Subject: T3 Math Final Date: 5.29.2014 Assessment Tool/CFA: teacher created assessments using Illuminate, curriculum resources____ Standard/Essential Learning: 5.MD.5a and b: a: Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole- number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication; b: Apply the formulas V= l x w x h and V = b x h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems. SMART Goal: Plan: By the end of T3, students will increase their first assessment score by 20% OR 80% of students will achieve 80% Proficiency when finding the volume of rectangular prisms by using unit cubes and the appropriate formula and applying the use of the formula to find volume in the context of real world and mathematical problems.

An understanding of the basic concept of what volume is and how it is found. Application of this knowledge. Why didnt they get it? Not clear on concept of volume; mistakes in multiplication Why didnt they get it? Not clear on the concept of volume; mistakes in calculations and the measurements to use
Next Steps: Move these students to graphing coordinates on a four quadrant coordinate grid and graphing equations. Next Steps: Use manipulatives to illustrate volume and tie to formula Next Steps: Use manipulatives to illustrate volume and tie to volume formula; review multi-digit multiplication
Reflections: The students made good progress and the use of manipulatives were important for the concept of volume to be understood.
