To which part of your curriculum does this lesson relate? How does this learning "fit" in the sequence of learning for this class?
In this lesson, we will be covering section 1.6. This section is in unit 1 of the curriculum. Prior to this lesson, we have covered
sections 1.1-1.4, skipping 1.5 since it is not included in the curriculum.
Briefly describe the students in this class, including those with special needs.
This class is a great group of students. Most of the students have expressed to me that math is not their favorite subject or that
they really struggle with it. Although they have these struggles, all of the students are very hardworking and want to do well in
the class.

Each student was asked at the beginning of the year to identify ways that they learned best. There are a variety of ways such as
visual, auditory, or hands on.

There are three IEP students in the class who need modifications such as:
-extended time
-repeat directions
-oral/written directions
-additional time for processing
-frequently check for understanding
-limit number of items to learn at a time
-cooperative learning groups
-visual aids to accompany instruction
What are your learning outcomes for this lesson? What do you want the students to understand?
I would like the students to understand how to express relations as a table, graph, and mapping. They also should be able to
interpret graphs of relations.
How will you engage the students in the learning? What will you do? What will the students do? Will the students work in groups,
individually, or as a large group? Provide any worksheets or other materials the students will be using.
The ways I will be engaging my students in the learning is with guided notes. This allows for students to stay on track.
Throughout the notes, I allow for students to come up to the board to write responses so we can discuss student answers.
During this lesson, we will be going back and forth from guided notes to Desmos. It is a fun, alternative way for students to solve
problems and I am able to see student responses in real time. Lastly, students will be working on a practice page. The students
will work on the page either individually or with their group members.
What will be the demonstration of learning?
The demonstration of learning will be by visual observation, the work that students write on the board, the work students
complete in desmos, and the practice worksheet that students will be handing in.

Is there anything that you would like me to specifically observe during the lesson?
A few things I would like you to specifically observe during the lesson is if I am allowing enough wait time between question and
answer. I want to make sure I am giving students the chance to complete a problem before doing the problem for them. Also,
am I asking any or enough higher order thinking problems?

Addendum :

Post-Conference Form
In general, how successful was the lesson? Did the students learn what you intended them to learn? How do you know?
I think the lesson was successful. While using desmos, I was able to see in real time student responses. This gave me a good
idea of who understood and who I needed to check on. With that being said, I felt as though all of the students learned what was
intended. They all were able to represent the relations in different ways.
Comment on your classroom procedures, student conduct, and your use of physical space. To what extent did these contribute to
student learning?
Now that we are two weeks into the school year, the students are familiar with the classroom procedures and how the class is
typically run. They know that when entering the classroom, they must grab the note packets and any other worksheets on the
desk next to the door as well as their assigned calculator. They always check to see if there is a do now and they get right to
work. Having these specific procedures in place allows for less time wasted on passing papers out, etc. and more time for the
lesson and any activities planned. The desks are in groups of four, all of which are somewhat angled to face the board. We
typically have some type of group activity each day so it's nice to already have the students in groups.
Did you depart from your plan? If so, how and why?
I did not depart from my plan.
Comment on different aspects of your instructional delivery (e.g., activities, grouping of students, materials, and resources). To
what extend were they effective?
For the lesson, I had guided notes which were to be followed by the slides and then the desmos activities through the
chromebooks. Rather than having the students complete a practice problem after each example problem on their paper, I had
them complete these practice problems through desmos. Although it jumped back and forth a lot, I felt that it gave students a
break from the standard "notes" and got them interactive within the lesson, without them having to say anything. I think the use
of desmos helped for a lot of the students. For example, when making copies of the guided notes, it didn't copy the graph
completely. This was a struggle for a lot of students because they weren't sure how or where to plot the points. Being able to
use the graph on desmos as a practice, it allowed for those students to really practice graphing each point in the correct place.

I was able to use my tablet to display the notes/desmos on the board. This allowed for me to walk around the classroom to
check on students rather than standing up at the front behind the computer screen.
If you had a chance to teach this lesson again to the same group of students, what would you do differently?
If I were to teach this lesson again to the same group of students, I would probably try and spend some more time talking about
the students work. Through desmos, I have the ability to pull up each students screen. This gives me a chance to go over the
problem but praising a specific student for the work that they did.

When I taught this lesson to my block 3, my students were shouting out "Can you pull up my screen!, Ms. Georgette look at my
answer!". The students were all really excited about the work that they did and wanted me to see it and show the class. This
turned out to be really positive which I think would have added more excitement to my lesson in block 2.

Formative Assessment
Areas for Growth:
Questioning Techniques/Student Discussions
Recommendations:
Consider working some questioning techniques into your presentation. You did survey the class to see if they remembered how
to perform the function, but you could ask questions while you explain to see what they do know.

You might also have the students use think pair/share. For example, when you asked how many of the students remember how
to plot points, you might have had them discuss with a partner and see what they remember. The class is quiet! This would help
to get the students talking. Discussions enrich student understanding and help to solidify learning.
Additional Comments:
Great job with the technology! It was fluid and seamless. Excellent. I also like how you were working formative assessment
through thumbs up and the collection of problems through Desmos.

Your pacing looks good. I do think there is enough wait time, but I would try to work in more question and answer and student
discussion points.
