Introduction to the Module Concept Development Module Review
(1 minute)
We will begin by exploring the module overview to understand the purpose of this module. Then we will dig in to the math of the module. We’ll lead you through the teaching sequence, one concept at a time. Along the way, we’ll also examine the other lesson components and how they function in collaboration with the concept development. Finally, we’ll take a look back at the module, reflecting on all the parts as one cohesive whole.
Let’s get started with the module overview.

(8 minutes)
Let’s take a look at the End-of-Module Assessment: questions 1 and 5. Count off at your table 1,2,1,2... , so that half of you will complete question 1, and the other half will complete question 5.
Locate the questions in your additional materials and complete your assigned question independently. When everyone at your table is finished, the 1’s should discuss their question (question 1), and the 2’s should discuss their question (question 5)*.
(*Remind participants that they may spend time outside of this session completing the entire assessment and analyzing the sample student responses and rubric.)

Key Points
Students utilize and build upon their previous understanding of composition and decomposition from Grades 1 – 5.
Area and volume are additive.
Students determine the formulas for area from their knowledge of the area of a rectangle and how it can be composed and decomposed.
Students use their prior knowledge of Module 2 to calculate the volume of right rectangular prisms with unit cubes with fractional lengths.
Students use their prior knowledge of Module 3 to determine area and surface area of polygons through distance calculations.
Students use their prior knowledge of Module 4 to use equations to determine missing angles, as well as to use formulas for area, volume, and surface area.
Students apply formulas to real-life contexts and distinguish between the need to find surface area or volume within contextual situations.
(5 minutes)
Let’s review some key points of this session. I would like each tables’ members to take one minute to write down a key point from today’s session. Then, each table will share out.
