QUADRİLATERALS

Learning Objectives:

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.G.B.3 Understand that attributes belonging to a category of two-dimensional figures also belong to all subcategories of that category. For example, all rectangles have four right angles and squares are rectangles, so all squares have four right angles.

CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.5.G.B.4 Classify two-dimensional figures in a hierarchy based on properties.

Guiding Ideas & Questions:

1) What does the root  “Quad” mean? (use examples like a “quadruplets”)

2) What does the root “lateral” mean? (use examples like a “lateral pass” in football)

3) What is a quadrilateral?

4) What kind of shapes can we make with four lines?

5) What is a square?

6) What is a rectangle?

7) Is a square a rectangle and why or why not?

8) Is a rectangle a square and why or why not?

Student Activities:

Getting Started:

Students will enter the multiplayer world Classifying Shapes. Each student should have a Classifying Quadrilaterals Worksheet as well.Videos with additional explanations are embedded inside the NPCs.

Activity:In the world, the students will come up with a definition and build shapes that can be classified under that definition. After that they will peer review the work of their classmates by labeling the shape with a sign, one structure can be more than one shape, for example a parallelogram is also a trapezoid and quadrilateral. Once they finish move onto the next room by speaking to the NPC and choosing "Other shapes".

COORDİNATE PLANES İN MİNECRAFT

Lesson Description:

Students will use coordinate planes to plot points and draw lines with basic functions within Minecraft.

Guiding Ideas & Questions:

1) What is a coordinate plane?

2) Where do we see coordinates? ie Maps, code, chessboard, etc

3) How do we plot points?

4) Can math draw a line?

Learning Objectives:

CCSS.Math.Content.5.G.A.1 Use a pair of perpendicular number lines, called axes, to define a coordinate system, with the intersection of the lines (the origin) arranged to coincide with the 0 on each line and a given point in the plane located by using an ordered pair of numbers, called its coordinates. Understand that the first number indicates how far to travel from the origin in the direction of one axis, and the second number indicates how far to travel in the direction of the second axis.

CCSS.Math.Content.5.G.A.2 Represent real world and mathematical problems by graphing points in the first quadrant of the coordinate plane, and interpret coordinate values of points in the context of the situation.

Performance Expectations:

1) The student was able to plot points on a coordinate plane numbers on the x and y axes.

2) The student was able graph a line from a function on a coordinate plane.

3) The student was able to find points on a coordinate plane by solving functions.

1) What is a unit measurement?

2) What is an area?

3) How do we find an area?

4) What is a rectangular prism?

5) How do we find all the blocks in a rectangular prism?

6) How can the formula for area help us find the formula of volume?

1) The student was able to explain volume as unit measurements that fill up a solid figure.

2) The student was able to derive a formula for volume.

3) The student was able to find the volume of rectangular prisms.

4) The student was able to find the volume of irregular shapes.

1) What is data?

2) How can we track data?

3) What is a line plot graph?

4) How do you graph fractions on a line plot graph?

5) What strategies can I use to add fractions quickly?

1) The student was able to collect data by throwing javelins on a score track.

2) The student was able to track and interpret data on a line plot graph.

3) The student was able add and subtract mixed numbers with different denominators.

How can we visualize fractions and decimals in the real world?

How do we relate fractions and decimals?

How can we represent parts of a whole?

Students will be able to relate decimals and fractions when using a base ten, or base one-hundred system.

Students will be able to demonstrate that decimals and fractions represent a part of a whole.

Students will be able to label and document their work.

• Students explore  the word Area - it is the space inside a shape

• Students will learn how to find the area of a rectangle or square.

• Consider the operations used to solve for area.

They will build structures and demonstrate their understanding of the area.

* All Learners will be able to explain what is Area

* Most Learners will be able to calculate area by counting blocks

* Some Learners will be able to apply formulae for calculating an area
