QaD Teacher Support Materials Focus: Develop skills at interpreting geometric diagrams and using them to solve problems. Instructions Remember to download the Weekly Class Report and use it to help plan the 15 20 minute Weekly Follow-up lesson. Use the Weekly Class Report to determine which group students will be in for the Suggested Activities (score 0 or 1 = Red, score 2 or 3 = Yellow, score 4 or 5 = Green). Please refer to the QaD Teacher Guide, and also the Using the Teacher Support Materials Video to assist you in understanding and using the Weekly Class Report and the Teacher Support Materials. QaD Weekly Questions These are the questions completed by the students this week. Please refer to these as you look at the Weekly Class Report. Each student will also need a copy of these questions. Misconceptions Information (by Day) Use these with the Weekly Questions and the Weekly Class Report to better understand student errors. What TIMSS content and skills are assessed by Thursday s question? This table shows the content and skills that Thursday s question assesses.

Follow-up Lesson (15-20 minutes) 1. Introduction (whole class): a) Introduce the focus of the Lesson: Develop skills at interpreting geometric diagrams and using them to solve problems and remind students that the Question-a-Day questions they did over the last week were related to interpreting geometric diagrams. b) Go through the Vocabulary and explain the meaning of all words listed c) Go through the Remember! points and remind students of what they need to do when answering questions. Vocabulary Parallel lines Perpendicular lines Any two lines that are exactly the same distance apart along their entire lengths Any two lines that cross at an angle of exactly 90 Remember! Read the question carefully Look for clue words must Read all the answers Eliminate impossible or unlikely answers. 2. Suggested Activities (in colour groups): Red (score 0 or 1) Yellow (score 2 or 3) Green (score 4 or 5) 1. Read through Sunday and Monday questions. For Sunday question, why 1. Read through Tuesday question. Ask students why B is incorrect? 1. Read through Wednesday question. Ask students to explain their is A correct? Why are the other answers incorrect? For Monday question allow the students to explain their answer. 2. Students work in pairs (or larger groups) and complete Red Group Worksheet. For angles question, remind students of the rules that they can use to find unknown angles. For shapes with more sides such as the 5-sided shape have them try and break this shape up intro triangles. For area question, encourage students to identify all of the parts of the shape triangles and rectangles and then determine the area of these parts 2. Students work in pairs (or larger groups) and complete Yellow Group Worksheet. For angles question, remind students of the rules that they can use to find unknown angles. For shapes with more sides such as the 5-sided shape have them try and break this shape up intro triangles. For area question, encourage students to break this shape up into smaller parts rectangles and triangles. answers. 2. Students work in pairs (or larger groups) and complete Green Group Worksheet. For angles question, remind students of the rules that they can use to find unknown angles. For shapes with more sides such as the 5-sided shape have them try and break this shape up intro triangles. For hexagon questions, remind students of the definition of a rhombus For the area question, encourage students to break the shape up into smaller parts rectangles. The solution includes an algebraic approach but students can solve this by inspection.
3. Explicit instruction in solving the QaD Thursday question (whole class): The following provides a suggested step-by-step approach to solving Thursday s question. Read the Thursday question aloud to all students. Then use a question-answer approach to go through the problem. Teacher: Students: Teacher: Students: Teacher: Students: (5) Teacher: Students: Teacher: Students: Teacher: What do we have to find? (the surface area of a prism) What information do we have? (a net for the prism, with some lengths marked) How can we do this? We don t need to know anything about the prism. (Although, we can fold this net up into a triangular prism). A net represents all of the faces of a particular prism. The surface area of a prism is the total combined area of all of the faces. So, we should be able to calculate the area of each face of the net and then add them all together. How many faces area there? What shapes are the faces? (3 rectangles and 2 triangle) What are the lengths of the rectangles? (4 cm 8 cm, 5 cm 8 cm, and 3 cm 8 cm) So, what are the areas of the rectangles? Students: (32 cm 2, 40 cm 2, and 24 cm 2 ) Teacher: Students: Teacher: Students: Teacher: What are the base and height lengths of the triangles? (They are both 3 cm 4 cm) So, what are the areas of the triangles? (6 cm 2 each) So, what is the total area of the net? Students: (32 + 40 + 24 + 6 + 6 = 108 cm 2 ) Teacher: Which is option C.
