Management

There will be one computer available for every pair of students. This lesson will take

approximately two one hour class periods. Following Significant Task 3, students will be

dismissed from a whole group setting to partner work on the computers. Students will be

expected to guide their own instruction with teacher facilitation if needed on the computers.

Students will work at their own pace with the expectations that the scavenger hunt needs to be

completed by the second day of the lesson.

Learner Diversity

Diverse learning needs that will be considered include below level math students, students who

have holes in their knowledge from previous instruction, ESOL students and the multiple uses of

terminology, touch screen computers for those with physical impairments, ED and other LD

students.

Significant Tasks

1. Students will rate their own understanding of terms using a Knowledge Rating worksheet

prior to instruction from teacher.

2. Teacher will list the vocabulary that will be explored.

3. Teacher will explore the essential questions by posing the following questions to the

class:

a. Is it important to know vocabulary when discussing definitions of mathematical

terms?

b. Is knowing how to write the mathematical representations the only important

thing that needs to be known about these terms?

4. Teacher will divide the students into predetermined cooperative learning teams.

5. Students will navigate through the provided internet links.

6. Students will record answers on the provided task sheet with information discovered

while visiting the sites.

7. Teacher will discuss with students the definitions and examples students found and

created using the Internet.

8. Using the explored definitions of terms, students individually will create three

mathematical functions in their math journals.

9. Teacher and students will reflect orally using an All Around the World Format with each

student sharing something they learned or found interesting on their scavenger hunt.

Remediations

 Have large print computers for students that are visually impaired

 For ESL or special needs students give them an advance learner or a good teaching student to

work with them one on one and explain to them the concepts as they look over each

definition.

 Allow for more time for the groups to learn the terms if they are struggling.
