Lesson Agenda

Teacher Actions/Questions

Beginning of Class

¨Students
  immediately on task; Teacher taking attendance and checking HW; Independent;
  no direction from teacher or interaction with other students required.  Students copying day’s homework into
  planners

  ¨5-10 minutes to complete; Rigorous written
  product OR oral response required; Spiral of previous day's lesson OR Hook into today's lesson OR Pre- or post-assessment to inform
  today's instruction

Do Now Activities:

Wednesday: On a loose leaf sheet of paper, define
  the following terms:  equilateral,
  right angle, median.

Hook/Motivation

¨Student
  interest piqued to "hook" into lesson; Background knowledge or
  connections activated to provide "hooks" on which students can
  leverage new learning

Wed:

What is the difference between an Equilateral
  triangle and a right triangle?

What checks for understandings will students need to answer
  correctly to move onto the next part of the lesson?

Explicit Instruction

¨Whole-group
  Teacher-led instruction used to introduce new concept

  ¨Breaks complex content or skills down into
  discrete, manageable steps/parts

(The concepts have been introduced in the general ed classroom)

What checks for understandings will students need to answer
  correctly to move onto the next part of the lesson?

Guided Practice

¨Student-centered,
  teacher-directed exercises that supported practice for new knowledge or
  skills

  ¨Ratio of student cognitive work to teacher work
  rapidly increasing; ¨Checks for
  understanding determine when students are ready to assume more of the cognitive
  load

Wed.

The teacher will model how the game will be played.

-The teacher will explain that the participants will pick up two
  cards that are facing down. 

-One of the cards will have the word and the other will have either
  definition and/or example to match.

-The person who has the most matches at the end of the game is the
  winner.

What checks for understandings will students need to answer
  correctly to move onto the next part of the lesson?

Independent Practice

¨Repetition
  and practice that develops proficiency; ¨Students provided with tools for individual assessment

  ¨Conferring with individual or groups of
  students

Wed: The student will match the cards that corresponds with each
  other.

What checks for understandings will students need to answer
  correctly to move onto the next part of the lesson?

Exit Ticket

¨Recorded
  checks for understanding; focused on discrete objectives to reveal exactly
  which part of standard(s) students have mastered (exit tickets, clicker
  questions, etc.)

(Reference above section on Exit Ticket)

Closure

¨Last 3-5
  minutes of lesson; Mastery Check;
  Repeat to Remember

¨Meaningful connection to quality HW and/or next day's
  lesson

Teacher will say, “Remember that vocabulary is
  an essential/ important part of understanding math.  Understanding vocabulary will help you
  better understand math problems.”
