Cetin Kursat Bilir Mathematics Curriculum for Grade 9-10 Finding the Area of Irregular Shape

All students will develop an understanding of the irregular shapes areas and use a process of decomposition to analyze and calculate irregular shapes areas.
Learning Objectives: Students will recognize that they can decompose irregular shapes into regular shapes such as rectangle, square, triangle, etc. Students will recognize that they can determine the area of irregular shape by finding and summing the area of irregular shapes composite shapes. Students will use GeoGebra in computer labs to build and decompose irregular shape. Students will learn how dragging affects the area of irregular shapes.

Learning Materials: Computers Ipad ( Ipad application about Tangram)

Teaching Plan Activity 1. Ask students about their own definitions of irregular shapes. 2. Then, ask students to create an irregular shape by using GeoGebra. Objective To check if they understand irregular shapes concept, I expect them to draw a shape as the following shape: However, if they have any questions about using GeoGebra, I will help them. Facilitate Students have been taught GeoGebra until the lesson.

I will ask students to estimate the area of the irregular shape.

Do they find at least one way? If they have struggle with the questions, I can ask some questions to lead them

Group activity: Each group should have 2 or 3 students. Ask students to share and discuss their calculation of area process with each other. Then, each group will share their findings with whole class in 3 minutes. Use Tangram app: Tangram app has different irregular shape designs. Let students choose one of them. In this application, students should use 7 pieces of different regular shapes to create the irregular shape. Then, I will ask students how they can calculate the area of the irregular shape.

Do they realize there are several ways to calculate area?

I will ask questions during their presentations to make clear some significant points My synthesis paper shows that moving and rotating shapes motivate students for learning If they have struggle with using the application (like rotating the pieces), I can help them.

DO they realize that they can calculate the area of irregular shape by using these irregular shapes?

Real life problem: I will give them a context and I created an irregular shape about the real life context. I will ask them to calculate the area of the irregular shapes to help Mr. Taylor.

After previous sections, students will have strategies to calculate the area of irregular shapes. I will ask student if her/his strategy works to calculate the area of Context: Mary and her mother another irregular shape. decided to buy red carpet for their living room. After long discussion, they persuade Marys father to buy the carpet for it. Before buying the carpet, they need to calculate the area of the living room. Unfortunately, Marys father does not help them to calculate its area. Lets help them. Please calculate the area of their living room.

I will ask questions to them to lead them
