Volumes of Solids
CONTEXTUAL FACTORS (e.g. ethnicity, gender, exceptionalities, ELL, GATE, etc.) which need
differentiation in instruction and assessment.

0 students have IEPs

26 White, 2 Hispanic/Latino, 1 Asian, 3 Pacific Islander
20 Males and 12 Females
1 disruptive student

WALK-AWAY (what do I want students to know, understand, and be able to do?)

Content Walk-Away:

Students will be able to find the volume of pyramids, cylinders, cones, and spheres
SWBAT find the equation of a parabola given the focus and directrix

Reading/Language Walk-Away:

Students will learn vocabulary relevant to lesson

ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE (formative/summative checks for

learning) (Match the Content Walk-Away)

In class participation
Informal assessment: making sure the students take complete
notes
Worksheet: 5.5

Modifications/Accommodations

(ELL, IEP, GATE, etc.)

Extended time for those who

need it
In class assistance on
homework questions

ACTIVE LEARNING PLAN

Modifications/
Accommodations
(ELL, IEP, GATE, etc.)

Activate Prior Knowledge/Experiences

Bellwork: Find the equation of the given circle

Review Worksheet 5-4 Homework

Focus Lesson (I do it)

Explain and define Parabola, Directrix, and Focus

Give equation of parabola and explain the variables and how to graph
it.
Explain how to find and graph focus and directrix
Give equations for volume of rectangular prism, pyramid, cylinder,
cone, and sphere.

Guided Instruction (We do it)

Sketch a parabola by its equation

Find and graph the focus and directrix of a given parabola
Given a focus and directrix, derive the equation for a parabola and
graph it
Solve word problem requiring volume of a pyramid
Solve word problem requiring volume of cylinder

Walk around the class

while students are working
in pairs or tables to provide
intervention where needed.

Focus on disruptive student

with proximity and
pressuring him to work
with his peers and stay on
topic.

Collaborative/Cooperative (You do it together)

Students work in pairs to graph a parabola, its focus, and its directrix,
given its equation
Students will work in partners to, given a focus and directrix, derive the
equation for a parabola and graph it
Students work in pairs to find volume of box
Students work in tables to solve word problem using volume of a cone
Students work in partners to find volume of basketball

Independent (You do it alone)

Completion of worksheet as homework

Summarization/Closure

Quickly review main points we learned

NOTES TO TEACHER

Walk around class

helping with
problems students
have doing the
worksheet

What do I need to remember to do?

Create PowerPoint/Smart Board presentation for students to interact with
Materials to have ready?
Copy of worksheets for students
Approximate time needed for lesson?
Lesson will take about 80 minutes
