LESSON PLAN EXAMPLES AND CONTENT (as part of the Lesson Planning assignments)

Use the Internet to find some examples of lesson plans that other teachers have developed. You can do this easily by going to the Web Resources page, and from there via hyperlinks directly to web sites (the Megasites and the Curricular Resources are most likely to yield lesson plans). The materials you find should provide additional models for lesson plan formats as well as ideas for teaching and learning activities. Read the lesson plans critically, using criteria we have developed for effective content formulation and lesson plan design; don't just accept them as good simply because they're published on the Net. You may incorporate the ideas you find into your own lesson plans, but be sure to cite any sources you use and adapt the plan to your own students, your teaching style, and the Single Subject Program format for lesson planning. If you find anything especially interesting or wonderful, please share it with the rest of us in class.

Visit some of the non-curricular math sites (quotations, biographies, problems, data sources, or others) listed in the Web Resources section of our course web site. Try to find a few interesting tidbits to include in your lesson plans.

 

UNIT PLAN EXAMPLES AND CONTENT (as part of the Unit Planning assignment)

Repeat the lesson plan assignment above, but this time look for unit plans.

Visit some of the instructional technology sites accessible via the Web Resources section of our course web site. Use these, together with technology-based activities we've done in class, as resources for incorporating electronic technology in some form into your unit plan.
