Lesson Plan-Microteaching

MAED 314 Assignment #2

Microteaching Lesson PlanGroup: Elaine, Alice, Prem

Topic: Math 8 Variables & Equations
model and solve problems using linear equations of the form

Bridge:
Simple Word Problem:
Say on Sunday you went shopping, you bought 5 video games and in total you have spent $100.
How much is it per game?

Take a minute to think........how did you come up with your answer?

Pre-Test: A rectangle with an unknown side length

Teaching Objective:

-To effectively teach the concept of solving linear equations -To develop student's problem-solving/thinking ability -To relate the Mathematics of the lesson to real-life applications -To allow students working in groups and to encourage group learning -To help students take responsibility of their learning by asking them to design a word problem using the concept learned

Learning Objective: -Students will be able to solve for the unknowns of the linear equations by the end of the lesson -Students will be able to design a real-life problem using the concepts they have learned -Students will have the opportunity to present their learning and also to learn from each other

Participatory:
We will teach the PLO's on solving.5 word problems to teach the equations

Eqn 1: ax=b (introduced in Bridge)

Eqn 2: x/a=b, a is not zero
Agnes has a bag of candies. She distributed the candies equally to her five friends. It turned out that each of her friends received 3 candies. How many candies were in Agnes' bag in the beginning?
Eqn 3: ax+b=c
Find three consecutive integers whose sum is 258

Eqn 4: x/a+b=c

Peter's teacher gave him a container full of 140 bricks.One-sixth of the bricks were red and there were 20 blue bricks. How many red bricks were there?

Eqn 5: a(x+b)=c
Ask how they got their answers and do people have different methods of solving the problem

Post-Test: Make your own word problem (group) and present it with solutions to everyone.

Summary: -We will adjust the amount of teaching accordingly under the time constrain (we might not be able to teach all 5 main types of solving for linear equations) -We want our students to understand the importance of the lesson and how applicable it is to our daily life -We want to encourage students to have different methods of solving a problem -We want our students to participate in their own learning
