Just as an actor focuses on his script and a musician on the score, so must a teacher focus on a lesson plan. Teaching Secondary School Mathematics: Techniques and Enrichment Units Posamentier and Stepelman, 1995, p /23/20157

Why have lesson plans? 12/23/20158

 To help teacher organize thoughts and materials needed for lesson (learning activity, teaching strategy, and assessment instrument).  To ensure that teacher actually teaches the required curriculum (including standards required by law).  To assist the teacher to become a more reflective decision maker. 12/23/20159

The quality of the lessons you deliver is the essence of teaching. 12/23/201510

The best lessons contain a clear purpose, actively engage the students, cater to various learning styles, and challenge the students with higher level questions. 12/23/201511

There are three levels of lesson planning:  Long-term planning  Short-term planning  Daily planning 12/23/201512

 Subject content  Reading in the content area  Curriculum mapping  Integration of multiple subject areas What do you want students to know when they complete the day, semester, or year lesson(s)? 12/23/201513

Science teachers also need to know how to plan for:  Laboratory activities  Teaching controversial issues such as evolution  Lab safety  The use of science-specific graphic organizers. 12/23/201514

 How you teach is also an important consideration when planning.  Teachers tend to teach the way they were taught.  Different students learn different topics in different ways, so it is important to include a mix of teaching techniques in your lesson plans. 12/23/201515

How were you taught? How do you think you learn best? What are some other instructional strategies that might have been used? 12/23/201516

 Direct instruction  Cooperative learning groups  Inquiry (structured, guided, open)  Peer teaching  Concept maps / mindmaps  Learning centers  Problem / community based 12/23/201517

 Some of most effective science lessons are based on inquiry learning, where the locus of control shifts from the teacher to the students.  Inquiry lessons lie on a continuum from structured to free. 12/23/201518

 A real-world problem provides context and motivation for students to learn scientific content.  Learning is shaped by the student (inquiry) while the teacher acts as a guide, helping with content and metacognitive skills 12/23/201519

 Cooperative groups can contribute to better comprehension, higher scores and higher satisfaction.  Group lessons must be well organized to be effective.  Group work is not simply an excuse for the teacher to do something else. 2012/23/2015 M-DCPS Division of Mathematics, Science and Advanced Academic Programs

 Cooperative learning  Peer response  Think-pair-share  Discussion circles  Paired problem solving  Reciprocal teaching  Jigsaw 2112/23/2015 M-DCPS Division of Mathematics, Science and Advanced Academic Programs

 Random—numbering off, matching pictures, etc  Purposeful—using set criteria, i.e., high/low achievers, male/female, etc. Studies have shown that diverse groups are best. It is also a good idea not to keep the same groups repeatedly. 12/23/ M-DCPS Division of Mathematics, Science and Advanced Academic Programs

 Leader / recorder / speaker / materials (go-getter)  Facilitator / recorder / reporter / data processor Other group roles may include tasks such as timer, illustrator and so on. 2412/23/2015 M-DCPS Division of Mathematics, Science and Advanced Academic Programs

 Remember, there is no “magic” new instructional method that will work in every situation.  Incorporate a variety of teaching methods into your lessons. 12/23/ M-DCPS Division of Mathematics, Science and Advanced Academic Programs

Questions to Stimulate Student Thinking and Accountable Talk 12/23/2015 M-DCPS Division of Mathematics, Science and Advanced Academic Programs33

Q UESTIONS TO S TIMULATE S TUDENT T HINKING AND A CCOUNTABLE T ALK To encourage students' reasoning about mathematics and science, and to involve them in higher-order thinking processes, teachers must be adept at posing clarifying and provocative questions. Florida Curriculum Framework, p /23/ M-DCPS Division of Mathematics, Science and Advanced Academic Programs

Helping students work together to make sense of mathematics or science: "What do others think about what Sam said?" "Do you agree? Disagree?" "Does anyone have the same answer but a different way to explain it?" "Would you ask the rest of the class that question?" "Do you understand what they are saying?" "Can you convince the rest of us that makes sense?" Q UESTIONS TO S TIMULATE S TUDENT T HINKING AND A CCOUNTABLE T ALK 12/23/ M-DCPS Division of Mathematics, Science and Advanced Academic Programs

Helping students to rely more on themselves to determine whether something is correct:  "Why do you think that?"  "Why is that true?"  "How did you reach that conclusion?"  "Does that make sense?“  "Can you make a model to show that?"

Helping students learn to conjecture, invent, and solve problems:  "What would happen if...?"  "Do you see a pattern?"  "What are some possibilities here?"  "Can you predict the next one? What about the last one?"  "How did you approach the problem?"  "What decision do you think he should make?"  "What is alike and what is different about your method of solution and hers?" Q UESTIONS TO S TIMULATE S TUDENT T HINKING AND A CCOUNTABLE T ALK 12/23/ M-DCPS Division of Mathematics, Science and Advanced Academic Programs

Helping students to make connections within the content, between content areas, and to the real world  "How does this relate to...?"  "What ideas that we have learned before were useful in solving the problem?"  "Have we ever solved a problem like this one before?"  "What uses of mathematics [science] did you find on the news/Internet/television last night?"  "Can you give me an example of... in the real world?"

How Are We Going to Know They Know It? Sample problem from 8 th grade FCAT Sample Test 12/23/ M-DCPS Division of Mathematics, Science and Advanced Academic Programs Ethan is observing chemical and physical properties of a substance. He heats up a substance and observes that the substance turns from a brown solid to a black powder. He refers to several chemistry journals that claim this represents a chemical reaction. From his observation and research, he concludes that the substance goes through a chemical change when heated. How can Ethan best defend his conclusion? A. by demonstrating that the substance will eventually melt if the temperature continues to increase B. by verifying that the substance is now made up of different molecules than before it was heated C. by verifying that the substance is made up of only one type of element D. by demonstrating that the substance is less dense after it is heated

Just as no performer enjoys playing the same role day in and day out, so no student enjoys sitting for the same type of lesson every day. It kills initiative and dulls the imagination. Variety is what makes the learning process, as well as the teaching aspect of that process, a pleasant one.
