This lesson on surface area
requires students to take a
stand and support the stand.
Afterwards, they engage in a
writing task.
Is it true that the surface area
of a box is the area of the
two-dimensional figure
formed when the box is
opened up?
In activity-based lessons, students are
asked to write. In this lesson, they are
asked to write the meaning of the word
random and also how to improve the
experiment.
Questioning techniques by the teacher
Make a summary of information using diagrams and tables
Teacher models reading techniques
Students write in journal
We learn the CPA Approach to
help students learn. In this
example, students use paper cut-
outs to show
(a+b)2 = a2 + b2 + 2ab
and also
a2 + b2 = (a + b)(a – b) .
We learn the use of
Student Journal to
encourage writing and
communication of ideas.
