University of West Alabama COE 5E Lesson Plan (10 points) Teacher: Mr. Jaamal Elkins Date: 12/03/15 Subject area/course/grade level: Mathematics/Geometry/9 th Grade Materials: Notebook, Pen or Pencil, Computer, protractor, compass, ruler, IPad Standards:
Make formal geometric constructions with a variety of tools and methods such as compass and straightedge, string, reflective devices, paper folding, and dynamic geometric software. Constructions include copying a segment; copying an angle; bisecting a segment; bisecting an angle; constructing perpendicular lines, including the perpendicular bisector of a line segment; and constructing a line parallel to a given line through a point not on the line. Construct an equilateral triangle, a square, and a regular hexagon inscribed in a circle.
Objectives: Students are to learn the following:
How How How How
to to to to
use the computer application Geometry Sketchpad. construct different types of lines by hand and Geometry Sketchpad construct different types of triangles, including right, acute, scalene, etc. create a video using iMovie.
Differentiation Strategies:
Talked to the students about the objectives Give them an activity using technology Show the students a presentation about the assignment Answer any questions Walk around to see if he or she is doing it correctly
ENGAGEMENT: (18 points) I will give each student a warm up exercise on drawing shapes. Each shape will be construct with given properties, like angles, size, lines, etc. The class can eyeball each drawing and estimate the angles and lengths. Assessment
EXPLORATION: (18 points) After the warm up, each student are to go to the math lab and get on a computer. He or she are to go into Geometry Sketchpad and try to figure out how to construct the shapes or lines. This will give everyone an idea on what I will be teaching them today. Assessment Approved January, 2013
EXPLANATION: (18 points) After each student explores it, I will show an instructional video using iMovie on my IPad on what is Geometry Sketchpad. The class should pay close attention on how for later. After the video, I am to clarify the things that the students do not understand. The second part of the lesson is to teach the class how to construct parallel and perpendicular lines using a compass and ruler. Also, everybody will see how to make different types of triangles, including right, equilateral, isosceles, etc. The last part will to show how to make a clip using iMovie on IPad. Assessment
ELABORATION: (18 points) Each student are to create an instructional video using iMovie on how to create a type of lines or a type of triangle. Every student is require to make a clip. It should include how to create one step by step by hand using the compass and ruler and by Geometry Sketchpad. It should be at least two minutes long and have no more than 10 photos. Students are allow to take videos or photos with only their IPad; no cellphones are allow. I should hear a voice over as well; it needs to be at least 30 seconds long. The video has to be submitted to Youtube using Capture. Here is an example:
