Grade 6

Unit Overview

Main Idea (Claim) Summative Assessment

Students will identify Tests

parallelogram and trapezoids
and solve problems

Guiding Questions Objectives (know/understand/do/value)

What is parallelogram They will be able to find the area of a parallelogram

and Trapezoids?
How do they look like?
and trapezoids.
Use formula to find the area of parallelograms given
its base and height
Use a formula to find the area of a trapezoid, given
its bases and height.

Time Instructional Procedures and Strategies

15 min Beginning the Lesson:

Devotion( short prayer)
Recall Prior Knowledge by asking them questions
Identify rectangle, square, Parallelograms,
trapezoids, and rhombuses by drawing them
on the board

Developing the Lesson:

20 min
Let students draw them on their own and tell them to
compare with the partner's drawing and see how
different they are from each other.( Checking
students work)
Let them know the properties of parallelogram and
trapezoids.( This can help students to solve problems
later)
Check for understanding by asking questions to the
students. You may ask some smart students to
volunteer and explain it to the class.
 Now, find the area of parallelogram. Show and solve
it on the white board and let students ask questions if
they dont understand.
For trapezoids also, make sure they know the
properties and then give them formula.
Then show the example of finding an area of
trapezoids on the white board. (Make sure students
do not have problem identifying the base of the
trapezoid.
Ask some students to volunteer and solve some
problems on the white board. While doing this the
teacher may go to the desk of the weak students and
volunteer them and check for understanding.
10 min

Closing the Lesson:

1. Review and ask question for checking an
understanding
2. Give students Homework from their Math
