INTRODUCTION
I. Reason for choosing the topic “Design lesson plan for chapter Triangle.
Education plays a vital role in the survival and development of each country and
all humanity. In the current context, the strong development of science and technology,
along with the process of globalization and extensive international integration,
especially the inevitable trend of the knowledge economy, has strongly impacted all
areas of social life, including education. Developing high-quality human resources
requires each country to constantly innovate and reform the national education system
to further improve the quality and effectiveness of education.
Learning mathematics in English is a new learning trend, overcoming language
barriers and learning method barriers to access an endless, borderless repository of
learning materials, thereby forming the habit of active, self-aware learning as a student
in an international learning environment and building confidence as a global citizen.
Furthermore, Content-and-language Integrated Learning (CLIL) has been researched
and initiated since the 70s in Canada and has spread to many countries. Studying Math
or other subjects in English helps students practice language naturally, creating chain
connections in the process of learning subject content, emphasizing not only language
but also integrated knowledge.
There have been many research projects related to the issue of teaching
mathematics in English following the Content-and-Language Integrated Learning
educational model, such as Dr. Chu Thu Hoan's (2018) research on the components of
the ability to teach mathematics in English high school mathematics teachers. However,
there are few research projects on teaching mathematics in English in the secondary
school mathematics curriculum. Designing lesson plans in English is very important for
educational students in general and students of Pedagogy - Hanoi Metropolitan
University in particular. Many university students do not have much experience in
preparing lesson plans, especially in preparing lesson plans in English.
So, I decided to present the “Design lesson plan for chapter “Triangle” in
Mathematics textbook grade 7”.

In this chapter, I provide preparatory knowledge, including the teaching process,
the methodology of teaching Mathematics, typical situations in teaching Mathematics,
and the overview of the chapter “Triangle” in Mathematics 7 – “Canh Dieu” book series.
This is the basic knowledge to apply to the content in the main results section.
2. Chapter 2: Teaching plans for the chapter “Triangle” in geometry grade 7.
This chapter is divided into four main contents, including lesson plan design for
theory lessons, practice lessons, chapter review lessons, and software practice lessons.

CHAPTER 1: BASIC KNOWLEDGE
1.1. Orienting the process of teaching Mathematics.
1.1.1. General Objectives of Mathematics.
In general terms, the goal of Vietnamese high schools is to form the initial and
important foundations of human development. The Vietnamese Education Law
stipulates: "The goal of education is to train Vietnamese people to develop
comprehensively, with ethics, knowledge, health, aesthetics, and profession, loyal to the
ideal of national independence and socialism; forming and fostering the personality,
qualities, and abilities of citizens, meeting the requirements of building and protecting
the fatherland" ([2],p.1).
Mathematics, like all subjects, comes from its characteristics, role, position,
meaning, and coordination with other subjects and different activities in the school,
contributing to achieving the above goals.
Regarding the characteristics of mathematics, first of all, we must mention its high
level of abstraction and universal practicality. Of course, abstraction is not unique to
mathematics but is a characteristic of all sciences. But in mathematics, the abstraction
is separated from all material of the object, retaining only quantitative relationships in
structural form. Thus, mathematics has a highly abstract nature. Moreover, it is
necessary to emphasize the logic and empirical nature of mathematics. When
constructing mathematics, people use logical deduction, specifically the axiomatic
method. According to that method, starting from primitive concepts (i.e., primitive
objects and primitive relations) and axioms and then using logical rules to define other
concepts and prove other propositions ([4],p.35).
Also, in secondary schools, mathematics has a very important role, position, and
meaning for the reasons that will be presented below:
Firstly, mathematics plays an important role in realizing the general goals of
general education. Math contributes to personality development. Along with creating
conditions for students to create knowledge and practice necessary mathematical skills,
Mathematics also contributes to the development of general intellectual abilities such as
analysis, synthesis, abstraction, and generalization, ..., and trains the virtues and qualities
of new workers such as carefulness, accuracy, discipline, criticism, creativity, and foster
an aesthetic sense. Secondly, mathematics is also a tool to help teach and learn other
subjects such as chemistry, physics, biology,...

