UNIT TOPIC: Intro to Inductive/Deductive Reasoning 1. UNIT CONTEXT Subject/Content Area: Math Course: Geometry th Grade Level: 9 - 11th Section: Chapter 2, Week 1 Year plan: 12 Chapters Total Chapter length: 7 Sections Units covered this week: 3 Number of class periods and length of periods: 5 class periods, 55 minutes each

2. FACTS ABOUT THE LEARNERS Whole Class Information Number of students in class 37 students Demographic Information: o 20 male, 17 female o 45% white, 43% Latino, 10% black, 2% asian o 48% free & reduced lunch o 2 English language learners o 38% bilingual o 2 IEP Developmental Needs: Period 6 Geometry is mainly made up of freshmen and sophomores, with 2 juniors. The students are friendly, bright and social, and work well helping each other in groups. There are many students involved in volleyball, football and cheerleading, which leaves them little time for homework outside of class.

Individual Student Information and Differentiation Strategies Provide the following information for 5 specific students 2 English Language Learners (Elena and an ELL of your choice) o Elena o Vicky 2 Students with Special Education Needs (Alex and student of your choice with IEP/504) o Alex o Oggie 1 Student of your choice o Ty Address the following for each student: What is the students name? What is the level of your English Learner? Or What category does the student qualify for special education services? (13 IDEA categories or 504) Describe students grade level, culture, language, SES, family, affect What are the students individual ed. goals? Reading, writing & subject levels? Describe developmental needs (readiness, interest, & learning profile) for each student.

What can you do to differentiate each students o Content (curriculum materials) o Process (student activities) o Product (assessment) o Affect (proactive management strategies - student activities, feedback strategies) o Learning Environment (classroom space, seating, grouping ) Based on their developmental needs (readiness, interests and learning profile)? What progress monitoring assessment would you choose to obtain evidence of the students progress toward a learning goal/objective? Use a rationale for your assessment choice. What would be your next steps to facilitate this students learning? Consider the students facts - identity/demographics and developmental needs (readiness, interests, learning profile). 2 English Language Learners th o Elena - English learner who is a 15 year old girl in the 10 grade. She came a year and a half ago from Mexico with her parents, who are professionals. She is literate in Spanish, enjoys Spanish literature, and has earned above average grades in Mexico. Elena is a bit shy but works well in small groups and is well liked by other students. Her CELDT results show she is at the Early Intermediate level, so I will assess her at the Intermediate level (i+1). I will differentiate by providing Elena with graphic organizers, lists of subject-specific vocabulary and pairing her with a buddy in class who is a strong, patient student that can help her understand assignments (content & process). o Vicky 16 year-old 10 grade girl who is an English language learner at the Early Advanced CELDT level, so I will assess her at the Advanced level (i+1). Born in Mexico and speaks Spanish at home. She receives a free lunch and lives in a small apartment with much of her extended family. Vicky is gregarious and easily distracted in class. She wants to be a make up artist when she grows up. I will differentiate by allowing her to work with her friend Cassy, who is a strong student, can clarify difficult subject-specific vocabulary and is able to keep Vicky on task when she becomes distracted (process).
th

2 Students with Special Education Needs th o Alex - 15-year-old boy who is in the 10 grade. His early literacy skills developed slowly and with much difficulty. Sound/symbol relationships and word identification were challenging and affected his reading and writing. He was identified as a student with specific learning disabilities in elementary school and has received special education support from a language arts resource room. He takes classes in the th general education curriculum is able to read at a 7 grade level but still struggles with decoding words. Alex takes daily medication for asthma and needs to use an inhaler at times. He is self-isolating and isnt quick to join into class conversations or contribute to group discussions. His usually sits alone at lunch and prefers to be by himself during transitional times. He has no in-class support. I will differentiate by providing written assignments 1-2 days before they are assigned so that he has extra time to read the document and seek help from the resource room (content, product). I will also pair him with a trusted buddy who is patient and works well with him when the lesson plans involve group work (process). o Oggie 9 grade white male who has an IEP/504 due to social difficulties. Born and raised in San Marcos and speaks English at home. Parents are educators at the college level. Oggie wants to be a video game designer when he grows up. He is very withdrawn and introverted with a blank affect, but has a surprisingly good sense of humor. I will differentiate by allowing him to work alone when the lesson plans
th

involve group work and by allowing him to withdraw to a safe and quiet area if the classroom becomes too noisy or uncomfortable for him (process). 1 Student of your choice th o Ty 11 grade black male who failed geometry as a sophomore. Moved to San Marcos from Temecula in middle school. Parents are upper middle class professionals. Tendency toward defiance and has already had 4 referrals this semester. I will differentiate by communicating weekly with Tys father via phone and email to make sure he is getting assistance at home to complete homework, organize due dates, and study for tests in class (content, process).

