Voulme Lesson 1
Voulme Lesson 1
Teacher Actions
Materials:
Geometric shapes, notebooks and a
smartboard.
Key Vocabulary:
1. Volume
2. Cylinders
3. Circles
4. Sphere
5. Cones
Student Actions
Intro/Model (10 minutes) Introduction, purpose, explanations, thinkalouds, visual or worked models, small steps working toward mastery, etc.:
To check for understanding I will ask my students to do hand gestures such as: thumbs up, thumbs down and thumb to the side.
This will allow me to clarify their questions about the lecture if they were confused. If my students were confused I will reteach the
material.
Independent Practice/Extension/Connections (15 minutes) Practice, extend, and apply the skills/concepts (inclusive of work that
requires higher-level thinking skills):
I will be handing out worksheets of Volume of a cone and my students will be matching the correct formula of each geometric
shape. Students will be pasting this worksheet into their notebooks and they will be writing a summary what they learned.
Closure Explicitly connect ideas, concepts, and skills together, and clearly connect to the lesson objective(s):
The purpose of todays lecture was to demonstrate how geometric shapes can be used and how formulas can be applied.
Multiple means of presentation of information to students (e.g., audio, video, text, speech, Braille,
still photos, or images)
2.
Multiple means of expression by students (e.g., writing, speaking, drawing, video recording)
3.
Multiple means of engagement for students (e.g., to meet differing needs for predictability,
novelty, or group interaction)
Rose & Meyer (2002)
Explain to themselves the meaning of a problem and look for entry points to its solution.
Explain correspondences between equations, verbal descriptions, tables, and graphs, or draw diagrams of important
features and relationships.
Check their answers to problems using a different method, and they continually ask themselves, Does this make
sense?
Understand the approaches of others to solving complex problems and identify correspondences between
approaches.
Make sense of quantities and their relationships in problem situations. Create a coherent representation of the
problem at hand, consider the units involved, attend to the meaning of quantities, and flexibly use different
properties of operations and objects.
Decontextualize a given situation and represent it symbolically, and also contextualize to probe into the referents for
the symbols involved.
Understand and use stated assumptions, definitions, and previously established results in constructing arguments.
Compare the effectiveness of two arguments, distinguish correct from incorrect reasoning and, if there is a flaw in an
argument, explain what it is.
Apply the mathematics they know to solve problems arising in everyday life, society, and the workplace.
Make assumptions and approximations to simplify a complicated situation, realizing that these may need revision
later.
Identify important quantities and their relationships in a practical situation using such tools as diagrams, tables,
graphs, flowcharts, and formulas.
Use technology to visualize the results of varying assumptions, explore consequences, and compare predictions with
data.
Identify relevant external mathematical resources, such as digital content located on a website, and use them to
pose or solve problems.
Use technological tools to explore and deepen their understanding of concepts.
Communicate precisely to others. They use clear definitions in discussion with others and in their own reasoning.
State the meaning of the symbols they choose. They are careful about specifying units.
Calculate accurately and efficiently, and express numerical answers with the appropriate degree of precision.
8 Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning. Mathematically proficient students
Notice if calculations are repeated, and look both for general methods and for shortcuts.
When solving problems, maintain oversight of the process while attending to the details, and continually evaluate the
reasonableness of results.
