I. OBJECTIVES:

Students will be able to create a quiz to show understanding of the information taught throughout the Geometry Unit.

 

II. MATERIALS:

Microsoft PowerPoint, digital pictures from previous lessons

 

Grade Level Content Expectations (GLCE):

M.T.E. 04.10 Identify right angles and compare angles to right angles.

G.GS.03.04 Identify, describe, compare and classify two-dimensional shapes e.g. parallelograms, trapezoid, circle, rectangle, square, and rhombuses, based on their component parts (angles, sides, vertices, line segments) and on the number of sides and vertices.

G.CS.04.02  Identify basic geometric shapes, including, isosceles, equilateral, and right triangles.

D.RE.04.02 Construct tables and bar graphs from given data.

D.RE.04.03 Solve problems using data presented in tables and bar graphs. E.g. compare data represented in two bar graphs showing 2 data sets.

 

 

National Educational Technology Standards (NETS):

1. Use keyboard and other common input and output devices (including adaptive devices when necessary) efficiently and effectively.

4. Use general purpose productivity tolls and peripherals to support personal productivity, remediate skill deficits, and facilitate learning throughout the curriculum.

 

III. PROCEDURE:

 

            a. Purpose

To give students practice creating questions to check for understanding.  Microsoft PowerPoint allows the student to link slides for correct and incorrect answers.

 

            b. Anticipatory Set

The teacher will review concepts taught throughout the unit.  Then, the class will discuss the steps to creating a slide in PowerPoint.

 

            c. Questions to check for understanding

·        What are the types of angles we learned about?

·        How do I identify a polygon?

·        How do I create a new slide in PowerPoint?

·        How do I link two slides in PowerPoint?

 

            d. Modeling Activity

·        Have the students, working in pairs; create a title slide for their quiz.  It must include a title for the quiz and their names.

·        The next slide should contain their first question, with multiple choice answers.

·        They should then create correct and incorrect answers slides.

·        The correct answer should be linked to the corresponding slide, as should the incorrect answer be linked to the incorrect answer slide.

·        The students can repeat the procedure for a second question.  They may reuse the original correct and incorrect answer slides to be linked to the second question.

 

 

            e. Guided and Independent Practice

The students will work on their projects independently.  The teacher will circulate to be certain students are using the program properly.

 

            f. Closure Activity

The teacher will check the quizzes for accuracy, and then the students will take one another’s quizzes during their next trip to the computer lab.

 

 

IV. ASSESSMENT OF OBJECTIVES/ EVALUATION:
