· Writing Assignment (50 points) Following the description in the reading assignment "Common Core: Solve Math Problems,” select one end-of-lesson assessment problem that is rich and representative of the bulk of the concepts in the standard 5.MD.5 . Develop three different stations in three different ways—concretely, representationally, and abstractly. Include a description of what will be happening in each station.
a. Find the volume of a right rectangular prism with whole-number side lengths by packing it with unit cubes, and show that the volume is the same as would be found by multiplying the edge lengths, equivalently by multiplying the height by the area of the base. Represent threefold whole-number products as volumes, e.g., to represent the associative property of multiplication.
b. Apply the formulas V = l × w × h and V = b × h for rectangular prisms to find volumes of right rectangular prisms with whole-number edge lengths in the context of solving real world and mathematical problems.
c. Recognize volume as additive. Find volumes of solid figures composed of two non-overlapping right rectangular prisms by adding the volumes of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems
Create a math assessment problem that you would use to measure mastery of a lesson on this standard (all of your math work will be based on this standard). *This problem will most likely be the final station in this assignment.
Design three stations/tasks that the students will complete to gain understanding and mastery of the concept of measuring volume:
·
·
· Concrete (16 points)--what will you have students do here? Describe the materials, what the students' tasks will be, etc.
· Representational (17 points)--what will the students do at this station? Describe the materials, what the students' task/s will be, etc.
· Abstract (17 points)--what problem will be solved here? Describe the materials, problem, etc.
