How does this lesson connect to the unit plan?
The lesson for today mainly focuses on the definition and application of mapping points in a plane and the terminology that goes
along with this concept. Students must also be able to understand and apply these foundational components of moving points so that
they can be able to move a series of points, and therefore shapes, in the future lessons to come.

Students should have already developed a basic concept of functions. Also, students must be able to do
basic algebraic operations. Students should also know and be able to apply the Pythagorean Theorem
to determine the lengths of the sides of a triangle.
Pre-assessment (for learning): As students come into the classroom they will complete a practice review
on the board that covers what it means for something to be a function. I will walk around the room
while students complete this review to be sure students are correctly identifying functions vs. things
that are not functions.
Formative (for learning): Students will complete practice questions that, upon completion with be
discussed and corrected during class time.
Formative (as learning): Students will participate in the lecture by asking and answering questions. By
doing this, they will be contributing to what they already know, as well as asking questions over the
content that they are still struggling with.
Summative (of learning): Students will complete a homework assignment following the lesson. The
assignment will then be corrected the following day during class.

For this lesson I will be using Microsoft PowerPoint. Thus, I will need my computer and the projector
and the whiteboard and whiteboard markers so that I can project my lesson onto the board for the
students to see and write on the board over the top of some diagrams and examples that are being
projected. The students will just need the note packet I made so that they can work through sample
questions. Students might also want their textbooks so that they can follow along with the definitions
and example problems, if they so please.
For this lesson, the desks will be arranged in rows that are four desks deep. The desks will be facing
the front of the classroom so that the students can all see the whiteboard. When the students go to
work in groups or with a partner, they will simply push their desks up against one another and they
will return their desks to the standard position when the class is complete. I will be at the front of the
room at the board when teaching the lesson, however throughout the lesson when the students are
doing sample questions, I will be walking around the room to see how the students are progressing
with their work.

The biggest thing that I would have changed about this lesson is that I would have projected my presentation onto the board
before the start of class because when I went to start the lesson, I discovered that my PowerPoint presentation did not fit the
screen as it was supposed to and this, I am sure, made it difficult for the students to see the information in the presentation. I
adapted by rewriting some of the information on the white board instead of using the presentation. Also looking back, I
would have covered less information. Although the students had plenty of time to ask questions throughout the lesson, I was
barely able to finish my presentation on time and so the students did not have time to look over the homework before leaving
class and so I was not able to answer questions on the students homework if they had them. Overall, I think that this lesson
went well. I was well prepared with note sheets and my PowerPoint. I had practiced many times and felt prepared in terms of
knowing and being able to explain my information. The students were engaged and constantly asking questions. The only
things I would have changed are that I would have shortened the lesson and that I would have projected my presentation
onto the board before coming to class.
