SAMUEL’S LESSON PLAN (long form)
SUBJECT: Volume NAME: Samuel Cady Rationale for selecting the learning outcomes: To demonstrate what volume is and how it relates to area. Also Seeing the effects of measurement changes or alteration. DATE:Oct 1, 2011TIME ALLOTTED: 30 Minutes ORGANIZATION: small group/whole class __Objectives__ (from NC Standard Course of Study): Number and Operations, Measurement, Geometry, Data Analysis and Probability, Algebra. Competency Goal 2. Objective 2.01 __Student Learning Outcomes__: At the end of this lesson, students __will__: be able to apply measurements to the volume equation. be able to explain how measurement changes effect volume. __Teaching Mode__:Direct __Provision for Individual Differences__: Students will be given worksheets and plastic models to better visualize the problem they are working on. Information will be given out verbally and visually on the white board before each problem. __Teaching Strategy(ies)__(list) -Make sure all students are involved in their groups. -Make sure your instructions are clear for all students. -Optimize the use of the plastic models in demonstrating the information. *************************************************************************************************** __LESSON ACTIVITIES__(COMPLETE 1-8) STEP 1.Anticipatory Set:(Motivation/Assessment of Prior Knowledge) How do we find area and do you think we can find volume? ( List the opinion on the board and give out positive encouragement for making an attempt at figuring it out.) STEP 2.Overview of learning outcomes to pupils: By the end of the day, each of you will be able to find the volume of six standard shapes. STEP 3.Input of information: Mini lecture using the plastic models and drawing on the white board. STEP 4.Modeling/Examples: As a class solve for the volume of a square as an example. STEP 5.Checking for Understanding: answer any questions that students might have after the first example. STEP 6.Guided Practice: Distribute the plastic models and worksheets to the class. Students will try to work out the volume for a new shape based on the information given from the mini lecture. After that they will get in their groups to discuss what they each got and how they got their answer. If times allowed have the groups work on one model together and explain it to the class as a group. STEP 7.Independent Practice:(Assignment may be part of closure - Step 8) Have the students take home the worksheet from class and have them present their answers in class the next day. STEP 8.Closure/ “Opensure”: talk about a certain problem the class may have struggled with in class to be sure they have complete clarity on it. __Materials needed for this lesson__: plastic models, worksheets
