Assignment #11

 

 

  1. Develop a lesson that you would use in a grade 10 (Geometry) classroom based on section 8.3 on similar polygons. You might imagine the following scenario. Suppose you teach in a district that uses this textbook and the department guidelines suggest that the section be taught over two days. In addition, you are going to be observed by your assistant principal the first day and have to submit a formal lesson plan prior to the observation.


Use the lesson plan outline and the associated pages you were given this week as resources. The students should be assigned homework each day. The lesson plan should be for a single 45-minute class. The second day's lesson can be summarized in a paragraph or two (not a second lesson plan), but you should include the assignment for that day as well. Any pages or materials that you refer to need to be developed for the lesson should be included with the plan. For purposes of this lesson we will assume that computers are not available, but you have access to whatever manipulatives or other materials that you need including graphing calculators. You should use the new state standards (NYS Core Curriculum Pre-K to Grade 12 link on course webpage) when writing your objectives despite the Math A example in #4 on the outline. Lastly, the lesson should conform to the vision of mathematics teaching that we have been discussing and experiencing throughout the semester.
