 * LESSON PLAN FORMAT**


 * Teacher’s Name:** Ms. Haase **Lesson 3****:** Explanation
 * Grade Level:** 10 **Topic:** Quadratics

__**Objectives**__
Student will understand that functions can be solved using various methods. Student will know the quadratic formula using a word-web organizer. Student will be able to describe various techniques to solve functions.

__**Maine Learning Results Alignment**__
Maine Learning Results: Mathematics- D. Algebra Functions and Relations Grades 9-Diploma 4. Students will learn characteristics of functions using graphs, tables, and algebraic techniques.


 * Rationale:** Students will learn different techniques to solving functions.

__**Assessment**__
Students will use a word-web graphic organizer to describe various techniques to solve functions. They will self assess themselves using a self-quiz, that includes problems involving quadratics that can be solving using factoring and the quadratic formula.
 * Formative (Assessment for Learning)**

Students will identify examples of quadratic functions in nature by using live-web feeds on [|EarthCam]. Students will work with their "jigsaw" groups to create an iMovie presentation that solves an assigned function using various techniques. These iMovies will be presented to the class as a short lesson. The iMovie presentations will be assessed based on a presentation rubric. The components of the rubric will be: content, collaboration with peers, originality, script/storyboard, enthusiasm, and credits.
 * Summative (Assessment of Learning)**

__**Integration**__

 * Technology:** Students will identify examples of quadratic functions in nature by using live-web feeds on [|EarthCam]. Students will work with their "jigsaw" groups to create an iMovie presentation that solves an assigned function using various techniques. These iMovies will be presented to the class as a short lesson.


 * Science:** Students can find examples of quadratics in nature on Earthcam (biology).

__Groupings__
Students will work with their "jigsaw" groups to create an iMovie presentation that solves an assigned function using various techniques. Groups will be chosen based on skill-level in the class.

__**Differentiated Instruction**__
**Logical/Mathematical:** Students will use the quadratic formula. **Musical/Rhythmic**: Students can add music to their iMovie presentation **Naturalist:** Students will find an example of a parabola in nature using live-feed webcams online **Bodily/Kinesthetic**: Students have the choice of acting in their iMovie presentation **Spatial/Visual:** Students will use visual aids in iMovie **Interpersonal:** Students must collaborate with their peers to create the iMovie presentation.
 * Strategies**

//I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.//
 * Modifications/Accommodations**
 * Absent:** If a student is absent, they could get caught up on the lesson by reviewing their classmates' iMovie presentation. They will then see me during a free period, or before or after school so work on the various solving techniques.

__**Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale**__

 * //Standard 3 - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.//**
 * Rationale: This lesson accommodates the beach ball, microscope, clipboard, and puppy learning styles. Beach balls are given the personal freedom to design their iMovie presentations however they would like to, as long as the necessary components are there. Clipboards will benefit from my iMovie tutorial, which will be a visual step by step process of taking still and moving images and putting them together with audio to create a movie. Microscopes will be given opportunities to deeply discuss different solving techniques with their group members during the jigsaw activity and creating the iMovie. Puppies will be accommodated for because they will be in a comfortable and supportive learning environment. **


 * //Standard 4 - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.//**
 * Rationale: This lesson is centered around the "explanation" facet of understanding. Student will understand that functions can be solved using various methods. Student will know the quadratic formula using a word-web organizer. Student will be able to describe various technique to solve functions. Students will learn different techniques to solving functions. **

**Logical/Mathematical:** Students will use the quadratic formula. **Musical/Rhythmic**: Students can add music to their iMovie presentation **Naturalist:** Students will find an example of a parabola in nature using live-feed webcams online **Bodily/Kinesthetic**: Students have the choice of acting in their iMovie presentation **Spatial/Visual:** Students will use visual aids in iMovie **Interpersonal:** Students must collaborate with their peers to create the iMovie presentation. **Intrapersonal:** Students will self-assess their iMovie presentations.
 * //Standard 5 - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.//**
 * Rationale:**

**Technology:** Students will identify examples of quadratic functions in nature by using live-web feeds on [|EarthCam]. Students will work with their "jigsaw" groups to create an iMovie presentation that solves an assigned function using various techniques. These iMovies will be presented to the class as a short lesson.


 * //Standard 8 - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.//**
 * Rationale:**

**Formative (Assessment for Learning)** Students will use a word-web graphic organizer to describe various techniques to solve functions. They will self assess themselves using a self-quiz, that includes problems involving quadratics that can be solving using factoring and the quadratic formula.

**Summative (Assessment of Learning)** Students will identify examples of quadratic functions in nature by using live-web feeds on [|EarthCam].

__Teaching and Learning Sequence__
My classroom will be arranged in groups of four. This will allow my students to work together without having to move their desks.

My agenda is as follows: Day 1: Students will receive word-web organizer handout. (1 min) Students will be introduced to EarthCam (4 min) Students will search EarthCam to find examples of parabolas (quadratics) (10 min) Students will share their examples with the class (30 min) Students will receive instruction on identifying quadratic equations (10 min) Students will receive instruction on factoring techniques involved with quadratics (FOIL) (25 min) Day 2: Day 3:

// Students will understand that functions can be solved using various methods. By solving functions we can pin-point what happens at a specific time. For example, if a car is traveling miles-per-hour, using a linear function (kx+b) we could find out the distance at exactly 4.5 hours. //Students understand and interpret characteristics of functions using graphs, tables, and algebraic techniques. Students will be given watch a safari camera (on [] ) and try to identify examples of quadratics. // **Where, Why, What, Hook, Tailors: Naturalist, Visual/Spatial** //

Students will know the quadratic formula using a word-web graphic organizer. Students in groups will be each assigned a different method of solving functions. Once each student has mastered their technique, they will share with another group. This is called "jigsaw." Students will be given a self-quiz to figure out what techniques they need to practice more. **Equip, Explore, Rethink, Revise, Tailors: Interpersonal, Logical/Mathematical**

Students in groups will be each assigned a different method of solving functions. Once each student has mastered their technique, they will share with another group. This is called "jigsaw." The students will collaborate with other with the same technique and create an iMovie presentation to teach a lesson to the class. I will provide feedback as the students are taking their self quiz and answer any clarifying questions. **Explore, Experience, Revise, Refine, Tailors: Musical/Rhythmic, Bodily/Kinesthetic**

The iMovie presentations will be assessed based on a presentation rubric. The students will be assessed on content, collaboration with peers, originality, script/storyboard, enthusiasm, and credits. Before presenting, during the creating process, students will be able to use the same rubric to self-assess their work.
