LESSON PLAN

TOPIC: Area and perimeter


SUB-TOPICS:
 Perimeter of Squares and Rectangles
 Area of Squares and Rectangles
 Composite Shapes
UNITS: 7 units in a week
LECTURES:
DATE OF DELIVERY:

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
At the end of the lesson, students will learn to
 Explain the concept of area and perimeter.
 Calculate the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles.
 Find the area and perimeter of composite shapes.
 Solve real-world problems involving area and perimeter.

STUDENTS LEARNING OUTCOMES:


At the end of the lesson, students should be able to
 Calculate the area and perimeter of squares and rectangles.
 Find the area and perimeter of composite shapes.
 Explain the practical applications of area and perimeter in real-world scenarios.

RESOURCE MATERIALS:
 Whiteboard, Board markers and duster
 Textbook and Workbook 4B
 Worksheet

LINKAGE WITH PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE:


 Review and discuss the concept of length, width, and basic geometric shapes. Relate this
knowledge to the calculation of perimeter.
 Begin the lesson by revisiting the concept of perimeter, reinforcing that it represents the
total length of the boundary of a shape.

METHODOLOGY:
Draw Basic Shapes:
 Start by drawing a square and a rectangle on the board.
 Label the sides of each shape as "length" and "width."

Introduction:
 Briefly review the concepts of length and width.
 Introduce the terms "perimeter" and "area."
 Discuss why these concepts are important in real life.

Perimeter of Squares and Rectangles:


 Begin the lesson by revisiting the concept of perimeter, reinforcing that it represents the
total length of the boundary of a shape.
 Remind students of the formulas for calculating the perimeter of squares and rectangles.
 Work through examples as a class.
 Provide practice problems for individual work.

Introduction to Area:
 Remind students that while perimeter deals with the boundary, area involves the
measurement of the space enclosed by the shape.
 Write the area formula for a rectangle.

Connecting Area and Perimeter:


 Draw parallels between the concepts of area and perimeter. Highlight that both involve
the dimensions of the shape but focus on different aspects.

Demonstrate Calculations:
 Choose specific values for length, width, or side length.
 Walk through the step-by-step process of calculating both the area and perimeter for the
square and rectangle.
 Emphasize the units (e.g., square units for area).
Practical Application:
 Discuss real-world scenarios where area is important (e.g., carpeting a room, painting a
wall).

Composite Shapes:
Introduction to Composite Shapes:
 Relate the idea of composite shapes to what students already know about squares and
rectangles.
 Draw a composite shape on the board, explaining that it consists of smaller squares and
rectangles.
 Discuss how to identify and label individual components.
 Explain that composite shapes are combinations of squares and rectangles. Emphasize
that finding the area or perimeter of a composite shape involves applying the knowledge
gained from individual squares and rectangles.

Decomposing Composite Shapes:


 Break down the composite shape into recognizable squares and rectangles.
 Label the dimensions of each component and review the area and perimeter formulas for
squares and rectangles.

Calculate Area and Perimeter of Composite Shapes:


 Demonstrate how to find the total area by summing up the areas of individual
components.
 Calculate the perimeter by adding the lengths of all sides.
 Use specific numbers to illustrate the process.

Real-World Problems:
 Present real-world problems that require the calculation of area and perimeter.
 Encourage critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

Interactive Problem-Solving:
 Provide practice problems for students to solve on the board.
 Encourage class participation by having students come to the board to solve problems or
explain concepts.
 Emphasize the importance of units in the final answers.
INTEGRATION WITH OTHER SUBJECTS:
Math and Science:
 Explore the relationship between area and perimeter in ecological contexts (e.g.,
measuring the area of a garden).

BRIDGE:
 Connect the understanding of area and perimeter to future topics such as volume and
surface area. Emphasize the importance of these concepts in advanced geometry.

CONCLUSION:
 Summarize the main points of the lesson.
 Emphasize the differences between area and perimeter.
 Highlight the process of calculating area and perimeter for squares, rectangles, and
composite shapes.

TEST/ASSESSMENT:
Formative Assessment:
 Monitor student participation in class discussions.
 Review homework assignments.
Summative Assessment:
 Conduct a written test covering area and perimeter concepts.
