LESSON PLAN

DITHEJWANE JUNIOR SECONDARY SCHOOL

DATE: 19/08/2024

TIME: 30minutes

CLASS: F1

SUBJECT: Mathematics

TOPIC AREA: Volume

GENERAL OBJECTIVES: Understand and use formulae or volume

MATERIALS: Whiteboard markers, and manilas

OBJECTIVES: At the end of the lesson students should be able to;

 Solve problems involving practical application of cube, cuboid, rectangular prism, triangular prism and cylinder

RATIONALE: knowledge on solving problems involving practical application will help the student’s;

 Critical Thinking skills by applying knowledge of geometric formulas, relationships and properties to solve problems
creatively and strategically.

PREVIOUS KNOWLEDGE/EXPERIENCE: Pupils already have knowledge about how to calculate volume of prisms and the
cylinder.

Real-life examples of calculating the volume of prisms and cylinders, along with the context of how this might be used:

1. Rectangular Prism: Packaging

Problem: A company wants to package a new toy in a that's 20 cm long, 15 cm wide, and 10 cm high. How much space will the box
take up? (This is the volume).
Solution:
Volume = 20 cm * 15 cm * 10 cm = 3000 cm³

2. A tent is designed as a triangular prism. Its base is a right triangle with legs of 8 feet and 15 feet, and the tent is 10 feet tall. How
much air can the tent hold? (This is the tent's volume).
Solution:
1. Area of right triangle: (1/2) * 8 ft * 15 ft = 60 ft²
2. Volume of triangular prism: 60 ft² * 10 ft = 600 ft³
Exercise
1. A fish tank is a cube with a side length of 30 cm. How much water can the tank hold? (This is the tank's volume).

2. A cylindrical water tank has a diameter of 4 meters and a height of 6 meters. How much water can the tank hold?

3. You have a cylindrical drinking glass with a diameter of 8 cm and a height of 12 cm. How much liquid can the glass hold?
