|Team Members: Caitlin Haig, Kearsten Smith |Exploring Isosceles Triangles |

|Lesson #2 |Lesson Source (kit, lesson): |

|Date lesson will be taught: 9th and 12th Nov 2012 |Math Printable Worksheets (Evaluation Triangles Source) |

|Grade level: 9th |Triangle Optical Illusion Source |

|Concepts/Main Idea – |

|During this lesson students will learn about three different types of triangles; Isosceles, Equilateral, and Scalene. Students will learn the defining characteristics of each type and be able to apply that |

|knowledge following the lesson to identify each type. |

|Objective/s- Write objectives in SWBAT form… |Evaluation |

|The Students Will Be Able To: |In the space below, explain the type(s) of evaluation that will provide evidence that students have learned |

| |the objectives of the lesson (formative and summative). You will provide student copies at the end of the |

| |lesson. |

| | |

|Summarize the definition/properties of an isosceles triangle in their own words. |Evaluation for objectives 1 and 2 for scalene triangles will be determined from the organizer (sections |

|Measure the angles and sides of a triangle using a protractor and ruler. |entitled description/properties, definition, and draw). Evaluation for objective 3 for scalene triangles will|

|Construct an isosceles triangle using protractor and ruler. |be determined informally through the use of the Triangle Worksheet and note cards. ( the examples from the |

|Categorize triangles as isosceles or not isosceles based on their properties. |worksheet will be shown to the students and they will hold up blue for scalene and red for not scalene) |

|Connect isosceles triangles to multiple real world examples. | |

Kansas Science and Math Standards- Include standard, benchmark and indicator where applicable

Math: Must include Common Core Math Practice Standard and tested indicator (2003 standards), if applicable.

Math Common Core 5: Use appropriate tools strategically. Using age-appropriate tools and materials.

Math Common Core G.CO.10: Prove theorems about triangles. (measures of interior angles of a triangle sum to 180(, base angles of isosceles triangles are congruent)

|Materials list (BE SPECIFIC about quantities) |Accommodations: Include a general statement and any specific student needs |

|for | |

|Whole Class: |Students will be presented with many visual aids and written handouts. Students |

|Each student: |will also be working in groups during most of the activities in this lesson and |

|One Optical Illusion Worksheet |will be encouraged to discuss concepts and topics with peers. |

|One Isosceles Organizer (attached to back of name tent) |One activity will get students out of their chairs in a cooperative learning |

|One Name Tent |activity, allowing ELL students to interact with their peers and receive help if |

|3 Note Cards (Red, Yellow, Blue) |needed from peers rather than the teacher. ADHD students will receive this |

|One Triangle Booklet to record data |opportunity to get out of their seats and move around. All instructions are |

|One Ruler |written down and the organizer allows for ELL students to have a list of the main|

|One Protractor |vocabulary along with visuals. |

|Each group: | |

|One ruler | |

|One protractor | |

|One Job Badge for each job (3 Job Badges) | |

|**Rulers and protractors will start out with one per group and later on in the lesson, each student will need one. It is | |

|not advised that every student get one in the beginning. | |

| |Safety: Include a general statement and any specific safety concerns |

| | |

| |Normal classroom safety rules will apply; no other safety rules should be |

| |required. Teachers should be sure to monitor the group work to be sure that |

| |groups are working together appropriately and respectfully. The rulers and |

| |protractors should be taken from students using them inappropriately. |

| | | |

|Show students the optical illusion and have them try and guess how |(There are 47 triangles in the picture) | |

|many triangles are in the picture. This activity will introduce the | | |

|different shapes that triangles can be seen as. |What do you notice about the triangles in this picture? |Some have long sides, small angles, big angles, short sides, etc. |

| | | |

| |Take the next two minutes to write down everything you know | |

| |about triangles. Now share with your group what you thought | |

| |of. | |

| |What were some of the facts that you know about triangles? |They have three sides. They have three angles. There are different |

| | |types. |

| |Teacher: Tell students that there are 3 types of triangles: | |

| |scalene, isosceles, equilateral. They will define these | |

| |triangles in the exploration. Use engage to transition into | |

| |learning about isosceles triangles: “One of these types of | |

| |triangles is called isosceles” | |

|Teacher Decision Check Point: Once students have shared their prior knowledge, they can move on to the Explore |

|boards, student questions, etc. Look at your Teacher Decision Check Point)? |

| |

|The worksheets used in both the exploration and the elaboration will provide a formative assessment. Students will also be showed the examples of triangles in the Triangles Worksheet and asked to hold up |

|note cards based on whether they think the triangle is isosceles or not as an informal assessment. |

| |

| |

|Summative Assessment: Provide a student copy of the final assessment/exit slips or other summative assessments you use in the lesson |
