Unit Overview
Unit Title
Perimeter and area (a Mathematics unit)
Unit Summary

Our unit that includes main topic for grade four mathematics , is Perimeter and area
,examines rectangles shapes and the relationship between their areas and perimeters
.Also, from this topic students will be able to measure these features, understand that perimeter and
area have a relationship, and recognize and apply their new knowledge in real-life applications .
Subject Area
English ,specifically reading for readness students.
Grade Level
Grade 4
Approximate Time Needed
9 50 mints class periods , 4 weeks ,1 month.
Unit Foundatio
Student Objectives/Learning Outcomes

As a result of the unit, the students will know

Perimeter is the distance around a closed figure .
Perimeter is measured with units of length, including metric units and US customary units (inches,
centimeters, yards, meters).
Perimeter of a figure can be found by adding the lengths of the sides.
Area is the size of a two dimensional object; it is the (two dimensional) space inside a region.
Area is measured by units of area, including metric and US customary units (square inches, yards,
centimeters, meters) .
The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying length by width.

As a result of the unit, the students will understand that

Perimeter and area are important concepts in daily life as they are widely applied by builders,
architects, painters, farmers/gardeners and other designers.
There is a relationship between the perimeter and shape of a rectangle and its area
o Rectangles of a given perimeter dont necessarily have the same area .
o Rectangles of different shapes can have different areas but the same perimeter .
o The perimeter of a rectangle of a given area can be maximized; the area of a rectangle of a
given perimeter can be maximized.

As a result of the unit, the students will be able to

Select appropriate tools and units to measure perimeter and area of both physical objects and
representations.
Label rectangles with measurements of perimeter and area.
Identify and describe real-life situations in which area and perimeter are usefully applied.
Communicate effectively through drawings, words and numbers.
Work cooperatively in a small group.

Assessment Plan
Assessment Timeline
Before project work begins

1.

Prepare2.
the curriculum
material for
the students
and set
teaching plan
about
addition
process ,
that will be
used in class.

Prepar 3.
ea
questionnaire
that will
determine the
level of
knowledge
that the
students have
on the
subject
addition
process.

Assessment Summary

Students work on projects

and complete tasks

Monitor 4.
the interaction
of students in
class with the
learning plan
and materials
explained and
then evaluate
their learning
through giving l 5.
them exercise
to do on the
broad like :

40+11+
55=
?

19+39+
23+27=
?

51+16+
22=
?

28+22+
40+13=
?

Also ,we6.
can evaluate if
students surely
understand
the concept of
the addition
process
through doing
quizzes
And in
the class we
advise to
demand from
the students
doing
worksheet in
pairs not each
student only
,this thing can
help them to
understand
more and
more about
the addition
process .

After project work is

completed

After 7.
evaluating
the overall
examination
results along
with the
overall
interaction in
class and
students
responses to
the material
explained in
the class .

The
overall
assessment
determine
whether we
can go to the
next unit of
teaching or we
have to repeat
the unit all
over again for
students to
have better
understanding
about
addition
process
