LESSON PLAN 3
Mathematics

EDCP 342A
Date : December 14, 2017    

Room       1213

Topic/learning objectives: After completing this lesson students will explore their deep understanding of the topics of the arithmetic and geometric sequences. The respondents will include more information and feelings. Open ended questions will allow the students to get extra information such as demographic information. Many solutions and many ways of solving the questions would be found.

Textbook Pre -Calculus 11

HOOK
·         Write an arithmetic sequence with common difference -1/2
·         Write a geometric series for which r = 0.5, n=5
·         Write a geometric sequence with a common ratio of 2/3


Lesson content/activities:

  *   A brief discussion would take place in the class: What are the possibilities of handshakes if 6 people meet where everyone shakes hand with everyone else only once.

·         What are the ways to represent it geometrically?
·         Describe a similar situation in which the method of determining the handshakes may apply and could be represented geometrically
    *
        If a ball is dropped from a height of 3.0 m. After each bounce, it rises to 75% of its previous height. After how many bounces the ball will reach a height of approximately 40 cm?
  
·         Does the height affect the bounces? If yes then how if not then why?

·         Students in small groups will discuss about the situation.

·         They will have an opportunity to showcase or discuss their findings and patterns

·         To draw or to calculate they can use GeoGebra or calculator

Time

10 minutes








50 minutes


Homework/assessment


They will be assigned some other open-ended problems so that they can develop their thinking process and unanticipated findings can be discovered



Learning outcomes

All pupils will be involved in problem solving and will find more than one answers. They can recognize the problem whether it is related with arithmetic sequence or geometric sequence and they proceed according to that.

Most pupils participate in finding unanticipated findings. They use their creativity and their self-expressions in solving problems.

Some pupils may try some advanced open- ended problems.




Comments/evaluation

As in open- ended question we expect many approaches, so rubric would be the best technique for evaluation.

    Lesson #3: This lesson is far more participatory and engages students in problem-solving: much better than the first two lesson plans in terms of students learning actively!

    However:
    •there are only two problems and 3 warm-up questions listed (not enough content for a whole lesson).
    •the timings still do not make sense
    •the lesson plan is lacking detail about how the lesson will actually be carried out.

    Overall: There are some very nice parts of this unit plan (the rationale, the project plan and the assessment plan), but there are also several parts that need to be revised and resubmitted:

    1) the list of unit elements, and
    2) the three lesson plans

The Three Curricula by Elliot Eisner

The Three Curricula That All Schools Teach by Elliot Eisner This is very meaningful article about what our extrinsic and intrinsic curriculum offer and there is something which is not included in the prescribed curriculum, but that is also needed. As I had teaching background back home and I taught in BC as well, I agree with Eisner in many ways.  My first stop is about the rewards which are given by teachers in the class, especially in elementary classes. Eisner calls them “reward junkies” because he believes that we are creating a payoff system for children. I totally agree that such type of extrinsic reinforcement turns into bribery instead of best practice. Here I would like to share an anecdote which I noticed two years ago in a private school of BC.  My younger daughter got some prizes in vocal music from the teacher. On every Saturday, there was a program organised by the management to encourage the children for music. Luckily, my daughter has a sweet voice. I ...