3
1.1.2. Identify and analyze common objectives.
Starting from the goals of Vietnamese secondary schools, from the
characteristics, role, position, and meaning of mathematics, teaching mathematics has
the following general goals:
(i) Equip yourself with knowledge, mathematical skills, and mathematical
application skills:
Students create knowledge and practice skills, which are the basis for achieving
goals in other aspects. To achieve this important goal, mathematics needs to equip
students with a solid system of general, basic, and modern mathematical knowledge,
skills, and methods, according to the principles of mathematics. At the same time, foster
in them the ability to apply mathematical knowledge to the study of other subjects, to
productive working life, and to acquire knowledge of science and technology.
(ii) Developing intellectual capacity:
Mathematics has great potential to contribute to the development of students'
intellectual capacity. This objective needs to be achieved in a meaningful, systematic,
and planned manner, not spontaneously.
(iii) Political and ideological education, qualities, and scientific working style:
To achieve this goal, mathematics needs to be exploited to contribute to fostering
a dialectical materialist worldview for students, training them in the qualities and
scientific working styles of new workers, such as working with purpose, planning,
method, inspection, carefulness, accuracy, discipline, thrift, creativity, daring to think
and do, knowing how to cooperate in labor, having the will and habit of self-study,
having aesthetic sense, having good health, courageously defending the truth, building
and protecting the fatherland ([4],p.51).
(iv) Create a basis for students to continue studying or enter working life:
To be able to achieve this, the personality factors mentioned in the component
goals must be formed and reinforced to create the potential for learners to adapt to
different career paths and different situations and carry out lifelong education based on
four pillars that have many relationships, connections, and interactions between them
and form a unified whole:
• “Learning to know” means mastering the tools to “understand”.
• “Learning to do” means having the ability to act creatively and impact your
environment.

4
• “Learning to live together” is to participate and cooperate with others in all human
activities.
• “Learning to be human” is an important progression that arises from the above three
types of learning to better develop one's personality and be ready to act with an
increasing ability in terms of autonomy, thinking, and self-control. consideration and
personal responsibility.
1.2. Methodology of teaching Mathematics.
1.2.1. Definition of teaching methods.
Teaching is an attempt to bring about desirable changes in human learning,
abilities, and behavior to contribute to better living. Teaching helps people gain the
knowledge, skills, and attitudes they need to be responsible citizens. It is also a means
of passing knowledge on to the next generation. Awotua-Efebo (2001) sees teaching as
an interaction between a teacher and a student under the teacher’s responsibility, to bring
about the expected change in the student’s behavior ([5],p.78).
A method is often understood as a path, a way to achieve certain goals.
Teaching methods, including different types of teaching methods, are the
strategies and techniques that educators use to facilitate learning and instruction in
the classroom. These methods are specifically designed to help students engage with
the material, develop critical thinking skills, and ultimately retain and apply the
knowledge they acquire. Some examples of types of teaching methods include
traditional lecture-style presentations, interactive discussions, hands-on activities,
and technology-based tools ([3],p.1).
The teaching method is the way the teacher's activities and interactions trigger
the necessary activities and interactions of the students to achieve the teaching goals.
1.2.2. Overall of teaching methods.
Along with building the concept of teaching methods, people research to form a
classification system of teaching methods. Currently, there are many such systems, but
they are not yet complete and have not reached international consensus. The reason for
this is due to the multi-dimensional teaching methods. Depending on one aspect or
another, we can list teaching methods in one way or another.
People can present teaching methods as a whole according to the following
aspects :
(i) Functions to manage the teaching and learning process.

