RATIONAL:

Area and perimeter are two important and fundamental parts of mathematics. The unit and topics of
area and perimeter are important to mathematics because they are the physical aspects of
mathematics. They are the foundation for understanding other aspects of geometry such as volume and
mathematical theorems that help us understand algebra, trigonometry, and calculus.

Learning about area and perimeter will give the students a chance to use math that real people need
and use outside of school. Many careers like architecture, aeronautical and graphics design,
engineering, the coast guard, and many others include the use of area and perimeter on a regular
basis. With some of these careers it is crucial to know and understand the importance of these
topics. These topics will also be important for them to understand one day when they need to remodel,
buy, or build a new home because they will want to get the maximum use of their house.

KEY QUESTIONS:

-What is the formula to calculate area?

-What is the formula to calculate perimeter?
-What is the formula to calculate a square?
-What is the formula to calculate a triangle?
-What is the formula to calculate a parallelogram?
-What is the formula to calculate a circle?
-What is the formula to calculate composite shapes?

ACTIVITIES:

Mathletics: Students have 4 sections on area and 5 sections on circles that they must complete by the
end of this unit. (Summative of Learning)

Booklet: Students have assigned pages that must be completed prior to the unit test. (Summative of
Learning)

Unit Test: At the end of the unit we will have a test covering area and perimeter of squares, triangles,
parallelograms, circles and composite shapes. There will be multiple choice and short answer questions.

- right rectangular prisms
- right triangular prisms
- right cylinders to solve problems.
Reasoning [R]
- develop mathematical reasoning
Visualization [V]
- develop visualization skills to assist in processing
information, making connections and solving
problems

Grade 9:
Space and Shape: Describe the characteristics
of 3-D objects and 2-D shapes, and analyze the
relationships among them.
2. Determine the surface area of composite 3-D
objects to solve problems

Stage 2 – Assessment Evidence

Pre-Assessment
Exit Slip: Have a question on the board for students to answer.
Discussion: Ask questions like
- What is area?
- What is perimeter?
- How do you calculate area?
- How do you calculate perimeter?

Quizzes, Tests, Assignments Performance Tasks, Projects

Assignments:
Mathletics: Students have 4 sections on area
and 5 sections on circles that they must
complete by the end of this unit. (Summative
of Learning)

Booklet: Students have assigned pages that

must be completed prior to the unit test.
(Summative of Learning)

Test:
Unit Test: At the end of the unit we will have a
test covering area and perimeter of squares,
triangles, parallelograms, circles and composite
shapes. There will be multiple choice and short
answer questions.

Other Evidence (observations, work samples, Student self-assessment

dialogues)
Booklet: We periodically do self-
assessment/marking of the pages in the
booklet so that students know if they
understand the concepts or if they need extra
help.
Once a week, there will be an exit slip that
must be completed in order for me to gauge
the understanding of students.
Mathletics: Students will self asses their own
understanding using Mathletics as it marks their work
instantly. As well, it give their corresponding grade a
color (red-redo, yellow-proficient, green-total
understanding) which helps students see what areas
that they need work in.
