Unit Plan Assignment

SPECIFIC REQUIREMENTS

I. UNIT TOPIC: Protractors and Angles and Lines… Oh My!

II. GRADE LEVEL: 4th Grade- Math

III. RATIONALE FOR UNIT AND CONTEXTUAL FACTORS:

At the beginning of the school year, my confidence with teaching math wasn’t that high. Throughout
the school year and teaching strictly math and science, I learned that my love for math has
grown, and my confidence in teaching math has definitely grown as well. I decided to create
my unit plan on angles and lines because my SLO is based off measuring angles with a
protractor. My students haven’t had a lot of exposure to lines and angles. Some students have
had DreamBox or IXL lessons on angles and lines, but not enough exposure to fully understand
the concept. I felt like this unit/topic will be interesting to watch my students’ knowledge grow
in lines and angles since they don’t really know much about it.
This 5-day unit will take place from March 6th-March 11th. I chose this date range because it is the
second week of my full takeover, and there are no school events taking place that could affect
my unit plan. My pre-test and post-test will be the same exact test so I can see the growth my
students have made. My students in my SLO class took an angle pre-test for my SLO on
February 9th, 2023. Only one student scored 80% or MET, which was the highest grade. Eight
students had scores ranging between 50% and 70%, which put them in the APPROACHING
category. Ten students made a 40% or below, which placed them in the NOT MET category.
The first day will serve as an introduction day, where I will introduce my students to parallel and
perpendicular lines, and acute, right, and obtuse angles. I will use a Google Slide to teach this
topic as a whole group. I will then pull small groups based on questioning and observations
from the whole group lesson. Students will individually work on a similar Google Slide
assignment to show understanding of the topic. It is important for students to understand
parallel and perpendicular lines in order to determine angle measurement. It is also crucial for
students to understand acute, right, and obtuse angles before starting to measure angles.
On the second day of this unit, students will play a quick Kahoot game in order to refresh their
memory from what we learned the day before. I believe students are more engaged when a
game is involved, and students tend to be extremely competitive! After this quick review, I will
teach students about protractors and how to measure angles. It is important for students to
understand different angle types before they begin measuring angles. They will know
something is wrong if the degree of the angle they are measuring doesn’t match what type of
angle it is. Students will then work individually on IXL skills NCN (determine angle
measurement with a protractor) and R9K (draw angles with a protractor). I will pull small
groups to help with these skills based on observation and questioning.

Last updated October 2022


On the third day of this unit, we will complete a quick review on what we learned the past 2 days. I
will do a whole group IXL lesson so we are able to review as a class. After the review, we will
complete Lines and Angles Art Project as a whole group. Students will be given 1 sheet of
construction paper and 4 pre-cut lines. Students will create a set of parallel lines, a
perpendicular line that goes straight through the parallel lines, and one more intersecting line.
Students will then label right angles, acute angles, obtuse angles, parallel lines, and
perpendicular lines. This will be an amazing hands-on activity that students will be able to use
as a study tool.
On the fourth day of this unit, I will begin with a review of the Mastery Connect exit ticket from the
day before. Students will then work on a Google Slide assignment that combines all of the
information that has been covered the past week. Based on scores, knowledge of students,
and specific needs from students, I will pull students into small groups in order to complete
this assignment as a group.
On the fifth and final day of this unit, students will take a 10 question Mastery Connect assessment
that is the same as their pre-assessment. I will be able to compare their pre-test and post-test
scores to see if/how my students have grown during this unit.

Explain how the unit relates to instructional goals, needs of students and prior units. Describe the
contextual factors (i.e., students’ prior test scores, grades in previous courses, student IEP or 504
accommodations, as well as any other factors related to the community, district, school, classroom or
students that are likely to impact instruction and/or student learning with regard to the selected unit).
Include a description of the ways in which each of these factors will be taken into consideration during
unit planning and instruction. REFERENCE TO CHART

IV. OBJECTIVES:

By the end of the unit plan, all students will be able to measure and draw angles in whole number
degrees using a protractor.
V. CONTENT:

We will be learning a great deal of information over this unit. Since this is the first time students are
learning about lines and angles, I didn’t want to include rays, line segments, and points because I was
nervous that would be too much material for students to learn and understand. We will cover parallel
lines, perpendicular lines, acute angles, right angles, obtuse angles, measuring angles using a
protractor. I will start with the basics, and we will go into more detail throughout the week. It is
important to review what was learned the previous day(s) at the beginning of each lesson so students
can refresh their memory. After this unit plan, we will cover rays, line segments, and points. They will
be able to use the information that was learned during this unit plan and build off it when learning
about rays, line segments, and points.