5
• Ensure starting level,
• Targeting and motivating,
• Work with new content,
• Consolidate,
• Testing and evaluation,
• Instructions for work at home.
In particular, consolidation can be done in the following forms: practice,
deepening, systematization, application, and review.
(ii) Cognitive pathways.
• Inference,
• Induction.
(iii) Forms of external activities of teachers and students.
• Teacher gives presentation,
• Teacher and students ask and answer questions,
• Students work independently.
(iv) Levels of exploration and discovery.
• Transfer knowledge in available form,
• Teaching to discover and solve problems.
(v) Forms of teaching organization.
Based on the number of students in the learning unit, we have the following
forms: teaching in classes, teaching in groups, and teaching in pairs.
On the other hand, depending on whether the teaching process is different for
each type of student, people distinguish simultaneous teaching from differentiated
teaching.
(vi) Teaching aids.
• Using audio-visual media,
• Using programming means,
• Working with textbooks,
• Working with wall panels,
• Use information and communication technology as teaching tools.
(vii) Typical teaching situations

6
• In Mathematics, we can include:
• Teaching mathematical concepts,
• Teaching mathematical theorems,
• Teaching rules, methods,
• Teaching and solving math problems.
(viii) Forms of self-study
• Read a book,
• Self-study in the information and communication technology environment,
• Ask the teacher, ask a friend, ask an expert.
1.2.3. Applying traditional teaching methods to the process of teaching
mathematics.
Traditional teaching methods: presentation, question and answer, visualization,
review (in the sense of consolidation), practice, and testing are presented carefully in
educational books ([4],p.110).
There are many ways to convey information to students: presentations, questions,
and answers, using visual aids, etc. We can choose this method depending on the content
of the lesson and specific conditions. Or another way, the key thing that determines
learning outcomes is the students' self-awareness, positivity, initiative, and creativity. If
students cannot be stimulated to think and act, then even if the teacher talks endlessly,
uses many audio-visual aids, and gives many exercises, those actions will not bring the
desired results. Students must be the subject of the learning process. The teacher's words,
questions, audio-visual media, etc. do not replace but only arouse students' self-
conscious, positive, proactive, and creative activities.
The most common form of presentation in mathematics is explanation. In this
form, words are often used to reason, lead exploration, explain, and prove. Therefore, if
in literature, the teacher often uses figurative language, then in mathematics, the teacher
needs to pay special attention to the accuracy and logic of the words.
Also, in mathematics, visualization is a support for discovery, not a method to
confirm knowledge. It is necessary to prevent students from quickly misinterpreting
things discovered through visualization. Teachers need to elicit needs and habits to
rigorously demonstrate these findings.

7
1.2.4. Demands and the directions for innovating teaching methods.
As Kilpatrick (1992) notes, “Mathematicians have a long, if sporadic, history of
interest in studying the teaching and learning of their subject.” This concern for the
content and organization of school mathematics curricula was especially acute during
the reform era of the 1950s and 1960s when hundreds of research mathematicians
engaged in curriculum development and teacher education projects designed to update
school programs ([8],p.16).
Teaching methods can also affect the development of students' creativity. In the
past, when Viet Nam has not applied changes to the educational program, teaching
methods in our country still have common shortcomings:
• The teacher lectured widely;
• Knowledge is transmitted in a ready-made form, with a few elements of exploration
and discovery;
• The teacher imposes, and the student is passive;
• Focused on teaching, weak on learning, lacking self-awareness, positivity, and
creativity of learners;
• Unable to control the learning process.
This has motivated Viet Nam to make changes to the educational program,
specifically changing from the old teaching program to the general education program
in 2018 with the main idea being "Active teaching (or education) methods": Promoting
the initiative and creativity of professional teams and teachers in implementing the
program; exploiting and effectively using facilities and teaching equipment to meet the
requirements of implementing teaching methods; and testing and evaluating according
to the requirements of developing student qualities and abilities ([1],p.1). This state
requires students to ensure a subjective and active role in the learning process. This
requirement has been reflected in the legal documents of the Vietnamese government in
2018.
To be able to well implement this orientation of the Vietnamese government, we
need to achieve the following goals:
- Learners are subjects of independent or collaborative learning activities.
- Knowledge is installed in situations with pedagogical intentions.
- Teaching learning and self-study through the entire teaching process.
- Self-create and exploit teaching tools to continue and increase human strength.

