SINGLE SUBJECT CREDENTIAL PROGRAM

LESSON PLAN FORMAT FOR FLM

Revised June 2007

NOTE: This lesson plan functions as a guide map to your instruction. Please include details about the examples you will give
students, anticipated responses they will give, the structure of notes if you will lecture, the directions for any activities, and key
questions you intend to pose to students. In addition, give time points to help with pacing and attach any handouts that will be used.
This is not a script of every word youll say but it is a structured, detailed guide to how you intend to implement the lesson.

RATIONALE: HOW DOES THE LESSON FIT INTO THE UNIT OF STUDYWHAT DOES IT BUILD ON (PRIOR KNOWLEDGE)?
LEAD UP TO?

WHAT DOES IT

This fits the unit of study as it is an authentic assessment that combines the surface area and volume formula into one
report as well as provides a visual display on the figures. Students are to be creative and attend to precision in creating
as well as calculating the figures. It builds on the students prior knowledge of surface area and volume and requires a
collective understanding of these figures.
GOAL(S) BIG IDEA(S) THE LESSON HELPS TO DEVELOP [SHOW CORRELATION TO PROFESSIONAL CONTENT AND PROCESS STANDARDS
(NCTM STANDARDS)]

CCSS.MATH.7.G.4. Solve real-life and mathematical problems involving angle measure, area, surface area, and
volume.

CCSS.7.G.6. Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving area, volume, and surface area of two- and threedimensional objects composed of triangles, quadrilaterals, polygons, cubes, and right prisms
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP1. Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP3. Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP4. Model with mathematics.
CCSS.MAT.PRACTICE.MP5. Use appropriate tools strategically
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP6. Attend to Precision
CCSS.MATH.PRACTICE.MP8. Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning
OBJECTIVE(S) WHAT STUDENTS WILL BE ABLE TO DO [SHOW CORRELATION TO STATE CONTENT STANDARDS (CA FRAMEWORK )]

The students are to finish up their projects as well as their individual reports for Surface Area and Volume calculations

on their Castle project. Students then turn in their reports and attend to a castle walk as a class for each group to vote on
the best castle.
LESSON INTRODUCTIONTHIS WILL GET STUDENTS ATTENTION FOCUSED ON THE OBJECTIVES INCLUDES CONNECTING TO
PRIOR CONTENT KNOWLEDGE AS WELL AS TO THEIR LIFE EXPERIECES AND INTERESTS

Students start the period with finishing and working on their projects.
LEARNING ACTIVITIESPROVIDE DETAIL ABOUT WHAT BOTH TEACHER AND STUDENTS WILL BE DOING
The students finish their Castle projects such as taping, cutting, calculating, measuring, and writing their individual report.
The students are given the materials needed such as scissors, tape, ruler, and paper to complete their castle. The teacher
will be walking around the classroom progress monitoring the students and providing clarifying questions to the students.
Students are given a rubric for their project that they must fulfill. The teacher reads the rubric before the students start their
project. See attached Rubric for the project below.
LESSON CLOSUREHOW WILL I HELP STUDENTS TO PROCESS AND ORGANIZE WHAT WAS LEARNED?
Once the students finish their castle the teacher collects their reports. The teacher then provides a label such as group 1, 2,
3 and so on for each of the groups to display in front of their castle. The teacher instructs students to take a piece of paper
and vote for the best castle. The best castle receives a prize.
ACCOMMODATIONS ( INSTRUCTIONAL AND ASSESSMENT)
ENGLISH LEARNERS
ADVANCED STUDENTS
IEP REQUIREMENTS

English Learners are accommodated through the group project. Students are given roles and Els
can pick a role they feel comfortable with. Student can ask their group mates for help. Students
are working with physical manipulatives to create their project.
Advanced students will be able to assist their peers as they work in groups in creating their castle.
Since every student has an individual report to make they are able to be successful in this task.
Students will be given the accommodations needed as stated on their IEP.
