7. Time To Examine TE’s • Look in the chapter planner. List the benchmarks that are to be taught in this chapter. • Note specific content that will be taught. • Examine the “Teaching for Depth” component that appears in the beginning of each chapter. Share information that you think is essential. • Review the chapter. List any content or vocabulary that appears to be unfamiliar.

8. WHAT IS TEACHING TO DEPTH OF UNDERSTANDING

10. Today’s workshop will focus on the following benchmarks and concepts:

11. BIG IDEA 3 MA.4.G.3.1 Describe and determine area as the number of same-sized units that cover a region in the plane, recognizing that a unit square is the standard unit for measuring area. MA.4.G.3.2 Justify the formula for the area of the rectangle "area = base x height". MA.4.G.3.3 Select and use appropriate units, both customary and metric, strategies, and measuring tools to estimate and solve real-world area problems.

15. Mr. Clark hired workers to construct an in-ground pool in his backyard. For which of the following situations might the workers have used the area formula when constructing the pool? a. determining the amount of water needed to fill the pool b. determining the amount of fencing to put around the pool c. determining the amount of ground the bottom of the pool will cover d. determining the amount of dirt that will need to be dug for the pool

17. Mr. Hanson is getting new carpet in his classroom. Which is the best estimate of the total amount of carpet needed to cover the entire floor of a classroom? a. 6 square feet c. 600 square feet b. 6 square inches d. 600 square inches Lana bought a patch in the shape of an “L” to sew onto the back of her denim jacket. The size of the patch is shown below. Using the provided ruler, what is the area, in square centimeters, of Lana’s patch?