In addition to the content taught in the unit, describe the key instructional activities and strategies
used to teach this unit. Also describe how:
 content and objectives are aligned to academic standards.

Last updated October 2022


 content will be organized and taught so that students can use, apply and implement what
they learn in real-life scenarios and for the assurance of career and college readiness.
 students will be engaged in critical thinking and problem solving.
 students’ needs, interests, abilities, and cultures will be considered.
 the instruction’s research base.

VI. REFERENCE/RESOURCE MATERIALS:

I will present material in different ways and forms. Whole group lessons will include Google Slides that
involve the content we are covering that day. Individual work will also include a similar Google Slides
assignment that was covered during a whole group lesson. IXL will also be used during review lessons
and independent work. IXL is modularized into different topics, and there are two topics that cover
the 4th grade Math Standard 4.MDA.6. I will also utilize Kahoot as an educational game for students to
review the basics of lines and angles. For my pre-test, exit ticket, and post-test, I will use Mastery
Connect. Mastery Connect is an online assessment tool that formulates test questions based on the
standard(s) you want to assess. Mastery Connect assessments are highly vetted, and they are very
similar to what students will see on SC Ready. While technology is important to utilize, I also believe
that drawing/writing on paper is important. While completing the lines and angle art project, we will
use different colors of paper and markers to label different angles and lines. This will allow students to
have a hands-on activity to remember different lines and angles.

Reflection
As an introduction to lines and angles, I thought it was important to start with what students already
knew about lines and angles. Honestly, students didn’t know that much. When I started the lesson, I
created hand/arm motions to teach students what parallel lines, perpendicular lines, acute angles,
right angles, and obtuse angles looked like. Whenever we started the Google Slide lesson, we talked
about definitions of each line and angle, and started to identify the correct name associated with the
line or angle. After our whole group lesson, I pulled small groups based on whole group observation to
help with the individual assignment. Overall, I felt like this was a great introduction lesson! At the end,
I was able to quiz my students on the hand/arm motions for each term, and they were able to
describe what the term meant. Some students even asked if they could help other students with their
work once they were finished with their own. I believe that students can learn a lot from their peers,
which made me happy that students were offering to help others.

Reflection
For my second lesson of my unit plan, I started out with a quick Kahoot review of lines and angles to
refresh my students’ brains. By incorporating a game, students were able to be more engaged since
they were “competing” with their classmates. After the Kahoot, I introduced a protractor and what it
was used for. We then started our Google Slide lesson. The first step I taught with measuring angles
was to identify if the angle was acute, right, or obtuse. Once we figured out what type of angle it was,
I showed students how to properly line up the protractor with the angle and how to measure it. I told
them that if they know what the angle is and the definition of the angle but the measurement doesn’t
look correct that they are looking at the wrong “circle” on the protractor. We did a lot of practice, and
then I turned my students loose to work on their IXL skills. In order to show mastery, they had to score
an 80% or higher on the specific skills I assigned. During whole group, I observed students and made a
mental list of students I know I needed to pull to help them get started. Once I pulled those students,
we worked step by step through a few problems, and then they were able to work independently. I
still kept them at my table so I could monitor their progress and just in case they needed help. I really
enjoyed using IXL skills as a formative assessment because students can’t guess on problems and just
submit it. In order for them to reach an 80%, they have to understand the material and answer
problems correctly. I also used LanSchool to monitor students who were not working in my small
group.

Reflection
For my third formative observation, I chose to do a Line and Angle Art Activity during my Unit Plan.
This past week, my class has been studying lines and angles. At the beginning of my lesson, I started
with a quick review of lines and angles where students had to show on their hands/arms what acute,
right, and obtuse angles and parallel and perpendicular lines look like. Then, I moved into a quick IXL
review of measuring angles as a warmup activity. After our introduction activity, I moved into our line
and angle art project. Students used washing tape to create parallel lines, perpendicular lines, right
angles, acute angles, and obtuse angles. I modeled each step for my students, which made the lesson
move smoothly. During my first math class, I had the idea that students could measure the angles
Last updated October 2022
they created with a protractor. I incorporated that idea into my second math class as well. A few
students were confused on how to measure their angles, so some students were able to help their
classmates. After the activity, I had students take a 3-question Mastery Connect exit ticket in order to
see where my students are with lines and angles. I will use this exit ticket to help me create small
groups to pull tomorrow since their Line and Angle Test is on Friday. After their exit ticket, they were
able to decorate their project and work on individual work. Overall, I believe this lesson went well! I
loved how each of my students were able to show their creativity. I also enjoyed that my students
were eager to participate in all parts of the lesson. I did have to redirect a few students, but those
problems did not cause a loss of time at all. Their knowledge of lines and angles has grown
tremendously, and I am excited to see them demonstrate their knowledge on their test Friday!

