EDCP 342A Unit planning: Rationale and overview for planning a 3 to 4 week unit of work in secondary school mathematics Your name: Ashley Tam School, grade & course: Sir Charles Tupper Secondary School, Grade 8/9, Surface area and volume Topic of unit: Surface area and volume Preplanning questions: (1) Why do we teach this unit to secondary school students? Research and talk about the following: Why is this topic included in the curriculum? Why is it important that students learn it? What learning do you hope they will take with them from this?

The objects students deal with are shapes they may see in their everyday life and thus they provide a relevant real world connection to mathematics. Allowing this connec...
