Lesson Plan: I.
Rationale & II. Overview Reflections: Assessing Prior Knowledge and
Planning Instructions:
·
What do the students
need to know prior to the lesson?
o In order to succeed with this lesson students will
need to know what a rectangle is and how to multiple and add. This knowledge is
necessary because this lesson will teach students how to calculate the are and
perimeter of rectangles and the operations they will need to be able to do to
complete all of the area and perimeter calculations are multiplication and
addition. Students also need to have background information on how to use the
computer and type in a URL to access the quiz at Kahoot.it.
·
How will prior
knowledge and experience be assessed?
o Prior knowledge and experience will be addressed
during the direct input/guided practice section of the lesson where the
students will have to work with the teacher to calculate areas and perimeters.
This will be an informal assessment.
·
How will you use this
information in the planning process?
o This information will be used in the planning
process by determining whether or not the teacher needs to teach multiplication
and/or addition before continuing on with the lesson on area and perimeter.
Some students may need a brief refresher on how to multiple and/or add before
getting into the lesson on area and perimeter.
·
Why should the content
of this lesson be taught at this grade level?
o This is a great lesson to be taught at this grade
level because it is a part of the math standards for 4th grade. This
content is also very engaging and interesting for students in 4th
grade level because they get to actually create something.
·
How do the objectives
that you have for the lesson align with the standards?
o My objectives for this lesson align perfectly with
the standard that I used. They align so well because the standard requires the
students to be able to apply the formulas for calculating area and perimeter in
real world and mathematical problems, which is exactly what the objectives of
the lesson are. The individual assignment also addresses both the standards and
objectives perfectly.
·
When will the lesson
be taught in the course of the school year? Why?
o This lesson can be taught at any time throughout
the school year as long as the students know how to add and multiple. However,
it would make most sense to teach this lesson towards the end of the school
year because then the students would have all of the basic computer and math
skills needed to efficiently complete the activities found within the
lesson.
Lesson Plan: III.
Implementation Reflection: Designing Instructions:
·
Why are you using the
instructional methods you have described?
o In this lesson the teacher will use a lot of
visuals, class discussions and practice to learn how to calculate area and
perimeter of a rectangle. The reason I am using these instructional methods is
because I feel like they allow the students to access the information no matter
what there learning style may be. Also, frequently checking for understanding
throughout the lesson will allow the teacher to manage the pace of the lesson
based upon the performance of each individual student.
·
How do the
instructional methods align with what you know about best practices (think
about your methods classes)?
o These instructional methods allow the students to
participate throughout the entire lesson. By allowing the students to
participate the students become more engaged and the content becomes more
memorable. These instructional methods also allow for lots of repetition of the
content, which in return will help the students remember the important
information.
·
How are you engaging
students in creative and higher order thinking?
o I am engaging students in creative and higher order
thinking throughout this lesson by asking them to create their dream house and
use this creation to calculate the area and perimeter of multiple sized
rectangles. They are then asked to answer questions about area and perimeter
that will only be correct of they truly understand how to calculate area and
perimeter. The students have to be creative by making their own 5-room dream
house and calculate its area and perimeter. This requires the students to think
deeper about the content instead of just copying down information given to
them. They have to actually put the skill to work.
Lesson Plan: IV. Assessment Reflection: Planning
Assessment:
·
How does the
assessment align with the standards and objectives of this lesson?
o The assessment for this lesson aligns very nicely
with the standard and objectives. The assessment requires the students to
create their dream house, calculate the area and perimeter of their dream
house, and answer questions about area and perimeter. The objectives of this
lesson were to construct a compound figure that has all right angles, calculate
the area of rectangles, and calculate the perimeter of rectangles, which is
exactly what the assessment asks the students to do.
·
How does the
assessment demonstrate that the students have been successful in learning the
content?
o The assessment when evaluated tells the teacher
which students know how to calculate the area and perimeter of rectangles and
which students do not know how to calculate the area and perimeter of
rectangles. In other words the assessment tells the teacher which students did
or did not learn the content of the lesson.
·
How does the
assessment demonstrate student engagement in higher order thinking?
o The assessment shows higher level thinking by
having the students actually create their own figure to practice calculating
area and perimeter with.
·
How does the
assessment demonstrate that the individual student needs were met?
o Since the assessments are completely individual
assignments the teacher will be able to assess what each individual student
knows. Based upon the student’s grades on the assessments the teacher will be
able to tell which students need to be retaught the lesson.
Lesson Plan: V. Materials & Resources
Reflection:
·
How does your lesson
meet each of the ISTE NET’s Standards?
o My lesson meets all of the ISTE NET’s Standards
because it allows for students to be creative, use technology, and it requires
the students to practice digital age citizenship and responsibility.
·
How does your lesson
meet Standard 1: Facilitate and Inspire Student Learning and Creativity?
o My students are asked to be creative by creating
their dream house. The students also take a quiz in a new way using Kahoot.it.
·
How does your lesson
meet Standard 2: Provide Digital Age Learning Experiences and Assessment?
o Students calculate the area and perimeter of a
figure that they create, which teaches them how to use the area and perimeter
formulas. They will also learn how to navigate the Internet and use the website
where they have to access the Kahoot.it quiz. Rubrics are used to grade the
assessments at the end of the lesson.
·
How does your lesson
meet Standard 3: Model Digital Age Work & Learning?
o Students watch the teacher navigate the Internet
when showing the video to the class. Proper Internet skills will be modeled at
this time.
·
How does your lesson
meet all four elements of Standard 4: Promote and Model Digital Age Citizenship
and Responsibility by:
o Advocating,
modeling, and teaching safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and
technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the
appropriate documentation of sources.
§
The video shown in
class is cited. Students are given a specific URL to link them to the website
where they will complete the quiz on area and perimeter. The students will be
aware that even though the teacher created the quiz they are taking he/she did
not create the Kahoot website.
o Addressing
the diverse needs of all learners by using learner-centered strategies
providing equitable access to appropriate digital tools and resources.
§ The assessment where the students have to participate
in a quiz on area and perimeter will be completed in class using computers that
the students are provided with. This will give all students access to a
computer to complete the assessment.
o Promoting
and modeling digital etiquette and responsible social interactions related to
the use of technology and information.
§ The
student’s will not be communicating or typing anything online. However, they
will be made aware of how to act when using technology.
o Developing and modeling cultural understanding
and global awareness by engaging with colleagues and students of other
cultures using digital-age communication and collaboration tools.
§ My lesson does not have students talking to other
students using digital communication. However, I will make sure that the Kahoot.it
quiz is appropriate for all cultures in my classroom.
