This lesson plan is about different types of triangles and angles, as a review lesson for the students, which progresses into learning about perimeter of a triangle, the Pythagorean Theorem, and the beginning of area or a triangle. The students will start off by playing a bingo game where they will have to select the correct items that are called out by me. Then the students will move on to brainstorming about triangles and angles. Next on the back side of the students' bingo sheet they will draw and illustrate all of the triangles and angles they had seen on the bingo sheet. Then I will explain to the students that adding up each side of the triangle gives them the perimeter of the triangle. Students will do a write around by passing a paper around the group plugging in numbers from the triangle they have been given so they can find the perimeter. After the students practice a little with the perimeter I will draw a triangle on the board with each side labelled with a number except for one side. I will then go into explaining what the Pythagorean Theorem is. The students will be given a worksheet about the Pythagorean Theorem, which they will work on during the class period so they have some practice. The students will share their answers with their peers to be sure that they are correct. Lastly I will explain to the students what the formula for area is and they will use this formula to draw and illustrate what they learned about area. Having the students draw and illustrate will help them to visualize what they need to do. Then having students brainstorm may allow them to internalize the word and or concepts they need to know.