8
- Create learning optimism based on the learners' labor and achievements.
- Identify the new role of the teacher as designer, delegate, controller, and formalizer.
1.2.5. Basic elements of teaching methods.
The teaching and learning process can be explained as a systematic and planned
course of action for the teacher and the students such that the best possible outcome of
teaching and learning can be obtained. It is a combined process where a teacher assesses
understanding needs, establishes particular learning objectives, formulates teaching and
memorizing strategies, enforces a plan of work, and assesses the outcomes of the
instruction. Decomposing an activity into component activities also helps us organize
students to carry out activities with a complexity that is suitable for students. In general,
many teaching and learning approaches can strengthen the student's understanding and
mastery of the subjects that have been taught, such as teacher-centered, student-
centered, interactive, constructivist, collaborative, and indirect ([6],p.10).
Carrying out activities often requires certain knowledge, especially
methodological knowledge. Such knowledge is sometimes the result of an active
process.
In activities, the results achieved at a certain level can be the premise for
practicing and achieving higher results. Therefore, it is necessary to classify activities at
different levels as a basis for directing the teaching process.
Thus, the operational viewpoint in teaching methods can be expressed in the
following main ideas ([4],p.124):
• Let students perform and practice activities and component activities that are
compatible with the content and teaching objectives;
• Evoke motivation for learning activities;
• Lead students to create knowledge, especially methodological knowledge such as the
means and results of activities;
• Grading activities as a basis for controlling the teaching process.
Briefly, we call the basic elements of the teaching method ([4],p.126):
• Activities and component activities;
• Motivation for learning activities;
• Knowledge of operations;
• Grading of activities.

9
1.3. Some related issues when preparing lesson plans
1.3.1. Teaching theory lessons.
In this part, we will focus mainly on how to teach the following knowledge:
- Teaching concepts and definitions
- Teaching mathematical theorems
- Teaching rules; method
a) Teaching concepts and definitions:
Defining a concept is a logical operation that distinguishes the class of objects
defining this concept from other objects, usually by outlining the connotation of that
concept.
Definitions usually have the following structure:

New words (represent a Word(s) that refer to a Prepositions (expressing


new concept) known object domain differences in gender)

For example. A square is a rectangle with two consecutive sides that are equal.
In this definition, the new word is square, the type or domain of the object is
rectangular, and the difference in species is two consecutive sides that are equal.
Teaching mathematical concepts in secondary school must help students
gradually achieve the following requirements ([4],p.342):
i) Master the characteristics that characterize a concept.
ii) Know how to identify concepts, that is, know how to detect whether a given object
belongs to the scope of a certain concept or not, and know how to express the concept,
that is, know how to create an object that belongs to the scope of a certain concept. a
given concept.
iii) Know how to clearly and accurately state the definitions of some concepts.
iv) Know how to apply concepts in specific situations in math-solving activities and
apply them in practice.
v) Know how to classify concepts and grasp the relationship of a concept with other
concepts in a concept system.
The process of approaching a concept does not end when the definition of that
concept is stated. A very important step is consolidating the concept; This step is usually
performed by the following activities:
• Identify and express concepts,
10
• Language activities,
• Generalize, specialize, and systematize learned concepts.
b) Teaching mathematical theorems:
Theorems along with mathematical concepts form the basic content of
mathematics, serving as the foundation for training subject skills, especially the ability
to reason and prove, and developing general intellectual capacity, training ideology,
qualities, and ethics.
Students master the methods of reasoning and argumentation in mathematics
when studying theorems and their proofs. In studying theorems, students must learn to
understand the essence of the theorem. For this, special work with the wording of the
theorem is necessary.
Teaching mathematical theorems aims to achieve the following requirements
([4], p.359):
• Students understand the system of theorems and the relationships between them,
thereby being able to apply them to math-solving activities as well as solving practical
problems;
• Students see the need to prove theorems, see that proving theorems is an important
element in the method of working in the field of mathematics;
• Students form and develop the ability to prove mathematics, from understanding
proofs, re-presenting proofs, and knowing how to think to find proofs, according to the
requirements of the general education program.
In teaching mathematical theorems, people distinguish between two paths: the
speculative path and the deductive path. These two paths are illustrated
diagrammatically in the diagram below:

