These are the lesson plans for Unit 12 of 15 in the 4th Grade Math Curriculum: 127 lessons in teaching order, week by week, each with a lesson plan and an exit ticket.
Also for this unit: exit tickets, pre-check, unit review and test. See the whole year
Everything each lesson plan points to, with links. Sheet numbers count worksheets: a color pack prints each sheet again in black and white.
★ Taught in 4th grade in some states.
Seven lesson plans, one for each lesson of a 4th grade unit on area and perimeter, in teaching order, after an overview page that lays the unit out day by day: a pre-check, the seven lessons, a review and the unit test. Each plan fits on one page. It gives the goal, what to get ready, the words to use, the lesson in five steps with the words to say, questions to ask, common mistakes and what to do about them, and the Animal Math worksheets, makers and quiz for the lesson.
Print the unit, or just the day's page, and teach from it. Each lesson takes about 45 minutes: a 5 minute warm up, 10 minutes of teaching, 10 minutes together, 15 minutes of practice and an exit ticket at the end. Keep grid paper and square tiles out all unit. The exit tickets, pre-check, review and unit test are separate packs, made for these lessons, and the plans use other rectangles than they do. Lessons 12.5 to 12.7 are taught in 4th grade in some states only: rectangles with the same perimeter or the same area (Florida, Virginia), shapes made of rectangles (Georgia, Indiana, Oklahoma) and volume with unit cubes (Oklahoma); skip the ones your class does not learn.
Teaching at home? Use the warm up and the "Try it together" step as a short lesson, and the "Words to use" as the way to talk about it. Graph paper, a ruler, toothpicks and sugar cubes or building blocks are all you need. The mistakes to watch for are the ones most children make.
