Curricular Micro-teaching

 Teachers: Maxine, Jason and Jimena

Lesson Plan

Graphing Relations and analyzing: 15 minutes

1. MUSICAL CHAIRS GAME 5 minutes

Setup:

• Place all in two rows back to back.

• Make the students walk around while the music is playing.

• When the music stops, the students sit down in the closest chair.

• In the second round, the teacher takes 2 chairs out and plays again.

Discuss what happened. Tell the students to talk about the variables involved and how they relate to each other.

2. REAL WORLD SCENARIOS - UBER FARES 5 minutes

Setup:

• Post real UBER fares in Vancouver.

• Groups answer some questions, and groups respond to another group’s inference.
  Questions for analysis: 

• What does it mean low demand, and rush hour?

• How much does it cost to travel 10 km in rush hour?

• How much does it cost to travel 10 km in low demand?

Assessment: Teacher notes on the use of mathematical vocabulary during discussions
Metacognition: How did other groups’ ideas challenge or support your thinking?”

3.  Human Coordinate Plane- 5 minutes

Goal: Experience graphing physically and collaboratively.

Setup:

• Use tape or chalk to draw a large coordinate plane on the floor.

•  Assign students as points (x, y) from given relations (e.g., y = 2x + 1, or y = |x|).

• Students move into position, then discuss what they notice about the pattern, symmetry, slope, etc.
  
  

Critical Thinking: Visualizing and reasoning spatially.
Teamwork: They must organize themselves accurately and communicate effectively.