11
Teaching a theorem does not end as soon as the theorem is stated and proven.
This step is usually performed by the following activities:
• Identify and express theorems;
• Language activities;
• Generalize, specialize, and systematize theorems.
c) Teaching mathematical rules and methods:
Rules and methods are not completely independent of definitions and theorems.
There are rules and methods based on a definition or theorem, sometimes it is just
another form of statement of a definition or theorem. However, teaching this type of
knowledge has its characteristics, so it is presented separately in this section.
Every day, people come into contact with many problems, ranging from simple
to complex. For some problems, there exist definite rules that describe the solution
process. From there, people come to the intuitive concept of algorithms, and this concept
has been used for a long time, spanning thousands of years in mathematics.
An algorithm in an intuitive sense is understood as a finite sequence of
instructions that can be executed in a monovalent way, ending after a finite number of
steps and resulting in the input information transformation (INPUT) of a class of
problems calculated into output information (OUTPUT) that describes the solution of
that class of problems ([4], p.377).

12
In secondary school, students work with many algorithms, such as adding,
subtracting, multiplying, dividing natural numbers and rational numbers, finding the
greatest common factor, the least common multiple of two numbers, solving systems of
two-step equations, solving quadratic equations, solving first-order equations for sin 𝑥
and cos 𝑥,...
In teaching mathematical rules and methods, there are some notes for the
teachers:
• First, students should be exposed to many forms of expressing a rule, creating
favorable conditions for them to master the step-by-step content and the order of
implementing the steps of that rule.
• Second, it is necessary to present the steps in specific examples according to a
consistent diagram at an appropriate time.
• Third, it is necessary to train students to follow the instructions given in the algorithm
or the pre-algorithm rules. If the subject does not know how to carry out such
instructions, even if he memorizes the general rule, he will not be able to apply it to
specific cases.
• Fourth, it is necessary to make students aware of and able to use basic control structures
to decide the sequence of steps.
• Fifth, through teaching algorithms and algorithm-like rules, we need to consciously
contribute to the development of students' algorithmic thinking.
1.3.2. Teaching practice lesson.
Math exercises play an important role in mathematics. The basic thing is that
exercises have a role in supporting students' activities. Through solving exercises,
students must perform certain activities, including identifying and expressing
definitions, theorems, rules or methods, complex mathematical activities, and general
intellectual activities. variables in mathematics, general intellectual activities, and
language activities. So, teachers need to pay attention to the practice lessons to teach
students how to solve exercises. Practice lessons often aim at the following goals:
• Form and consolidate knowledge, skills, and techniques in different stages of the
teaching process, including skills to apply mathematics in practice;
• Develop intellectual capacity: practice thinking activities, and form intellectual
qualities;

