1. Overview, Background & Rationale For Lesson Plan
Overview
This lesson plan will be used for a math class. I am teaching this lesson to a
Abstract
7th grade standard math class. This lesson includes self-paced activities that
will teach the concept of angles and angle relationships, while also reviewing
1-dimensional and 2-dimensional figures. I will teach the content through the
use of teacher-led instruction, independent practice, and small group
activities. This lesson is being taught because it aligns with the Georgia
Standards of Excellence standard of angles. Students will be assessed both
formally and informally through summative exams, homework, quizzes, and
other methods.
Background,
This lesson is developed for a class of about 30-35 students in three of my 7th
Culture and
grade math classes. This lesson was developed for these students because
Context
majority of the students have not been introduced to angles, angle
relationships, and triangles. Since this is a new concept, I will give students
time to learn the material and also practice in class.
In my classes, there is a diverse group of students. The majority of my
students are Hispanic, while the minority are white and black. Each student
brings a unique and different perspective to the classroom, and each student
learns differently. While working with my host teacher, I have noticed that my
students are more focused and on-task when they are able to move at their
own paces to learn the material.
My students have not yet learned the concepts of angles and angle
relationships. I am seeking to teach my students that most of the concepts
that they have learned previously (including 1-step and 2-step equations) are
important for the success of this unit and future units. I am also seeking to
teach my students that what they are learning is useful in places outside of
the classroom.
