Cooperative learning Describe Activity: Students will work with partners to complete the patty paper exploration activity. Setting objectives and providing feedback Describe Activity: Generating and testing hypotheses Describe Activity: Students will complete the patty paper exploration activity. Cues, questions, and advance organizers Describe Activity: Students will use a foldable to compile properties of all quadrilaterals. Each fold will have a Bubble Thinking Map to describe the properties. Novelty and variety Describe Activity: Students will be completing a exploration activity while taking notes in a foldable format (nontraditional). Authenticity Describe Activity: The free-response questions due at the end of the unit provide students with a real-world and authentic learning experience. part v: Procedures Teacher Actions Student Actions Materials/Resources (including technology) Time Warm up/Activating Prior Knowledge/Emotional Hook Guide students through patty paper investigation. Students will complete a patty paper assignment with a partner to fill in Bubble Thinking Map of characteristics. “Guided Investigation 6.2” (Rhombus) “Guided Investigation 6.3” (Rectangle) 4 pc of Patty Paper Ruler Compass Foldable notes* *see attachments in unit plan binder 20 min (10 min per shape) Teacher Input Smartboard presentation of complete list of properties for rectangles & rhombii. Teacher guides students through completion of examples of applying properties to problems. Students fill missing properties into their foldable. Students come to board to identify properties in the picture example. Students copy and complete examples of applying properties to problems. Foldable notes* Notebooks *see attachments in unit plan binder 30 min (15 min per shape) Guided Student Practice Assign “Properties of Rectangles, Rhombuses, and Squares” worksheet (rectangles & rhombuses only). Walk around the room to help students. Students work on “Properties of Rectangles, Rhombuses, and Squares” worksheet (rectangles & rhombuses only). “Properties of Rectangles, Rhombuses, and Squares” worksheet* *see attachments in unit plan binder 15 min
Students ask questions. Independent Student Practice Assign Homework: Textbook Pg 379 # 8-38 even, 42 Complete Homework: Textbook Pg 379 # 8-38 even, 42 Textbook N/A Lesson Synthesis through Review (with opportunity to Analyze, Evaluate, and Create) Walk around the room to guide students through filling in the Double Bubble Thinking Map to compare and contrast properties of a rectangle and a rhombus. Students fill in a Double Bubble Thinking Map to compare and contrast properties of a rectangle and a rhombus. Free-response questions due at the end of the unit Accelerated Math quadrilateral objectives Double Bubble Thinking Map* Free-response question packet* Accelerated Math quadrilateral objective packet* *see attachments in unit plan binder 10 min PART VI: PRE-PLANNED GUIDING QUESTIONS Bloom’s Level Question Exemplars (Specific to Unit) Acceptable Student Responses (Must Match Level of Questioning) Knowledge Identify the properties of the rectangle (or rhombus) on the exit pass. Rectangle: diagonals congruent, four right angles Rhombus: diagonals bisect opposite angles, all sides congruent, diagonals perpendicular Comprehension Compare the lengths of the two diagonals (rectangle). The diagonals are congruent. Application Illustrate each property in a picture of a rectangle (or rhombus). The picture must be a rectangle (or rhombus) with the properties listed above appropriately labeled. Analysis How do the diagonals divide the angles of the rhombus? Opposite angles are bisected by diagonals. Synthesis Use the Double Bubble Thinking Map to compare and contrast the properties of rectangles and rhombi. Similarities: properties of parallelograms Differences: diagonals congruent in rectangle, four right angles in rectangle, diagonals bisect opposite angles in rhombi, diagonals are perpendicular in rhombi, and all sides are congruent in rhombi Evaluation What else do you think is true about rhombuses? Opposite angles are bisected, diagonals are perpendicular, all sides congruent PART VII: TEACHER SELF-EVALUATION AND REFLECTION ON LESSON PLANNING AND DELIVERY Strengths of Lesson Opportunities for Growth
