last meeting about area of rectangle. Who can give me
the formula we can use to find the area of a rectangle.
C. Lesson Proper
1. Motivation
- Class, have you ever played a Jigsaw Puzzle?
- I have 4 sets of jigsaw puzzle here. Each group will be given one set of it. Form the
puzzle as fast as you can. The fastest who can form the puzzle and post it on the board is the
winner of the game. The winner will be receive an additional 10 points in our test later.
(Remember that you should work as a group/team. The noisy group/s will be disqualified to our
game.)
- After the 3 – 5 minutes declare the winner
- What kind of spatial figure you have formed?
A Rectangular Prism
2. Presentation of Lesson
A Rectangular Prism
- Class lets discuss the finding the volume of a rectangular prism.
- A Rectangular prism is a solid figure that has six faces, twelve edges ad eight
vertices.
- Vertex (vertices in plural form) is the corner of a shape.
- Edge is a segment where two faces of a prism meet.
- Some rectangular prisms have faces that are shaped like rectangles and squares.
Height
Width
Length
Volume = length x width x height
side = 3 x 3 x 3 =27 cubic units
Answer: There are 27 cubic units
- The box below is in the shape of a rectangular prism. It contains cubes arranged in
rows, columns, and layers. What the volume of the prism?
3 rows of 3 cubes
9 cubes in all
Height (3 units)
Width (2 units)
length (4units)
4 rows of 2 cubes
3 layers of 4 rows of 2 cubes
24 cubes in all
- You count the number of cubes to get the volume of the rectangular prism.
- You can also multiply the number of rows by the number of columns and by the
number of layers to find the volume.
V = 4 rows x 2 columns x 3 layers
= 24 cubes
- Let V be the volume of a rectangular prism. If l is the length, w is the width and h is
the height of the rectangular prism.
V=lxwxh
=4x2x3
= 24 cubic units
- Therefore, the volume of the rectangular prism is 24 cubic units.
3. Generalization
- What are the three dimensions of a rectangular prism?
(L, W, H)
- How do we get the volume of a rectangular prism?
(By using the formula V=l x w x h)
4. Application
- Class I will group you into 4 groups. Each group will be given one activity.
1.
