Week+6+Lesson+2



Name that Quadrilateral **Subject Area: **Math **Grade** 7 **Lesson Summary:** Students in the 7th grade will be heterogeneously ability grouped and with student-centered activities identify the classifications to which  the following quadrilaterals: parallelogram, rhombus, square, rectangle, and trapezoid belong using deductive reasoning and inference. Students will sort quadrilaterals, identify properties attributed to a quadrilateral, watch an engaging video, play games reinforcing identification and classification of a quadrilateral, and complete a Word document depicting a quadrilateral family tree and traits of each family member. **Diverse Learning Group Problems of Interest:** Differentiated Instruction, Working in small group and/or pairs || Varied || Music, physical movement, technology || kinesthetic, interpersonal visual || (not identified LD) || Differentiated Instruction, Working in small group and/or pairs.

Call of Geometry: Quadrilateral Warfare || Identify and categorize quadrilaterals || provides characteristics of quadrilaterals. || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Specify Problem: ** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Currently, students are able to identify quadrilaterals through pictorial representations. Can students utilize higher level thinking skills of deduction and inference to identify the classification in which a quadrilateral belongs and compare/contrast quadrilaterals' attributes? <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Results Presentation:** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The results will be shown through the accurate completion of quadrilateral sort warm up, quadrilateral characteristic worksheet, and the culminating activity of quadrilateral family tree with traits for all family members. **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Multidimensional Activities: ** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Lesson Introduction: Lesson will be introduced through a quadrilateral sort warm up <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Computer Activity: The computer activities include learning quadrilaterals' classifications and characteristic through a song on YouTube, playing two interactive games on the web to reinforce the students' classification and characterization knowledge. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Supporting Activities: Quadrilateral characteristic worksheet will follow the sort and YouTube video <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Culminating Activity: Finishing a quadrilateral family tree with characteristic Word document. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Lesson Introduction:** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Divide the students into heterogeneously ability grouped pairs and direct each pair to use their sorting pieces to answer the questions on the “Quadrilateral Activity” worksheet. After the students have completed the quadrilateral sorting and worksheet, the pairs of groups will compare their answers and reconcile any discrepancies. When students have finished discussing their results, the teacher will then ask questions to the students to ensure the accuracy of their worksheets and reasoning. Inform the students they will continue to work in pairs and will watch a video that teaches the characteristics of quadrilaterals through a song, and then they will complete the "Quadrilateral Properties" worksheet. When the pairs have finished, they will raise their hands for the teacher to check for accuracy. The students can then play quadrilateral games on the web to reinforce the lesson. Finally, the students will complete the Word document of the Quadrilateral Family Tree. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> **Computer Activities:** Activities to be completed prior to going to the computer: 1. Pick up Quadrilateral Properties worksheet || Activity 2 Activities to be completed prior to going to the computer: 1. Ensure quadrilateral activity and properties worksheets are complete and have been checked by teacher. || Activity 3 Activities to be completed prior to going to the computer: 1. Draw a family tree of quadrilaterals. 2. Discuss with partner why the quadrilaterals are placed where they are. || 1. Log-on the computer 2. Use Firefox as the web browser. 3. Watch the YouTube video bookmarked in the collaborative bookmarking website || At the computer: 1. Log-on computer 2. Use Firefox as the web browser 3. Play the two games bookmarked in the collaborative bookmarking website. || At the computer: 1. Log on computer 2.On the desktop, there is a Word document entitled "Quadrilateral Family Tree." Double clicked on this Word Document. 3. Complete the Family Tree with the quadrilateral names of Trapezoid, Rhombus, Rectangle, Square, and Parallelogram. List two characteristics for all of the quadrilaterals listed. 4. Print Word document. 5. Save on thumb drive. || 1. Complete the Quadrilateral Properties worksheet. When completed, raise hands for teacher to review answers for accuracy || After the computer: 1. Choose two quadrilaterals. How are these quadrilaterals alike? How are they different? 2. List all the quadrilaterals which could be classified as a parallelogram? 3. List all the quadrilaterals which could be classified a rectangle? || After the computer: 1. Answer the following questions on a separate sheet of paper. a) Why is a square a rectangle, but a rectangle is not a square? b) How are rhombus and square alike? different? c) Why are a rhombus, square, and rectangle considered a parallelogram? d) Why is a trapezoid not a parallelogram? || <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Supporting Activities**: 1. After completing the properties worksheet, sort the quadrilaterals listed into two categories || Activity 2 1. Look around the room and find objects that are quadrilaterals. List the found objects and classify them. || Activity 3 1. Assist other students as needed. 2. Draw your own created quadrilateral. What is its classification and why? || **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Culminating Activity: ** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Each pair of students will give the teacher their completed Family Tree and characteristics Word document. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Rotation Plan to Work:** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Students will have one computer per pair of students. The students will have 90 minutes to complete Warm Up sort and activity sheet, quadrilateral properties worksheet, watch video, play interactive games, and complete quadrilateral family tree. <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">**Assessments:** Word document || <60% of the Family Tree and characteristics are correct. || >60% but <80% of the Family Tree and characteristics are correct. || >80% of the Family Tree and characteristics are correct || 100% of the Family Tree and characteristics are correct ||  || **<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;"> Phase 3: ** <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Step 6: Analyze Results <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">The teacher can determine if all objectives have been met by analyzing the student completed quadrilateral properties worksheet and family tree. Examination of the assessments will also reveal if the low-ability, ADHD, and ESL were given the opportunity to be successful in this environment. For students who performed below expectations, one-on-one discussions will be held privately with students to provide feedback and input to the teacher.

<span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">Step 7: Make Revisions <span style="font-family: 'Comic Sans MS',cursive;">After reviewing student performance and discussions, the teacher can determine what part of the lesson needs to be amended to better meet students' needs. Some of the pertinent information may need to be re-taught via one-on-one tutoring, small group, or whole group before proceeding to another lesson.
