Smart Board Activity

Math lesson




NETS:
Use technology resources (e.g., calculators, data collection probes, videos, educational software) for problem solving, self-directed learning, and extended learning activities.



EALRS & GLE's:



1.3 Understand and apply concepts and procedures from geometric sense:
Use a compass and straightedge, and/or computer software to perform geometric constructions.



Activity Plan:



1)The activity that I am planing to do in the classroom is a Math activity on Angles. This activity is highly interactive and really helps students understand the concept of angles.



2)I will prepare for this activity by doing the activity on the smartboard ahead of time so that I know that all of the links on the activity work. I also want to make sure that the activity is age appropriate for the students.



3)The class will be highly active in this activity because this lesson requires the students to measure angles and place angles into their different categories. The students will be assessed according to whether or not they can identify the different angles that are part of the lesson and also based on students participation.



4)I think students would really benefit from this technology because it is highly interactive and students can learn in an open environment where they can learn from each other. I also think that students would enjoy doing this activity on the smartboard rather than on paper because by introducing technology students they are able to use a language that they truly understand. I could use this activity with diverse students because for every category there is a title, and under the title you can insert the right angles. This way students who do not speak English can learn the term while seeing the visual examples. I also think this will help students with ADD because it is introducing new forms of learning in forms that they are used to working with.
