Preview Resources
The instructor reviewed the Edpuzzle video for accuracy and edited questions that would align with the current standard. The length of this video was edited as well to ensure ample time to view the video and complete the embedded questions that went along.
The tutorial video from Khan Academy was previewed along with questions to ensure correctness
Students were asked to login to Edpuzzle and Khan Academy to ensure they could login without issues
The teacher reviewed GeoGebra site for “Battle Ships” activity
Prepare Resources
Videos (Edpuzzle and Khan Academy) were assigned to students for review during rotations. Hyperlinks were added for easy access.
Edpuzzle : Quadrants and Plotting instructional video along with embedded questions for students in Rotation 1
Teacher led small group: “Battleship Geogebra” activity teacher will explain directions to students and allow collaboration and play in Rotation 2
Khan Academy: students watch an instructional video and answer questions on how to find the distance between two points having the same x or y coordinate
Prepare the Environment
This lesson was given in the classroom through a blended learning model “rotation model”. At the beginning of class students were assigned 3 rotation groups that they would be working with all class period. Each group starts at their number rotation station. Students were encouraged to ask group embers questions if they became confused at any point. All students checked their devices to ensure connectivity.
Prepare the Learners
Students were all prepared for this lesson. The day before the instructor conducted a poll with students asking how to plot/ read points. The results showed majority of the students had some idea of how to plot/read coordinates. Students had some prior knowledge of this content. Students are familiar with using Edpuzzle and Khan Academy and know how to takes notes that could be used as a reference point.
Provide Learner Experieces
- Students can understand location of a number and its opposite on the number line
- Students can plot rational numbers on a vertical/horizontal number line
- Students can understand each quadrant on the coordinate plane
- Students can understand the coordinates of an ordered pair
- Students can understand the signs of ordered pairs are an indication of their location on the axis.
- Students can understand the signs of the coordinates in an ordered pair indicates location in a quadrant
- Students were placed in groups that they rotated with and collaborated with
- Students work/answers were all submitted using Edpuzzle and Khan Academy for immediate feedback
