| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

This lesson is aligned with the Ontario Mathematics Curriculum expectations for Grade 5, specifically focusing on measurement and geometry.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction | 5 mins | Briefly introduce the concept of area. Discuss with students where they see rectangles in real life. Use examples like rooms, books, etc. |
| 2 | Direct Instruction | 10 mins | Explain the formula for calculating the area of rectangles. Show examples on the whiteboard. Discuss units of measurement. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 10 mins | Distribute grid paper and rulers. Guide students in calculating the area of given rectangles drawn on grid paper. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 10 mins | Hand out area worksheets with different problems. Allow students to work independently to calculate area. |
| 5 | Review and Check Homework | 5 mins | Review the answers to the homework assignment without individual presentations. Discuss common errors and clarifications. |
| 6 | Conclusion and Reflection | 5 mins | Recap the key points learned in the lesson. Pose reflective questions to students about how the area is used in daily life. |
Assign students to find and measure the area of three different rectangular objects at home. They will write the dimensions and area calculation in their notebooks for the next class. Check homework without presentations to streamline the process.
