Lesson Plan
·
STANDARD 1: Students develop
number sense and use numbers and number relationships in problem-solving
situations and communicate the reasoning used in solving these problems.
o
construct and interpret number meanings through real-world experiences*
and the use of hands-on materials;
·
STANDARD 2: Students use algebraic
methods to explore, model, and describe patterns and functions involving numbers, shapes,
data, and graphs in problem- solving situations and communicate the
reasoning used in solving these problems.
·
STANDARD 4: Students use geometric
concepts, properties, and relationships in problem-solving situations
and communicate the reasoning used in solving these problems.
o
constructing two- and three-dimensional models using a variety of materials
and tools; (grades 5-8)
o
describing, analyzing, and reasoning informally about the properties
(for example, parallelism, perpendicularity, congruence) of two-
and three-dimensional figures (grades 5-8)
o
applying the concepts of ratio, proportion, and similarity* in problem-solving
situations; (grades 5-8)
o
solving problems using coordinate geometry*(grades 5-8)
o
solving problems involving perimeter and area in two dimensions, and
involving surface area and volume* in three dimensions; (grades 5-8)
o
transforming geometric figures using reflections*,
translations*, and rotations* to explore congruence. (grades 5-8)
o
finding and analyzing relationships among geometric figures using transformations
(for example, reflections, translations, rotations, dilations*) in
coordinate systems*; (grades 9-12)
o
deriving and using methods to measure perimeter, area, and volume of
regular and irregular geometric figures; (grades 9-12)
o
making and testing conjectures about geometric shapes and their properties,
incorporating technology where appropriate (grades 9-12) Technology Connection:

Procedures:
·
Before starting the lesson,
check out the lesson plans on the Polaroid Web Site:
o
http://www.polaroid.com/education/education.jsp?PRDREG=US
·
Designate an EXPERT on the digital camera from each group.
Have them teach the others in the group to use the digital camera.
·
Whole group activity: Using Inspiration,
draw a concept map of different geometry shapes and terms. Independently, view the different types of shapes using
Inspiration Software.
·
Geometry is a very visual subject. Most of the vocabulary involves things
that you can see. This lesson will guide the students through
a camera scavenger hunt that requires that they photograph objects that
represent or incorporate geometric shapes. A score sheet is provided.
·
The students will work in groups using a digital camera to photograph
math shapes in natural and man-made surroundings. They will use the
score sheet as a guide. · Each group will prepare one slide show using the photos and captions to describe each photo Students should use vocabulary terms from the list provided. Points will be awarded for each vocabulary term used. A minimum of 12 slides – one for each of the categories (A-K) and a title slide. (For EDU 270 photograph 6 categories – so your group will have 7 slides, including the title slide.)
·
Save a copy one each person’s Zip disk · Students will present their slide shows to the other groups.
·
Print out a copy of each slide show (4 to a page) for each group member’s
portfolio. Assessment:
