( # 2,3,4 only)

1. Common Core Learning Standard(s) Addressed:

CCSS.Math.Content.4.G.A.1
Draw points, lines, line segments, rays, angles (right, acute, obtuse), and perpendicular and parallel lines. Identify these in two-dimensional figures.

2. Learning Target(s): (What will students know & be able to do as a result of this lesson?)
Students will be able to identify the types of angles: right, acute, obtuse, and the use of perpendicular and
parallel lines within shapes. As a result of the lesson, students will be able to look at and create shapes with
the different angle types.

3. Relevance/Rationale: (Why are the outcomes of this lesson important in the real world? Why are these
outcomes essential for future learning?)
The outcomes of the lesson are important so that students have an understanding of spatial relationships in the
real world. This knowledge is essential for the future learning of navigation, architecture, and other areas of mathematics.

Students will learn about the different angles:

right, acute, obtuse and parallel and
perpendicular lines in shapes. Students will be
able to create shapes for their assignments.
Geometry is an important first step to
understand space, size, navigating,
architecture, and future math.

4. Formative Assessment Criteria for Success: (How will you & your students know if they have
successfully met the outcomes? What specific criteria will be met in a successful product/process?
What does success on this lessons outcomes look like?)

Students will be successful when they can

identify the different types of angles in 2D shapes
and know their measurements. They must also
The students and I will know they have met the outcomes of the lesson when they can recognize parallel and be able to make shapes out of parallel and
perpendicular lines in shapes and create basic shapes with acute, obtuse, and right angles. Students must perpendicular lines.
understand the proper measurements associated with the angles and types of lines.

5. Activities/Tasks: (What learning experiences will students engage in? How will you use these learning experiences or their student products as formative
assessment opportunities?)
Students will engage in individual learning through various ungraded tests and online assessments. These practice tests will serve students before their final
exam as things they can look back on and see how they can improve.

6. Resources/Materials: (What texts, digital resources, & materials will be used in this lesson?)
. 4th grade math text book
. ruler
. protractor
.compass

. edmodo

7. Access for All: (How will you ensure that all students have access to and are able to engage appropriately in this lesson? Consider all aspects of student
diversity.)
All students will have access to their text book and materials at all times. Individual work time will allow each student to complete assessments at their own pace
as well as develop their learning. Students who have trouble will work one on one with the teacher and other classmates who will act as leaders in the subject.

8. Modifications/Accommodations: (What curriculum modifications and/or classroom accommodations will you make for Students with Disabilities in your
class? Be as specific as possible.)

. directions will be given out loud and written down upon request
. assessments will be auditory or visual on request
. special seating arrangements will be made for disruptive students or students in need
. extended time will be given to students who need it
. one on one time will be offered to students

Common Core Aligned Lesson: Reflection

Does this lesson reflect one of the shifts in instruction? If so, which shift how?
This lesson reflects shift 3, staircase of complexity, which explains that students read the central text book and teachers
are patient and create more time and
space for their students' learning. The projects offered will reflect this shift well.
st

How did this lesson support 21 Century Skills?

This lesson supports the 21st century skill of critical thinking and problem solving by analyzing how parts of a whole interact in shapes;
specifically the use of angles, lines, and measurements.

How did this lesson reflect academic rigor?

This lesson reflects academic rigor by holding high standards for students understanding. Students must use tools properly and understand
rules to measure the particular structures provided.

How did this lesson cognitively engage students?

This lesson cognitively engages students by allowing them to analyze objects and shapes independently with the use of tools.

How did this lesson engage students in collaborative learning and enhance their collaborative learning skills?
This lesson engages students in collaborative learning by interacting with other student leaders to seek help and feedback
during the creation of their projects and online assessments.
