Micro-Teaching: Lesson Plan

Topic: Graphing Relations
Grade: 10
Partner: Sissi
Objective/Goals: Students will be able to describe a possible situation for a given graph and sketch a possible graph for a given situation.
Time: 15 minutes
Strategies to help learn: Class is set in groups to allow students to work together. Also, it is inquiry based learning; students will develop critical thinking and collaborative skills
Hook: Kahoot quiz serves as a hook
Materials required: Computer, colorful envelopes (group activity), large paper for the group activity, markers
Assessment: The group activity will act as formative assessment of their knowledge, and the kahoot will serve as a check of prior knowledge.
Assumed prior knowledge: It is assumed that students will know the axes of a graph, as well as the coordinates of a graph, and be able to plot a graph given the points
Development of idea/skill:
** Possibly start off by checking for prior knowledge on rate of change (go over constant, not constant, and no rate of change using desmos?)
  • Start off with Kahoot Quiz
    • state that students are able to get into groups (MAX: 2) so this allows students to collaborate
  • Group Activity: groups receive envelope and either have to create a situation for a given graph, or create a graph for a given situation
    • if time permits, each group gives their answer
  • Conclusion/come together and talk about underlying message of lesson
Conclusion: Go over key points of the lesson (i.e. rate of change)
Further extensions/Applications:  Extra envelopes for students who finish earlier, talk about speed in physics (driving and the speed you drive)
  • exponential growth can be related to decay and half-life, and also finances (analyzing stock market history…?)
