Lesson Plan PYRAMID

Lesson Information

Subject:	Mathematics
Grade Level:	7
Duration:	1 to 2 lessons
Technology setting:	computer/ tablets for students, computer and projector for teacher

Topic

Pyramid - Recognising a pyramid and its net and calculate its surface area.

Learning Outcomes

Students know the characteristics of pyramids and are aware of the differences between a pyramid, a cube and a cuboid. Students know how the nets of squared pyramids look like. Students can calculate the surface area of a squared pyramid.

Lesson Objectives and Assessment

Lesson Objectives Studens elaborate a mathematical problem on their own. Assessment Review of the task "model of a pyramid" by the teacher.

Teaching Strategies

Sequence:

Introduction into GeoGebra (10 min)
Students edit the worksheets in this book. ( 30 -50 min) (Starting with simple materials, since the students are not familiar with GeoGebra jet.)
Next the students have to complete the task "model of a pyramid" (10 - 30 min) Therefor they get one pyramid out of different models. They have to measure it, make a graphic presentation, insert a suitable dimensioning, describe the pyramid and calculate its surface area. This task will be done during the lesson and will be evaluated by the teacher. Practical relevance and the use of suitable measuring instruments are importent in this task. Questions can be answered individually.
Opportunity for differentiation: additional models (f.i. pyramids with different bases)

Technology Integration

This lesson plan can be used for students with no or little experience with GeoGebra, since there is hardly any prior knowledge needed. The worksheets are simple and self-explanatory in usage. Students who have already had computer lessons, should not have problems with this technology setting. If there are problems with this technology setting anyway, you have alternative options:

Team teaching: A second teacher can help to support students individually.
Plenum: Worksheets that are to hard can be discussed with the whole class. Therefor the projector should be used.

Surface ares of a squared pyramid

Three tasks on the topic solids for secondary school.

1. Lateral surface and surface of a squared pyramid

5.1.

Lateral surface and surface of a squared pyramid

Surface area of a squared pyramid

1. A squared pyramid with base line a = 4cm and height h = 5cm is given. Calculate the lateral surface and the surface of the pyramid. An arbitrary squared pyramid with base line a and height h is given. 1. Find a formula to calculate the area of polygon 1 and 2! 2. How do you get the lateral surface and the surface of the pyramid using polygon 2?