2. UNIT RATIONALE: ENDURING UNDERSTANDINGS & ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS This unit introduces inductive and deductive reasoning, which is the logic that leads into proofs. Proofs play a large role in the content standards of Geometry and are essential as students progress to higher levels of math. Enduring Understandings (EU) Students will understand that they can use deductive reasoning to prove statements mathematical concepts. Students will understand that converse statements invert the ifthen structure of a statement. Essential Questions What is the next item in a pattern? What can I logically deduce from a given statement? How can I use given information and axioms to prove a statement or mathematical concept?

Write the question based on the Six Facets of Understanding (See Wiggins & McTighes Understanding by Design for prompts): Interpretation (critique, illustrate, judge, translate, provide metaphors) Explanation (describe, express, justify, predict, synthesize) Application (build, create, design, perform, solve. Empathy (assume role of, consider, imagine, relate, role-play) Self-Knowledge (be aware of, realize, recognize, reflect, self-assess) Perspective (analyze, argue, compare, contrast, infer) Reason for the Instructional Strategies & Student Activities 3. STANDARDS Content Standards CA Standard 1.0: Students demonstrate understanding by identifying and giving examples of undefined terms, axioms, theorems, and inductive and deductive reasoning. CA Standard 3.0: Students construct and judge the validity of a logical argument and give counterexamples to disprove a statement. ELD Standards I (Elena): Listening & Speaking Cluster 3-I & Cluster 5-I A (Vicky): Listening & Speaking Cluster 3-A & Cluster 5-A I (Elena): Writing Strategies and applications Cluster 7 ES-I A (Vicky): Reading Word Analysis Cluster 3-A

UNIT OBJECTIVES After guided practice, students will be able to identify hypotheses and conclusions, create converse statements, and use implement deductive reasoning in order to create their own conditional statements. 5. ASSESSMENT PLAN Have an assessment for every objective and standard in unit. Cross-reference the objective and standard for each assessment. Example: Assessment (Objective/Standard #) 6. STEPS OF INSTRUCTION Provide the into, through and closure/beyond for the unit as well as the lesson designs for each day with all needed materials (ppts, graphic organizers, rubrics).

Through: Students complete a worksheet where they will need to make a conjecture about the next item in a series.

Into: Teacher reviews the concept of conjectures and provides a couple examples of pictorial series for the students to decide on the next 1, 2, or 3 items in the series. Then teacher introduces the concept of counterexampl es and demonstrates several on the board while students take notes. Through: Teacher assigns worksheet on counterexampl es to be completed in

Into: Teacher reviews conjectures and counterexample s, then introduces conditional statements with several examples on the board. Through: A list of conditional statements will be projected on the board and individual students will identify the hypothesis and conclusion of each statement using different dry erase colors. Teacher provides graphic organizer on conditional

Cognitive: After reviewing conditional tables & their truth values together as guided practice, SWBAT identify and create their own conditional statements as well as identify the truth values of those statements. Into: Teacher reviews conditional statements and has students respond to several examples on their personal white boards to check for understanding . Through: Worksheets in small groups on conditional statements. Individual exit quiz with 4 questions is given to gauge students comprehensio n.

Cognitive: After guided practice, SWBAT apply deductive reasoning to draw conclusions.

7. MATERIALS/RESOURCES

8. REFLECTION
This is based on a weeklong plan that we used during Chapter 2 for our geometry students. I added the quizzes as formal assessments after the fact because I feel we need to do more progress monitoring in the classes. Too often do we wait several weeks between tests and not able to gauge where the students lie in their comprehension of the material. I think this lesson plan is a bit challenging for English learners because of the complex sentence structures and subtle nuances of the conditional statements. I would like to complete more differentiation strategies to help scaffold this material for these students. Something I would keep in mind for the next lesson is to have students work more with converse statements, as they are easily confused on this topic when completing proofs. I think I accomplished a mixture of Approaching, Meets & Exceeds criteria. There are several areas where I could have provided more information in order to reach the Exceeds category, such as rationale. Overall, I think Ive reached the Meets level on average for the different categories.
