PART I: PLANNING Title of Lesson Source Subject Area (s) Grade Level Curriculum Standards

Cross Sections
Is this lesson original idea? If not, from what source did I borrow this lesson?

Original Lesson Math 7th 7-4.3 Identify the cross section of a solid. 7-4.2 Explain the results of the intersection of two or more geometric shapes in a plane.

Description and Background Information Lesson Objectives

Describe the lessons activities and content.

The students will take notes on cross sections then they will watch an interactive display on the results of a cross section.
What will students be able to do at the conclusion of this lesson?

Students will be able to identify cross sections with 80% accuracy on the common assessment.
How will I vary these objectives for students who do not understand the material?

Varying Objectives for Individuals Needs

Repeated directions, extended time to complete activities, copies of notes and key terms provided, opportunity to correct assignment at least once after submitting for a grade
How will I vary these objectives for students who have already mastered the concept?

For the students that have already mastered the concept I will encourage them to get the cross section of more shapes then the ones presented in the notes.
How will I vary these objectives for students who are presently learning English?

I will vary these objectives for students who are presently learning English by giving them the opportunity to speak and hear new words. Statement of Purpose
Why is it important for the students to learn this content?
