2.9.8.A : Name, describe and apply geometric relations for 1-dimensional shapes and 2- dimensional shapes and 3-
dimensional solids.
ELIGIBLE CONTENT:
M11.C.1.2.1: Identify and/or use properties of triangles (e.g., medians, altitudes, angle bisectors, side/angle
relationships, Triangle Inequality Theorem).
The student will find the length of a midsegment on the notes sheet with 100% accuracy.
The student will find the length of a line segment in a centroid on the notes sheet with 100% accuracy.
The student will identify all pairs of parallel segments on the notes sheet with 100% accuracy.
MATERIALS:
Section 6.1 Notes Sheet
Pencil
Paper
Textbook
Smartboard
iPad
ACTIVITIES (There are three sections here):
CLOSURE (Wrap up and brief summary): How will you plan to restate the lesson objective?
The teacher will restate the 3 major objectives that were written by the students on their notes sheets
The teacher will say that we found the length of a midsegment in example 1, wrote the different pairs of parallel
sides in example 2, and talked about the length of segments in a centroid in examples 3 and 4
The teacher will say that these four examples over the last two classes allow us to talk about another topic that is
very important in geometry: altitudes!
ACCOMMODATIONS/MODIFICATIONS:
Student 1
o Will receive a copy of the completed Teacher’s notes for this section at the end of the lesson
Student 2
o Will received reduced homework assignment (Pg. 231 #8-13, #20) instead of (Pg. 231 #8-16, #20)
ASSESSMENT: (How you will determine that student has mastered objectives?): Consider formative and summative
assessment measures for all levels of differentiation.
The student will master the objective of finding the length of a midsegment by indicating thumbs up or thumbs
down to indicate that they agree or disagree with the teacher’s answer
The student will master the objective of finding the length of a line segment in a centroid by verbalizing their
answer to the teacher.
The student will master the objective of identifying the median and the altitude of a triangle by circling the
correct segments on the notes sheet.
SELF-ASSESSMENT/REFLECTION: (Complete this section if you have taught this lesson to peers or in clinical
placement):
Thursday:
I felt really good about this lesson today. I was able to incorporate real-life examples into the introduction of my
lesson. I actually changed my set from talking about graphical properties of a line to talking about a median on
a highway. I changed my set because I heard some of my students talking about their permit tests in the class. I
wanted to make sure that I started off on a good note with my students by giving them something that they all
can relate to. I also feel that I was able to answer any questions that the students asked me.
I do wish that I was able to get further in the lesson today, however. I also had to review the last exam that they
took yesterday and I also had to introduce my expectations and policies. This ended up taking about 25 minutes
of my lesson so I only really had 15 minutes left in order to start my set and developmental aspects of my
lesson. I feel that I will be able to speed up the pace of my lesson on Monday because my students will know
the objectives as well as the definition of median.
