(All Sections in chapter 4, 5,and 6)

Agenda

It is said that the best way to learn is to teach. This project#3 is giving you the opportunity to experience being a teacher for a day. The requirements are to be prepared and motivated to do mathematics. The following list must be included in the lesson that you are teaching.

  • Warm Up (20 points)
  • Lesson: Class Notes

(20 points)

  • Class Activity: Math Game

(20 points)

  • Class Work

(20 points)

  • Exit Ticket

(20 points)

The Lessons to be taughtare in one of the following list. You pick one however it can’t be repeated. Each Group must pick a different section.

In order to get full credit the student must be doing his/her work. Every student will be graded individually and I will be asking each student questions about the project. The organizer and presenter must change roles when it is necessary to balance the load of work.

There will be two or three assigned students in each group and each one will have a duty;

  1. The leader needs to make sure all of these objectives are done in a timely manner, and all the group members are engaged in doing their work by putting a check mark when each of these objectives are accomplished and noting the total points that can be earned.
  1. The organizerorganizes the lesson, plays the math game and explains the class activities. He monitors students and make sure the students are on task and pay attention by giving them points.
  1. The Presenter will teach the lessonchosen from the above list (only one section).

Be Creative and Be on Task Doing Everything on Time.Total points possible is 100 points if everybody is doing his/her work by participating and being involved helping the other group members.
