4. Interdisciplinary Plan Overview
This interdisciplinary unit integrates science and mathematics. The unit is
designed to guide third-grade students in learning more about measurement and
classifying animals. Perimeter and area are attributes of plane shapes that students are
learning to calculate. The students are using multiple strategies to calculate area and
perimeter. They are using the characteristics of animals to classify them into major
groups.

5. Topics
 Measurement
 Perimeter
 Area
 Classification of Animals

6. Standards
 MAFS.3.MD.3.7
 Relate area to the operations of multiplication and addition.
a. Find the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths by tiling it and show that the area is the same as would
be found by multiplying the side lengths.
b. Multiply side lengths to find areas of rectangles with whole-number side lengths in the context of solving real world
and mathematical problems and represent whole-number products as rectangular areas in mathematical reasoning.
c. Use tiling to show in a concrete case that the area of a rectangle with whole-number side lengths a and b + c is the
sum of a × b and a × c. Use area models to represent the distributive property in mathematical reasoning.
d. Recognize area as additive. Find areas of rectilinear figures by decomposing them into non-overlapping rectangles
and adding the areas of the non-overlapping parts, applying this technique to solve real world problems.
 MAFS.3.MD.4.8
 Solve real world and mathematical problems involving perimeters of polygons, including finding the perimeter given
the side lengths, finding an unknown side length, and exhibiting rectangles with the same perimeter and different areas or
with the same area and different perimeters.
 SC.3. L.15.1
 Classify animals into major groups (mammals, birds, reptiles, amphibians, fish, arthropods, vertebrates and
invertebrates, those having live births and those which lay eggs) according to their physical characteristics and behaviors.

(MAFS.3.MD.3.7)

 Sc. Lt. 1. Classify animals into major groups based on their characteristics.

8. Enduring Understandings
 What we measure influences how we measure and the units we use. Measuring helps you
understand the space around you and how to use it effectively.
 Area is the measure of square units in a plane figure with no gaps or overlaps. Perimeter
and area are attributes of shapes.
 Students are recognizing and understanding concepts involving geometric measurements.
They relate area to multiplication and addition and recognize area and perimeter as attributes
of plane shapes.
 Students are also expanding their knowledge of plane figures in mathematics to science.
 Students will understand that all living things are categorized based on their characteristics.

9. Essential Questions
 Why is learning how to measure perimeter and area important in everyday life?
 How can you find or measure perimeter?
 How can you find the area of a plane shape?
 What strategies can you use to find perimeter and area?
 How can you find the unknown length of a side in a plane shape when you know its perimeter?
 How is finding the area of a shape different from finding the perimeter of a shape?
 Why can you multiply to find the area of a rectangle?
 How can you use the strategy “find a pattern” to solve area problems?
 How can you break apart a shape to find the area?
 How can you use area to compare rectangles with the same perimeter?
 How can you use perimeter to compare rectangles with the same area?
 What is the difference between perimeter and area?
 What are the major groups that animals can be classified into?

13. Diagnostic Assessment 2
 As we move forward, I would like to get an idea of some of your interests, if you have family
members working in the construction industry and if you have access to technology at home. This
information will assist me in choosing materials and resources for our lessons and ensure that I can
meet the diverse needs of all my students. I will read the survey questions, and you will circle an
answer. For the last question, you can write down any comments you have.

 Student Survey
1. Do you enjoy mathematics and science class? Yes No
2. What is your favorite subject? Mathematics Science Social Studies E.L.A
3. Do you have a working computer or tablet at home? Yes No
4. Do you have internet access at home? Yes No
5. Do you usually do your homework alone, or do you get help from a family member? Alone With
Someone
6. Is anyone in your family working as a contractor, repairing buildings, laying carpet, tiling floors,
or painting? Yes No

20. Area and Perimeter Nearpod
The Nearpod activity will be completed as a live participation exercise. This
means students will log into their devices and participate in real-time as it is
presented on the smartboard. This activity takes students through all stages
of Bloom’s Taxonomy. Bloom’s Taxonomy indicates that teaching and
assessment processes should move from lower to higher learning domains as
students are guided through a learning experience (Chandio & Solangi, 2021).
They are required to recall information initially and are challenged to apply
the knowledge at the end to solve area and perimeter problems. The
Nearpod reinforces the various strategies taught to calculate area and
perimeter. The activity provides an opportunity for students to practice and
submit work samples with anonymity. This activity also has quizzes, polls, and
assessments embedded that provide students with multiple opportunities to
self-assess. The facilitator’s view allows progress monitoring in real-time. This
information is then used to adjust the curriculum and place students into
groups for intervention and remediation.
