Sample Lesson Design

Sample E-Lesson (1 week)

Here is a sample lesson using different strategies but focused around discussion and collaboration

Weekly Lesson Outline

Learning Targets

Trigonometry is the study of triangles. In this section you will Master the following target skills:

Target 1: Use the Pythagorean theorem

To find the length of the hypotenuse of a right triangle

To find the length of a leg of a right Triangle

Target 2: Use trig ratios (sin, cos, tan)

To find the length of a missing side

To find the measurement of an angle

Target 3: Solve trig problems in real life context

Day 1-Introduction

Part 1. Watch the three videos on Edpuzzle

-Pythagorean Theorem

-Trigonometry Ratios (SOH CAH TOA) to find a side

-Trigonometry Ratios (SOH CAH TOA) to find an angle

Part 2. Complete Discussion 1 on Schoology

Day 2- Practice

Part 1. Complete the following 3 sections of Khanacademy (These are already assigned to you so you can go directly to Khanacademy and find them there)

Part 2. -Discussion (respond to your original post from yesterday): Post a question from Khanacademy and solve someone else's problem

Post a question from khanacademy for others to solve (make sure you can solve it)
Manage your post: give students feedback if they try to answer your problem. Give them hints if they have trouble or give them feedback on how they solved it.
Answer at least one other person's problem. Get feedback from the student who posted the problem and reply back to them. Fix the problem if you need to.

*If there are no Posts for you to reply to, you may start looking at and working on Day 3

Day 3- Real Applications

Part 1. You've been assigned groups based on the times you are available to meet with others. Work together to complete this Google Doc (This is a "view only")

Have 1 person create a new google Doc and share it with the team
Copy and paste the questions from google Doc above.
Keep in mind that you can simultaneously work on the same file (almost like talking to each other)
Use a different font color for each person or label who did each part.
Everyone should do a similar amount of work
Each person submit a copy of this file on google classroom. Link Here

Main Task: You will find real application-type problems and solve them by working in a group

Sample Collaborative Assignment

Group 1 (11:00 am)

Group 2 (12:00 pm)

Group 3 (10:30 am)

Part 2. Discussion Forum:

Have each person choose a different problem from your project and post a screenshot on your original discussion post
Choose a problem posted by at least 2 other people (not in your team) and answer the following questions
- - What formula would you use to solve this problem? How do you know?
  - Make sure you manage your own comments and give students feedback

Day 4- Final Project

Final Project: Create a FlipGrid Video

You will create a flipgrid video where you explain what you have learned this week.

Part 1: Discussion

To help you process information, complete the discussion questions in this new forum. This is also a good place to ask questions from others if you hare having trouble

Part 2: Final Project

Create a Video (using Flipgrid) using the problem above and explain all of the following points:

- - When to use the Pythagorean theorem
  - How do you solve a quadratic when using the Pythagorean theorem?
  - When to use SOH CAH TOA
  - Which Trig identity (sin, cos, tan) do you choose and why?
  - When to use inverse trig identities
  - How do you type all of this into a calculator?

Video Expectations:

-Explain with as much detail as possible

-like you were explaining it to someone that knows math but may not know the content you are explaining

-If you don't explain something I will assume that you don't know it

-Your video should have no more than 3 takes

Sample videos Link:

Point Distribution (0-4 points max)

Solving the questions correctly: 0-1 point possible

Pythagorean theorem explanations: 0-0.5 points possible

Trig ratios to find a side explanations: 0-1.5 points possible

Trig ratios to find an angle explanations: 0-0.5 points possible

Using the Calculator explanations: 0-0.5 points possible

Day 5- Final Project

Discussion

-Post a link to your video on yesterdays forum as a comment on your original post

-Comment on at least 2 other videos

-Respond to anyone's comments on your thread

-Write a final reflection

-Did you meet the objectives this week?

-What helped you be successful

-What did you struggle with?
