Geometry in the real-world

Novice Mathematician: Defining CONCEPT(S) Vocabulary basic multiplication, division, addition, algebra finding area of basic shapes see the connection of geometry to the real-world Supporting DETAILS students will be able to understand vocabulary words and define them in the proper contexts they will also be able to relate vocabulary to math symbols Practicing Mathematician: Defining CONCEPT(S) solve problems identify key vocabulary in context explanations of problem solving find patterns of geometry in the real-world Supporting DETAILS read simple problems and identify the key vocabulary (ie-polyhedron/ prism/vertex/edge) explain the meaning of the context and tie to mathematical operations (iefinding the surface area of a cylinder or triangular prism by breaking it up into parts) use key concepts to apply them to the 'bigger picture' (ie- finding the area of a triangle, the area of a rectangle, adding them up to find the surface area of a triangular prism) they should be able to make a connection that geometry is useful in various fields and careers explain how concrete models are scale representatives of real-world examples Supporting DETAILS read word problems and know what to do using key terms and algebraic skills apply real world applications and go through to understand the meaning of why it works that way (ie- why should a welder need to know how to find the surface area of a cylinder) explain their problem solving skills using math terms in the right context identify math symbols, operations, and vocabulary to solve problems within a variety of realistic problem contexts (ie- as a welder, find the volume of the cylinder to figure out how much a water tank could hold) explain how concrete models represent real-world examples and relate how a professional uses scale representations (what does this scale model represent? a mock water tank- why would a welder use this? To calculate the surface area of a scale representation and calculate how much materials they would need to use) Expert Mathematician: Defining CONCEPT(S) apply real world problems and word problems notice connections across curriculum explanations of problem solving with word problems

- iemeans multiplication - letters next to each other represent multiplication they should be able to find the area of basic shapes (ierectangles, triangles, circles)

they should be able to apply basic algebraic and numeracy concepts in real-world problems (ie- finding the area of a circle in a word problemsprinkler's area) use concrete models to discover geometric concepts (ie- surface area of a cylinder as a welder)
