Values instilled at the lesson

Mission/Vision/Global Citizenship: Part of the school’s mission to is create lifelong learners.  Students will be asked whether they are learning the materials in class just to pass an exam, to get into a university, or to become a highly educated person.  Students will also be asked to compare and contrast the benefits and drawbacks of internal exams given only within one school and international exams given to thousands of students in dozens of nations.

Cross-curricular links

Problems on topics from this term will be connected to topics in biology and chemistry.  Most problems involve graphical and algebra skills used in mathematics classes.

ICT skills

Students will use scientific calculators to solve problems.

Previous learning

All material in this lesson has previously been taught to students.  In this lesson they will review theory and practice solving problems in preparation for exams.

Review activity (students will solve problems in pairs)

Problems are divided in the folder by topic, so they can be selected by either the teacher or the students based on what they need to review.

Student group work on review problems (optional: with game “grudgeball”)

Grudgeball rules:

Each team starts with 20 points.

Every time a team solves a problem, they will have their answer checked by a teacher

They will have one chance per problem solved to shoot a paper ball into the trash can.

If they do not make the shot, they will be able to erase the number of points their problem is worth from an other team.

If they do make the shot, they will be able to erase twice the number of points their problem is worth from another team.

The team with the most points at the end of the lesson wins.

Reflection: Students will respond to the following statements with a written answer

What is one thing that you

1)      Liked about the lesson?

2)      Are confused about?

3)      Want to learn more about?

Presentation with questions for students to answer

Differentiation – how do you plan to give more support? How do you plan to challenge the more able learners?

Assessment – how are you planning to check students’ learning?

Health and safety regulations

Problems are given different numbers of points based on their difficulty.  Students will themselves choose which level of problems to solve, and will be encouraged to attempt problems that are challenging, but doable for them.

Throughout the lesson, teachers will be circulating around the room checking students’ work for accuracy and understanding of the concept.  Today’s lesson is preparation for the summative assessment.

Students will be given a short break in the middle of the lesson to stretch and move around.
