1. Mathematics Pythagorean Theorem
Make sure this slide is completed. Students will NOT view this slide. This slide is for lesson planning purposes only.

2. From which standard is today’s learning taken?
Standard: 8.G.B.7 Apply the Pythagorean Theorem to determine unknown side lengths in right triangles in real-world and mathematical problems in two and three dimensions.
TODAY’S TASK: Students will solve the following problem using the Pythagorean Theorem: Your mom said that if you find a television that will fit the empty space in your room for less than $75, she will buy the television for you for Christmas. You saw an advertisement for a TV that cost $60. The TV is 16 inches high and 14 inches wide. Calculate the diagonal length of the TV so you can determine if it will fit. Use the sticks provided to create a space large enough for the television to fit.
Students will NOT view this slide. This slide is for lesson planning purposes ONLY.
Once you have written the standard, align TODAY’S TASK to the standard. TODAY’S TASK is also written on another slide AND displayed on the board.
Color code the standard to match the corresponding part of the task that was designed to match that particular part of the standard.
TODAY’S TASK will be the last assignment (ticket-out the door) that students complete.
TODAY’S TASK will show you if students are able to demonstrate the standard with fidelity.
TODAY’S TASK is written using a verb from three different levels of Bloom’s (analysis, synthesis, and evaluation)
Bold and underline the analysis, synthesis and evaluation level verbs you use in the task.
*In the ANALYSIS level of Bloom’s, students break down objects or ideas into simpler parts and find evidence to support generalizations. The verbs to use in this level are: analyze, appraise, breakdown, calculate, categorize, compare, contrast, criticize, diagram, differentiate, discriminate, distinguish, examine, experiment, identify, illustrate, infer, model, outline, point out, question, relate, select, separate, subdivide, test
*In the SYNTHESIS level of Bloom’s, students compile component ideas into a new whole or propose alternative solutions. The verbs to use in this level are: arrange, assemble, categorize, collect, combine, comply, compose, construct, create, design, develop, devise, develop, devise, explain, formulate, generate, plan, prepare, rearrange, reconstruct, relate, reorganize, revise, rewrite, set up, summarize, synthesize, tell, write
*In the EVALUATION level of Bloom’s, students make and defend judgments based on internal evidence or external criteria. The verbs to use in this level are: appraise, argue, assess, attach, choose, compare, conclude, contrast, defend, describe, discriminate, estimate, evaluate, explain, judge, justify, interpret, relate, predict, rate, select, summarize, support, value

3. Bellwork 8 minutes 7 minutes 9 minutes 10 minutes 12 minutes
TIME IS UP!
4 minutes
1 minute
2 minutes
3 minutes
Solve the following problems:
Which color triangle is a right triangle? How do you know?
Label the parts of the right triangle.
Read “What’s your angle Pythagorus?” and begin completing the guided notes activity.
Instructional supplies and copied are prepared.
This is the 1st slide seen by students. The time does not begin until you click the slide.
This slide should be “clicked” when the bell rings ending class (there is enough time allotted for students to have 8 minutes to complete bellwork from when the short bell sounds.
Bellwork introduces the lesson or is a warm-up to what students are going to do today. In some cases, bellwork is a review of what happened during the last class period.
Write your bellwork in the space provided. If you are giving students a hand-out to complete, make a notation on this slide.
When this slide is finished, bellwork should be collected BEFORE you go over the answers.
All bellwork must be graded and returned in 24 hours or the grade will not count.
Time is not extended.
***Students should answer three standards-based questions (test questions)

4. Bellwork Breakdown 3 minutes 4 minutes 2 minutes 1 minute TIME IS UP!
See student solutions on the whiteboard….
Use this time/slide to discuss the correct answers/responses to the bellwork students have just completed. REMEMBER to take up the bellwork BEFORE discussing the bellwork so that you truly know what students know and are able to do.

5. Connection 3 minutes 2 minutes 1 minute TIME IS UP!
Today, you will learn: How to apply the Pythagorean Theorem in real-world context.
Why is this important?: Students will understand how to calculate distances as well as the size of different objects in the real-world.
Today’s Text: What’s your angle Pythagorus?
Today’s Task: Students will illustrate the Pythagorean theorem given a word problem, set-up the correct formula to find the unknown side and justify their illustration by solving for the unknown side.
The information on this slide should also be written on the board (this is the white board protocol).
After you have gone over the bellwork, and BEFORE you frontload for the day, you should engage students in this connection slide.
Today, you will learn: This should be written in student-friendly language and should be no more than 10 words total
Why is this important: This should be written in student-friendly language and should have NOTHING to do with EOY testing. Write this statement in no more than 10 words total
Today’s Text: Every lesson should be driven by text. What text will you use to drive this work?
Today’s Task: Copy TODAY’S TASK from slide 2

6. Quick Check 3 minutes 4 minutes 6 minutes 5 minutes 2 minutes 1 minute
TIME IS UP!
Let’s review exponents! Watch this video: Now, create one mathematical expression that includes an exponent and allow your elbow partner to solve it. Grade their work!
Quick check is the opportunity to check prerequisite skills
This is a timed assignment
This can be definitions, parts of speech, or a mini lesson based on some issue with which students struggle

7. Frontloading 3 minutes 4 minutes 6 minutes 5 minutes 2 minutes
TIME IS UP!
We are going to watch 55 seconds of this video. After we finish watching the video, I want you and your group to decide how you would use Math to determine how long the slide needs to be. You will have 2 minutes to decide.
Now, finish the guided notes using “What’s your angle Pythagorus?” . You will have 2 minutes to finish these notes.

Students who got #1, #2 correct on the bellwork and the finished the guided notes activity
Your mom said that if you find a television that will fit the empty space in your room for less than $75, she will buy the television for you for Christmas. You saw an advertisement for a TV that cost $60. The TV is 16 inches high and 14 inches wide. Calculate the diagonal length of the TV so you can determine if it will fit. Use the sticks provided to create a space large enough for the television to fit.
Decide which students will begin in which tier. True differentiation does not require all students to complete all assignments.
The “TIER 1” assignment should utilize verbs from the KNOWLEDGE level of Bloom’s.
*In the KNOWLEDGE level of Bloom’s, students remember/recall previously learned information. The verbs to use in this level are: arrange, define, describe, duplicate, identify, label, list, match, memorize, name, order, outline, recognize, relate, recall, repeat, reproduce, select, state
The “TIER 2” assignment should utilize verbs from the COMPREHENSION and APPLICATION levels of Bloom’s.
*In the COMPREHENSION level of Bloom’s, students demonstrate an understanding of the facts. The verbs to use in this level are: classify, convert, defend, describe, discuss, distinguish, estimate, explain, express, extend, generalized, give examples, identify, indicate, infer, locate, paraphrase, predict, recognize, rewrite, review, select, summarize, translate
*In the APPLICATION level of Bloom’s, students apply knowledge to actual situations. The verbs to use in this level are: apply, change, choose, compute, demonstrate, discover, dramatize, employ, illustrate, interpret, manipulate, modify, operate, practice, predict, prepare, produce, relate, schedule, show, sketch, solve, use, write
Today’s Task is simply copied from slide 2 of this presentation. This is the last assignment students will complete before leaving class. Students only have 12 minutes to complete this assignment and timing for this assignment will continue on the next few slides.
