Teaching+with+Technology

This is the Scope and Sequence of Math through Secondary Education.




Lesson 1
Grade Level: 9 Unit: Math in Different Cultures.

 Lesson Objectives:
 * Student will understand How they learn Math
 * Student will be able to Create a Cartoon that will explain how they learn Math.

Time Required to complete this lesson: One Day

Title of lesson: How do I learn.

Description of lesson:  As a class we have been learning about how people learn Mathematics in other Cultures. This assignment will cause the students to reflect on their learning styles, or how they learn, and be able to communicate that to other people. Students will use the comic strip Web 2.0 tool to explain how they learn.

 Assignment:  Here is an example of a cartoon that I created.How To LearnGo to this website, click on the ToonDoo maker and start creating your comic! Create a Cartoon

Resources/materials needed:  The internet and a computer.

 Technology used: <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> ToonDoo Web 2.0 tool

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Students have just completed creating a graph online. They have been studying how to read graphs and what everything means. In this lesson they will create a podcast that explains their graph with all of the information included; the scale on each axis, what the points are and what the graph shows from the points.Assignment:

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> Go to Vocaroo and record a podcast. The podcast will include the title of their graph, what information is shown on their graph, what the scale is on the x and y axis, as well as an analysis of the information shown.

They will be doing research on how the United States compares to other countries when they are tested in Math. Assignment: <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> After the students find out how the United States compares with other countries, they will research how the other countries teach Mathematics and try to explain why the United States does better or worse on the tests. They will be researching on the Internet as well as in books to find information. They will also be presenting the information in a Power Point presentation.

Go to Tumblr for the complete directions for this project, and a few links to get you started.

Go to Shelfari for a few suggestions on books to use in your research.

The Internet is where they can find information about how other countries learn Mathematics and how well they do on testing. The Power Point presentations are a way for the students to organize their information and present it in a way that will keep their fellow students engaged. This assignment allows them to find out the importance of testing for themselves rather than hearing it from someone else. = =

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Description of lesson: <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;"> The students have been researching Ancient Cultures as well as other Countries throughout the semester. They will take the information they have learned so far and create a video about one Culture. The video will include not only how they use Mathematics, but also any other interesting information that the students have found during their research.

It includes images of their architecture, art, agriculture and matematics. Create a video about a Country, current or in the past that includes their system of Mathematics with at least 3 other interesting areas of that culture. Go to Animoto to create your video.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">The technology used in this lesson changes the teaching / learning in this way: This technology will engage both the students working on the videos as well as those who will watch the videos. The students will be creating something that they find visually stimulating and interesting. This is better than a speech given to the class, because there are students in the class who may be visual learners and not interested in the verbal speeches.

During this lesson the students will be learning about a Mathematician from the past. They will put there knowledge to use by writing a paper, creating a powerpoint, and in the next lesson a video.

<span style="display: block; font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 12pt; line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Assignment: Research a Mathematician from the past, write a paper and create a powerpoint presentation about that Mathematician with information about their life, works, and why they were significant. The paper will need to be 3 to 5 pages long. The powerpoint must include pictures of the Mathematician as well as pictures or representations of some of their work.
