Can you recommend a couple icebreaker activities for a team-building day at work? We have
remote employees, and want to make them feel included.

Certainly! Here are a couple of icebreaker activities tailored for remote teams:

1. Two Truths and a Lie: This classic icebreaker works well for remote teams too. Each team
member shares three statements about themselves in a virtual meeting, two of which are
true and one that is false. The rest of the team guesses which statement is the lie. This
activity helps team members learn interesting facts about each other in a fun way.
2. Virtual Scavenger Hunt: Create a list of items or tasks that team members have to find
or accomplish within their own homes. For example, find something blue, take a selfie
with your favorite mug, or perform a silly dance. Set a time limit and have everyone share
their findings or completed tasks via webcam. This activity encourages creativity and
collaboration while fostering a sense of camaraderie.

Remember to keep the icebreakers light-hearted and inclusive to ensure everyone feels
comfortable participating, especially remote team members.

Sure, here's a 5E lesson plan for Grade 11 Cape Mathematics, Unit 1, focusing on finding the
equation of an ellipse:

Title: Exploring Ellipses

Grade Level: Grade 11

Subject: Cape Mathematics

Unit: Unit 1 - Conic Sections

Duration: 1 hour

Engage:

Objective: To engage students and introduce the concept of ellipses.

 1. Warm-Up Activity (5 minutes): Display an image of various conic sections, including
circles, ellipses, parabolas, and hyperbolas. Ask students to identify each shape and briefly
discuss their characteristics.

 What do you notice about the shapes of ellipses compared to circles?
 How do you think we can describe the shape of an ellipse mathematically?

Explore:

Objective: To explore the properties of ellipses and understand how to find the equation of an
ellipse.

1. Guided Instruction (15 minutes): Present the standard form of the equation of an
ellipse:
(�−ℎ)2�2+(�−�)2�2=1a2(x−h)2+b2(y−k)2=1
 Discuss the meanings of ℎh, �k, �a, and �b.
 Explain the relationship between �a and �b and how they relate to the major
and minor axes of the ellipse.
2. Example Problems (20 minutes): Work through several examples of finding the
equation of an ellipse given relevant information, such as the foci, vertices, or endpoints
of the major and minor axes.

Explain:

Objective: To clarify any misunderstandings and reinforce key concepts.

1. Question and Answer Session (10 minutes): Allow students to ask questions about the
material covered so far.

Elaborate:

Objective: To deepen understanding through application.

1. Independent Practice (10 minutes): Provide students with additional problems to solve
independently or in pairs related to finding the equation of ellipses.

Evaluate:

Objective: To assess student learning and understanding.

1. Assessment (10 minutes): Administer a short quiz or set of problems for students to
complete individually. Review their work to gauge comprehension of the material.

Closure:

Objective: To summarize key points and wrap up the lesson.

 1. Summary (5 minutes): Recap the main concepts covered in the lesson, emphasizing the
steps involved in finding the equation of an ellipse.
2. Reflection (5 minutes): Ask students to reflect on what they learned during the lesson
and any remaining questions they may have.

Homework:

Assign additional practice problems related to finding the equation of ellipses for homework to
reinforce learning.

Materials Needed:

 Whiteboard or projector for displaying visuals

 Handouts with example problems
 Writing materials for students

Adjust the duration of each section as needed based on the pace of the class and the complexity
of the material. Additionally, provide differentiation as necessary to accommodate the needs of
all learners.