Reflection
For this lesson, I used the exit ticket from Day 3 to form small groups. At the beginning of the lesson,
we reviewed the exit ticket as a class and went over any misconceptions that students may have had.
After the review, I went over a Google Slide assignment for students to complete. Originally, I wanted
students to work individually. However, I allowed them to work in pairs so they can learn from each
other. I did pull students who didn’t do too well on the exit ticket to complete the Google Slide
assignment in a small group. I was able to differentiate instruction for them, and I had a better insight
on where they were making mistakes. If I felt like they were doing well in small group, I placed them in
with a pair of students I know would help them. By doing this, we were able to review everything we
learned over the past few days in preparation for our lines and angles assessment!

Reflection
For the final day of this unit plan, students were going to take an assessment to test their knowledge
of lines and angles. This assessment was the same as their pre-assessment, however most of them did
not remember they have taken this test before since it was a long time in between the two
assessments. I started with a complete review of lines and angles, and I told students they could use
the hand/arm motions we learned to identify different lines and angles during the test as long as they
were not distracting their neighbors. I saw many students using the hand/arm motions, and that made
me happy that students correlated the terms and definitions with the motions we learned. Once
everyone finished the test, we went question by question and reviewed the test. I wanted to review
the test the same day they took it because the information was still fresh in their minds, and if I
waited until Monday, I feel like most students would have forgotten what was on the test/what
misconceptions and questions they had. After reviewing the test and analyzing each student’s score, I
was able to see that the majority of my students grew and reached their goal.

IX. PRIMARY ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES & EVALUATION CRITERIA,

A 10-question Mastery Connect assessment was used for a pre-assessment. This assessment is
appropriate for measuring the objective because this pretest was created based on the
standard, and formulated questions were used for this assessment. Some students had some
knowledge of angles through specific DreamBox and IXL lessons and spiral instruction, but not
to the extent we want them to be at by the end of the year.

XI. REFLECTION AND SELF-ASSESSMENT:

1. Describe the impact of the unit on the learning of ALL students including students with
individual needs. Reflect on and describe the relationship between your students’ learning
progress and growth and your teaching performance based on the criteria included in this
assignment for the instructional unit.
All students were engaged with instruction to meet the state standard of 4.MDA.6- Measure
and draw angles in whole number degrees using a protractor. Small groups were pulled each
Last updated October 2022
day to ensure differentiated instruction was provided for each student’s needs. Higher level
students were able to help lower level students during individual/partner work while I was
with a small group.
2. As a teacher, reflect on your own cultural background, unconscious biases and systemic biases,
and your ability to collaborate with learners as you’ve implemented this unit plan.
As an elementary student, I had many peers of various cultural backgrounds, races, and socio-
economic backgrounds. I was able to develop a strong mindset to accept others who may be
different than me. My background has offered me a strong desire to help others to learn and grow.
Having patience with my resource and ESOL students has been helpful since they do take a little
longer to process the content being taught.
3. If you were to teach this unit again to the same group of students, what, if anything, would you
do differently, and why?
If I were to teach this unit again, I would probably start with teaching them about rays, line
segments, points, etc. I did wait until after my unit plan to teach them this content. I feel like it
would’ve been beneficial for my students to learn about line “basics” before teaching them
about parallel and perpendicular lines and angles. By having background knowledge of
different lines, they could have connected the knowledge together to have a better schema of
lines and angles.
4. As a teacher, how did you or how could you in the future communicate with caregivers and
families about student growth and learning?
Each week, we send out a classroom newsletter to inform families about important dates,
schedules, and what we are learning/teaching that specific week. We also schedule parent-
teacher conferences each fall and spring to keep parents/families updated on their child’s
academic and personal growth throughout the year. We ensure parents that they are a huge
part of their child’s learning process and growth. For the most part, parents and families are
involved with their child’s academic success.
5. With whom did you collaborate with to fully determine students’ past performance, student
needs, and effective instructional strategies to impact student learning (i.e., school counselors,
resource teachers, former teachers, instructional coaches, advisors, administrators)?
I collaborated mostly with my mentor teacher, Dr. Merritt, to fully determine students’ past
performance, needs, and effective instructional strategies. She was able to help me pull SC
Ready Scores from the previous year, and we often discuss our students’ individual needs and
reflect on the most effective instructional strategies for our class together.
