Prior knowledge formula: Area = Length times Width Students should discover the following formula for finding the surface area of a rectangular prism: Math formula for the surface area of a rectangular prism: 2lh + 2lw + 2wh, or 2(lh + lw = wh) l = length; h = height; w = width |
As students enter the classroom, the teacher will hand each student a colored card. Students will be assigned to groups according to the color of the card. Students should be in groups of four. Before: (Activate prior knowledge) 3 to 5 minutes Handout a t-chart for students to list and sort two-dimensional and three-dimensional examples. Show video on two-dimensional and three-dimensional examples. ( examples of 24 nets) During: (Actively engage students) The teacher give the students the two performance tasks:
Follow the steps to complete the performance task.

Printable nets: 2D patterns for 3D shapes This interactive tool allows you to learn about various geometric solids and their properties. You can manipulate and color each shape to explore the number of faces, edges, and vertices. Writing Component: After students have completed Performance Task III, they can write message to their classmates and put their message in the boxes. |
Intervention: |
Video on 2-D patterns and the 3-D shapes they create. This is a Youtube video. If the school system blocks Youtube videos, the teacher may download the video for free at keepvid.com. Videos, worksheets, stories and songs to help Grade 5 to Grade 8 students learn how to draw and recognize nets for 3-dimensional shapes. |
