Teaching Plan

Here is my teaching plan, or a rough outline of what my students and I will be doing during the lesson I will be teaching next week.
Audience: 10th grade Int. Math II Students
Group Size: 20
Time: 58 minutes
Equipment: Projector, white board, markers, student workbook, index cards 
Resources:  Visual aids
Setting: Students are arranged in groups of four where they can all see all visual aids and easily communicate with one another. 
Objectives:

The learners (student) will: be able to show key features of the graph.


Time
Concept to be Learned
What you (teacher) do or show
What learners (students) do
Self-monitoring
(Hints for teacher)
Making adjustments that could not have been predicted 
5 min.
Warm-up
Take roll, monitor student work
Complete warm-up activity, collect any necessary materials for the day
Make sure you are not blocking the visual.
Stand near students who benefit from proximity of teacher.
Remind students to stay on task and answer any questions.
5 min.
Discussion of warm-up
Facilitate a discussion about the problems, correcting students as necessary
Listen
Take notes or articulate outcome…
Check for understanding
15 min.
Finding roots of functions
I will work through a problem on my own, describing my steps as I move through it. 
I will then work through a few more with student input and checking for understanding. 
Listen, take notes, share input, and ask questions
Listening, observing, 
Redirecting as needed.
Keep track of time to keep lesson moving.
15 min.
Guided practice
Monitor students working together, clearing up any misconceptions, pre-selecting students to share their answers, answering questions, providing the students with things to think about, roaming the room
Completing the problems and discussing their answers in groups.
Make sure everyone is working a contributing.
Redirecting as needed.
Make sure to assign problems that the students will present by giving them a marker and telling them which problem they will do.
If not preassigning problems, draw sticks to randomly select students.  
10 min.
Class discussion
Facilitate student discussion about the problems they were assigned by selected students to write their answers on the board.
Give explanations and clarifications as needed. 
Listening.
Showing what they know
by answering questions.
Taking notes as necessary.
Checking for understanding strategies
Redirecting as needed.  Keeping notes on learners’ progress and where additional support/
differentiation is needed.
6 min.
Exit Ticket
Give students an index card. 
Write problem on board.
Collect exit tickets when students leave the room.
Complete the problem individually on the index card to demonstrate their learning from the day.
Monitor students using proximity.
Differentiate exit ticket as necessary for IEP and ELL students.
2 min.
Announcements & Clean up
Remind students of any upcoming events or tests.
Return all materials and pack up.
Collect exit tickets and skim as they turn them in, offering quick feedback as they leave.

Teaching Style

Image
To be honest, I don't feel that Grasha's Teaching Styles Inventory was very illuminating to me. Maybe it was just the way that I answered all the questions, but I felt that it didn't really tell me how I taught. All the answers seemed to be close, but it deemed some of the areas high even though the number seemed low. Maybe this doesn't make sense to me because I am more of a visual learner (see previous post) and it didn't include a diagram. Or because I am a mathematical person who relies on number sense and objectivity and the quiz deemed a 2.87 High while a 3.12 Moderate (see the post before the previous one). Regardless of the scoring system, the quiz seems to have identified my teaching style as "Expert." This actually makes sense to me because I am quite good at math (I have yet to see the word " humble" appear in any of my questionnaire results). My degree is in mathematics and I am currently working to get my Masters in Mathematics

Learning Map

Here is my Learning Map for Assignment 1B. I know that the assignment says to use the map we made in TED 632, but that was over a year ago for me and I didn't like it, so I made a new one. I used the last week of school that I taught, where my Integrated II students were getting a jump on Integrated III/Precalculus topics. I had some difficulty coming up with the real world applications, because polynomials tend to be a bit abstract for these students. Though it didn't go into any of these real world applications, one that we often talk about is roller coasters. polynomials can be written to represent the same of roller coasters to help designers and physicists accurately create safe and fun coasters.  Day of the Week Day 1 Day 2 Day 3 Day 4 Day 5 Essential Question When we add functions, do we still have a function? Of the same degree? What about when we multiply functions? Do we have to factor (x+1) raised to the 6 five time

Authentic Assessment

There are a lot of different definitions of authentic assessment, depending on the subject area and the grade level. In my high school math classroom, I consider an authentic assessment to be something that relates the curriculum to the real world. For authentic assessments, I usually like to use a performance task. In these performance tasks, they start easy, with vocabulary questions and basic questions on the material. Then, then task becomes more and more complex, including problems that extend the student's thinking. Therefore, I am able to better assess exactly where each student stands with the material.  One of my favorite authentic assessments for Integrated Math II is for the Right Triangle Trigonometry unit. After we have covered all the material, I give them a performance task that involves them going out onto campus and finding the heights of several campus landmarks using trigonometry. It starts with them creating a homemade clinometer
