Jennifer Pisano - Lesson Plans for Mon, 3/29/2010
Anticipatory Set:Complete/Review Do Now and homework
Learning Expectations: -use logical reasoning-develop a design that satisfies specific conditions-discover a new solution based on an old one
Activities:* Can you follow a set of rules to form a square arrangement of Color Tiles?
Work with a partner. Use 16 Color Tiles to form a square according to these rules:
* The square must have 4 of each color of tile.* No 2 tiles of the same color may touch along a side.* No 2 tiles of the same color may touch at a corner.* The order of the colors in each row must differ from the order in every other row.
• Record your square. Think about how you could rearrange the tiles to form a different solution. Look for other solutions. If you find any, record them, too. Be ready to explain the decisions you made.
** What strategies did you use to arrange your tiles?
Did you ever get “stuck”? If so, how did you get “unstuck”?
How could you be sure that your design followed all three rules?
Do you see any patterns in your design? Describe them.
Which other squares are exactly like yours? Which are different? How are they different?
Assessments:teacher observations, squares, student-centered discussion
Materials:communicators, color tilesTech Infusion:Promethean board - flipchart
Accomodations/Modifications:* teacher designed groups* differentiated assignments/activities (centers to reach all levels) * extended time-classwork/assessments(when needed)* restructured homework assignments for both above level and below level students* use of manipulatives/graphic organizers* extension activities/alternative assignments* modified assessments - M/C, SCR, ECR, O-E* encouraging independence/student initiative* includes a rich variety of resources, media ideas, methods and tasks
