Subject:         Math

Class:             V

Chapter:        Polygons

Topic:Area and Perimeter

Activity:         Area and Perimeter Builder

Objectives:    The student should be able to:

• explore what happens to the measurement of a two-dimensional shape such as its perimeter and area when the shape is changed
• build and draw geometric shapes and comp[are its perimeter and area.
• identifyreal-life situations in which area and perimeter are usefully applied.

Resources required: computer (1 computer for assigned group students), Internet connection with access to PhET simulation, a photocopy paper.

Information input:

The area is the amount of two-dimensional space taken up by the object. It is measured in square units. A perimeter is the total boundary of the two-dimensional shape. If you want to provide fencing around the entire field you need its perimeter. Suppose you want to lay a pathway inside the field to keep a watch on your field you need its perimeter. The units of the perimeter are, cm, m, etc.

Instructions: (20 minutes)

1.      Read the chapter and understand the content

2.      Use the google search engine and type in “PhET Simulations” in the search text box or use the link https://phet.colorado.edu/en/simulation/area-builder

8.      Click on the minus   button on the top center of the simulation board

9.      Drag 1 tile in the simulation board and estimate its area and perimeter.

10.  Record your estimation in worksheet 1.1

11.  Then construct a square using 4 tiles in the simulation board.

12.  Estimate its area and perimeter.

13.  Now take 2 tiles and repeat step 11.

14.  Repeat step 11 with 3 tiles

15.  Repeat step 11 with 4 tiles.

16.  Click on the plus    button on the top center of the simulation board

17.  Now turn on the button on the left corner of the simulation board.

18.  Repeat step 8 and compare your estimation with the reading given in the simulation board.

19.  Go back to table 1.1. Record the readings given in the simulation board.

Follow up activity (15 minutes)

Discuss in groups why perimeter and area are not the same.

1.      Construct a triangle in the simulation board using ten tiles.

2.      Measure its area and perimeter.

Assessment procedures

Go through the worksheet 1.1

Use the following checklist during the lesson

Sl. No	Group name	Write the value of the shapes in the space given below			Real value
			Estimation of area	Estimation of perimeter
1		Drag 1 tile
2		Drag 2 tiles
3		Drag 3 tiles
4		Drag 4 tiles

Lesson Closure

The lesson will be closed by asking some questions to recapitulate the session taught.

What are the area and perimeter?

Expected answer:The area is the amount of two-dimensional space taken up by the object. It is measured in square units.

A perimeter is the total boundary of the two-dimensional shape. If you want to provide fencing around the entire field you need its perimeter

Will a shape has equal area and perimeter?

Expected answer: No, it will not have equal area and perimeter

Google classroom

 Google Classroom

Google Classroom is a free web service developed by Google for schools that aim to simplify creating, distributing and grading assignments in a paperless way. Students can be invited to join a class through a private code, or automatically imported from a school domain. Google Classroom combines Google drive for assignment creation and distribution, Google docs, google sheets and google slides for writing, g-mail for communication, and google calendar for scheduling. Students can be invited to join a class through a private code, or automatically imported from a school domain. Where the student can submit work easily without wasting the time. Teachers can monitor the progress for each student, and after being graded, teachers can return work along with comments through Google classroom

Google classroom also helps teacher to grade the student’s assignments on Google's suite of productivity applications that allow collaboration between the teacher and the student or student to student. Instead of sharing documents that reside on the student's Google Drive with the teacher, files are hosted on the student's Drive and then submitted for grading. Teachers may choose a file that can then be treated as a template so that every student can edit their own copy and then turn back in for a grade instead of allowing all students to view, copy, or edit the same document. Students can also choose to attach additional documents from their Drive to the assignment.

Google classroom is another constructive tool for teaching and learning to the students where students don’t need to wait for teachers to come and teach the class. They can join Google classroom as soon as they had time and internet. A student doesn’t need to worry about their books which are misplaced. Teachers can monitor the progress for each student, and after being graded, teachers can return work, with comments. Therefore, Google classroom is effective way for classroom teaching and engagement for the 21^st century classroom setting where students can able to construct their own meaning while they learn something. 

Personally think that to make students better learner it is very important to use Google classroom strategy instead of focusing on traditional method of teaching. If we use the Google classroom there is lots of benefits for the students provides with exposure to an online learning system. And we can also able to go for Paperless, Save Time, Communication, Collaborate and able to engage the students in learning.

How to create Camtasia video

 

Camtasia is a software suite, created and published by Techsmith, for creating video tutorials and presentations directly through screen cast, or direct recording plug into micro soft power point. Its basic function is to record video of our computer’s screen or portion of a screen. From this lesson I have learned how to do screen recording using camtasia. Screen recording mainly helps in tracing the steps or process if we are learning new concept.

For example, if the tutor teaches us how to create Google classroom, primarily the steps, it is always better if we can do screen recording along with the tutor in the classroom rather than writing notes in the book.  We can refer and use that recorded package for longer duration. It makes live easy for the people having less memory retention.

In camtasia, we can insert any kind of video, music, pictures, and captions to make attractive presentation or movie. We can record our own voice, spilt, and join whenever it is necessary. It is flexible software through which we can take out unwanted stuff to look/hear much better. It has numerous features whereby we can create quiz along with the video. It is fun learning.Being as a future educationist I strongly felt that, we need to use this software in teaching and learning in the classroom.

Now with the shift of paradigm we can use camtasia while teaching. Children will always learn better when they can see their learning visually attractive. We teach value through the video. Not only that we can also assess have students had learning through camtasia as it involved certain features like quiz and questionnaires. In such cases it also helps in creating constructive class because students have control over the lesson by taking part in the quiz.

 If we impart the knowledge of camtasia usage to students, they can record whatever they learnt in the software. It will help them in future reference without having to visit teachers’ frequently. It also helps in teaching students with various method such as showing video, power point presentation, video tutoring and so on. It is important to integrate technology into teaching and learning to enhance students’ learning.
