Lesson Plan – Containers Objectives and Habits of Mind Level 4 - To accurately measure the length, width and height of containers to the nearest mm. Level 5– To find the area of a rectangular face. Level 6 – To find the surface area and volume of cuboids. Level 7- To find the surface area and volume of cylinders and triangular prisms. I can work well in a group, listening attentively and taking on different roles when needed. I can negotiate and follow ground rules, to ensure fairness and cooperation when working with others. I can identify the best information to help complete a task and put it into my own words. Keywords: Area, Base, Height, Formula Surface Area, Volume Mental and Oral Starter Show pupils the pictures of the containers. Ask them to write down on their mini whiteboards and facts that they would be able to tell you if they were able to measure the containers. Main Activity In their groups pupils to select different containers to work on, they should measure the dimensions using rulers of tape measures and calculate surface area and volume. They should show all their working out using boxing up. Plenary Pupils to reflect on the success criteria for the Habits of Mind and Maths Objectives
