SmartBoard Lesson Plans
- 1. SmartBoard Lesson Plans: Variables and Expressions By Kayleigh George
- 4. Overview Variables and expressions were difficult for me to grasp when I was a student so having a lesson plan already created will help me explain them much easier
- 5. Adaptations Something I saw in the lesson was stating the standards and objects which is very important to include for both the student and teacher I also like the idea of definitions but I would include notes for the students so that they can write down the definitions (this helps the information to soak in) Perhaps before even showing the students the definition, I would ask them what they think each term means (inquiry learning) Using examples like the one to the right, I would make sure that the students would come up to the board and Ex: (2)(3)=6 The factors are: The product is:
- 6. Adaptations cont. ● The lesson included how to take a verbal math expression and make it an algebraic expression. I would include this by showing the students examples and then letting them try it out ● I would also make sure to have my students practice saying the words and phrases out loud to ensure that it really sticks ● I really liked the “tips to remember” slide because students tend to forget what they have just learned and this will help remind them ● Finally, I would end the lesson with lots and lots of practice of all different styles such as games and of course homework
- 7. How Does This Relate to Universal Design?
- 8. This lesson plan would support universal design because it involves visuals, audio, written notes, as well as options for the students to try problems on their own and explore the smartboard. The variety of styles allows for all students regardless of learning abilities to participate and learn the material. Universal Design
