Explain HOW you will integrate language and content so that the content is a model to grow students’ language.

● “Derive proofs that involve the properties of angles and triangles. [CN, R, V]”
● “Solve problems that involve properties of angles and triangles. [CN, PS, V]”
● Analyze and prove conjectures, using inductive and deductive reasoning, to solve problems. [C, CN, PS, R]”

assessments in this lesson?

By the end of this lesson students will… develop an Formative Assessment:

understanding of the angles associated with parallel lines ● Class discussion
and transversals. ● I Do, We Do, You Do

Lesson Plan Sequence
Introduction: The HOOK (5 min)
How will you ACTIVATE prior knowledge and ENGAGE them in the lesson and how does this lesson connect to prior lessons?

After giving the students time to settle down and prepare, the lesson will begin with a quick review of the previous class,
that being “Investigating Angle Relationships”. The teacher will ask if there are any questions the students have and do a
brief overview of the main concepts.

Learning/Activity Sequence
How will students ENGAGE, EXPLORE, EXPLAIN, ELABORATE, and/or EVALUATE their understandings of the outcomes?

● Parallel lines are often denoted by arrows
● Just because 2 lines may look parallel, that
is not always the case.
● Point out the angles in the diagram and
mention that this lesson is about finding
the relationships between the angles.

Introduce corresponding angles. Do two examples, 8 min

one from the book and one you make up:
● Demonstrate to the students the different
sections of the parallel lines/transversals
and state that they are equal
● Utilize a protractor to prove your above
statements
● Demonstrate the F-shape to show how to
find corresponding angles

Next, complete the workbook example. Do the first Students should try their best to complete the 8 min

Conclusion
What activity can you do (or what questions can you ask) to close the lesson to ensure that students walk away with a sense of
understanding the PURPOSE of the lesson and its IMPORTANCE to their learning

Assign the homework questions to the students. If there is remaining time before the period ends, give the students time
to work on the homework questions and ask questions as needed.

Pre-Service Teacher Self-Reflection
In your self-reflection of your lesson, please consider the following questions:
1. What went well in your lesson? What were the strengths of the lesson?
2. What needs refinement? What might you do differently next time?

Addition Questions:
● How do you feel your students experienced this lesson?
● How were they able to make explicit and self-evaluate their growing understanding, skills and/or knowledge?
● How did you employ formative assessment for/of/as learning?
● Were you successful in reaching all students? How do you know? How did you accommodate for diverse learners and those
requiring accommodations?
● Were there opportunities to address Indigenous, multicultural and interdisciplinary activities and knowledge?
● What went well and what needs refinement? What might you do differently next time?

● I think that most aspects of this lesson went well. I did stray away from the lesson plan a bit when it came to
proving using a protractor as I sensed that the students would not be interested in it.
● Strengths of this lesson (in my opinion):
○ All of the concepts we learned in this lesson are very visual. I thought that my use of my iPad, pre-made
notes/visuals, and different pens/highlights made it easier for the students to understand.
○ The lesson was very interactive - I was constantly asking questions and the students were answering back.
This demonstrates that the students were engaged and serves as a method of formative assessment.
○ Effectively covered all the desired learning objectives.
○ Little emphasis on memorization.
○ Balance of both conceptual and procedural understanding.
● Weaknesses of this lesson (in my opinion):
○ This will come with time, but I found myself messing up my words every now and then.
○ The lesson ended up being longer than I wanted it to be. I was able to cover all the concepts, however I
left out all the additional examples and gave the students time to work on their own instead.
○ Did not address common student misconceptions.
● When I prepare my lesson, it is always catered around the low to average student (low-floor). One question that I
asked myself after the lesson is “How can I keep those who are excelling in math engaged?” (high-ceiling). One
thing that I will actively work on in the future is how I can curate a lesson that addresses diverse levels of
understanding (making it more inquiry-based).
