Name of Lesson: Geometric Investigation

Grade Level: 8th grade Pre-Algebra

3 Sunshine State Standards Addressed: 1) __**MA.7.G.4.1**__ : Determine how changes in dimensions affect the perimeter, area, and volume of common geometric figures, and apply these relationships to solve problems. 2) HYPERLINK "http://www.floridastandards.org/Standards/PublicPreviewAccessPoint7162.aspx" __**MA.7.G.4.Pa.b**__ **:**Recognize objects that have been turned (rotated). 3) HYPERLINK "http://www.floridastandards.org/Standards/PublicPreviewAccessPoint7168.aspx" __**MA.7.G.4.Pa.d**__ **:**Identify similarities and differences in features of objects, such as shape and size.

As best you can tell, describe the learners for whom this lesson is intended. What else do you think you would need to know about them? || Carefully review the lesson plan. Identify the objectives. If the lesson plan has learning objectives that do NOT meet the ABCD criteria, rewrite them. you.. You should have at least 3 learning objectives that meet the ABCD formula. Remember, think Action Verbs!

 * ^  || This instructional unit is designed for grades 6 through 8 at an advanced mathematic skill level. The age range of students is 11 years old to 14 years old and none of the students have a learning disability. Filipino and Oriental origins cover the majority of students but the overall cultural background is vast. The socioeconomic status of families also vary, but not on as high of a scale. Most students come from low income or middle class homes. Students have an accelerated knowledge level of mathematic functions and properties. Most students do not have a preference in mathematics as to whether they like group or individual work better; although, students unanimously prefer the use of rubrics given ahead of time allowing them to know what is expected of them. ||

 * ^  || After analyzing characteristics and properties of three dimensional geometric shapes, students will be able to name each of the faces of common geometric solids with 90% accuracy.

Students will accurately count the number of faces, edges, and corners of various geometric solids without any error.

Students will use visualization, spatial reasoning, and geometric modeling to solve problems with 90% accuracy.

Students will construct physical models of geometric solids without any error.

Students will be able to create nets for common geometric solids with 90% accuracy.

In groups, students will create a wiki including 3 pages, and correctly upload the URL to the assignment drop box. || In this section, make a list of what materials are needed for this lesson plan. If they don't specify any technology, think of how you might do that! Try to think of two different things you or your students could do with technology. Maybe you can find a good multimedia site to use in this lesson? How about using word processing instead of writing? You might be able to use a spreadsheet or PowerPoint? ||

How will they use technology in this lesson? || How do you assess student learning? To assess student learning, the work being done by each group will be graded off of a rubric that was given to students prior to the start of the lesson. Each aspect of the rubric will be on a 4 point scale. Students will be able to see their final grades along with any comments regarding errors made throughout the project so that they can be studied and improved by the time of the final exam on the lesson. ||

 * ^  || The computer and internet access will be used to work with the online geometric solids tool. The internet will also be needed for creating and submitting the group wiki. Each group will receive one activity sheet that is to be completed. The construction tools will be used by each group to build physical models of geometric solids. ||
 * R || **R = Require Learner Participation**
 * ^  || This lesson is a group project designed to be a hands on learning experience ensuring a better understanding and retention of geometric solids and their properties. Students will use technology to practice applying learned knowledge of geometric shapes. ||
