Quadritaterals - 1st maths lesson plan

Well not technically my 1st maths lesson plan, but my 1st one to be tested on a group of unsuspecting students LOL.

Orientation: (2 mins)
Whole class:
· Teacher (T) has six quadrilaterals drawn on blackboard
· T asks Students (S) if they know:
o what this group of shapes are called and why?

Enhancing: (8 mins)
Whole class:
· T facilitates class discussion to provide:
o name of each shape
o characteristics of each including angles, length of sides ¶llel lines
o T notes prior knowledge
· As S describe characteristics T writes key ideas of board, and marks equal length sides, right angles and parallel lines with conventions
· S are asked if they know what these lines mean
· T asks could these lines be applied to this shape?
· T continues horizontal lines so they meet to show why they are not parallel
T asks are these marking right – if no, why not? On what shape would this be right?

Synthesising: (15 mins)
Individual (5 mins):
· complete p.112 Signpost Maths Book
· mark in equal sides, right angles and parallel lines

Groups (10 mins)
· S work in groups according to seating arrangement
· complete odd one out activity drawn on board - odd one out of group. Figure 1 is the odd one out as all the rest have...
· Learning Assistance Students:
o represent each shape on geoboard with rubber bands
o S will need to name each shape to T
· ESL Students:
o Rainforest Maths – Level E (green) – 2D shapes – sides, angles and line symmetry - (www.rainforestmaths.com)
o T to check the score of students

Evaluation: (5 mins)
Whole class:
· Class provides answers for odd one out activity
· Who had at least one of the answers for the odd one out activity?
· If there is time – mark p. 112 Signpost maths
