Subject      :  Mathematics                                Duration                       : 45’
 Unit           :  Area of Quadrilaterals                Date         :      14.06.2014
 Topic          :   Area of a parallelogram
 
Curricular Statement
Students understand the properties of a parallelogram and the formula for finding its area. They apply their knowledge to find out the area of parallelograms.
Content Analysis
          Terms         : Parallelogram, triangle, area, congruent, diagonal, height, base
            Facts             : 1) Opposite sides of a parallelogram are parallel.
                                      2) Opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.
                                      3) Diagonal divides a parallelogram into two equal triangles.
 4) Area of a parallelogram is the sum of area of those two equal triangles.


          Concept     : Area of a Parallelogram
          Formula     : Area of a parallelogram = product of base and height
                                                                                    = b x h
                                                            b – length of a side, h – length of a side to its opposite side
Process      : We can divide a parallelogram into two triangles by drawing a diagonal. By adding the area of these two triangles we get the area of a parallelogram.
Learning Outcome
            Remembering: recalls the information about quadrilaterals, parallelogram and their properties
                                         recognize how to find the area of a quadrilateral
                                         finds out the area of a parallelogram
            Understanding: explains how to find the area of a parallelogram
                                          Classify between the areas of different quadrilaterals
            Applying: use information about area of a parallelogram in relevant situations
            Analyzing: compares the areas of different quadrilaterals
                                Finds out the similarity between the areas of different quadrilaterals

Evaluating: justify the area of a parallelogram
                                 Judge the area of a parallelogram
Creating: generate new ideas about area of a parallelogram
Pre-requisites

Pupil’s response

Introduction

To test the previous knowledge of the students teacher shows models of triangles and asks some questions:

1)    What are the properties of a triangle?
2)    What is the formula for finding the area of a triangle?

Teacher now divides the students into groups and give model of two congruent triangle to each group and ask to check whether the given triangle are congruent or not.