13
• Fostering a dialectical materialist worldview, forming the moral qualities of new
workers.
Teachers can guide students on general methods to solve math problems as
follows:
Step 1: Find out the content of the topic.
• State the problem in different formats to clearly understand the content of the problem;
• Distinguish between what is given and what must be found and proven;
• You can use formulas, symbols, and drawings to support the description of the topic.
Step 2: Find a solution.
• Explore and discover solutions thanks to speculative thoughts: changing what is given,
changing what must be found or proven, relating what is given or what must be found
with known knowledge, Relate the problem to be solved to a similar old problem, a
special case, a more general problem, or a related problem, using methods specific to
each type of problem, such as proof of reflection. Proof, mathematical induction,
construction math, locus math, etc.
• Check the solution by carefully reviewing each step specializing the results found, or
comparing the results with some related knowledge.
• Explore other solutions, and compare them to choose the most reasonable solution.
Step 3: Present the solution.
From the discovered solution, arrange the tasks into a program of steps in an
appropriate sequence, and execute those steps.
Step 4: Research the solution in depth.
• Research the applicability of the solution's results.
• Research and solve similar problems, expand or overturn the problem.
1.3.3. Teaching chapter review lesson:
The chapter review lesson aims to consolidate the entire theory of an entire chapter.
Therefore, chapter review is an indispensable lesson after finishing each chapter. There
are many different ways to teach and review chapters. To promote students' self-
discipline, positivity, initiative, and creativity, chapter review sessions should be
conducted according to the following steps:
- Teachers help students systematize the knowledge of the entire chapter.
- Practice the basic math forms of the chapter.

14
- Consolidate.

1.5. Conclusion of the chapter.
In this chapter, we have explored the fundamental aspects of teaching
mathematics, focusing on the objectives, methodology, and related issues in lesson
planning.
Firstly, we discussed the general objectives of mathematics education in
Vietnamese high schools, emphasizing the comprehensive development of students in
ethics, knowledge, health, aesthetics, and profession. Mathematics contributes
significantly to achieving these goals by fostering analytical thinking, problem-solving
skills, and intellectual abilities.
Secondly, we delved into the methodology of teaching mathematics,
encompassing various teaching methods and their applications. Traditional teaching
methods such as presentation, question and answer, visualization, and practice were
examined, along with the importance of student engagement and creativity in the

15
learning process. Additionally, we highlighted the need for innovation in teaching
methods to promote active learning and student-centered approaches.
Furthermore, we addressed some related issues in preparing lesson plans,
including teaching theory lessons, practice lessons, and chapter review lessons. Specific
strategies for teaching mathematical concepts, theorems, rules, and methods were
outlined, emphasizing the importance of student involvement, problem-solving skills,
and intellectual development.
Overall, this chapter underscores the essential role of mathematics education in
fostering students' intellectual growth, problem-solving abilities, and holistic
development. By employing effective teaching methods and strategies, educators can
empower students to become critical thinkers, lifelong learners, and responsible citizens.

2.5. Conclusion of the chapter.
In this chapter, I have designed 4 lesson plans in chapter VII: "Triangle" -
Geometry grade 7 (Canh Dieu book series) in English, specifically the following lesson:
Theory lesson plans:
Isosceles triangle;
Practice lesson plans:
Practice perpendicular bisector;
Review lesson plans:
Review Chapter VII;
Lesson plan for practicing some software lessons:
Using software in learning mathematics.
These lesson plans have been designed according to the requirements and goals
of the 2018 education program, according to Official Dispatch No. 5512. The
practicality and applicability of the above lesson plans will be evaluated and presented
in the next chapter.

66
CHAPTER 3: PEDAGOGICAL EXPERIMENT
3.1. Experimental purposes.
Evaluate the appropriateness of teaching activities with the knowledge objectives
and the duration of the lesson; the diversity of the teaching methods, and the
differentiation of exercises in the lesson plans.
3.2. Experimental requirements.
The lesson plan and the experimental process must demonstrate the application
of the teaching methods in actual teaching. At the same time, the application process
must also demonstrate initial effectiveness in promoting positive thinking. Students'
initiative, and creativity when receiving new mathematical knowledge contribute to
determining the paths, levels, etc. of applying dialogue methods in the process of
innovating literary teaching methods currently in secondary schools.
In this thesis, experimentation is not about confirming one thing compared to
another, but is only for surveying and drawing experience to have a practical basis to
continue to improve teaching methods.
3.3. Location, subjects, and experimental lessons.
3.3.1. Experimental locations and subjects.
Due to difficulties in the location to practice teaching mathematics in English and
not receiving permission from secondary schools to conduct teaching hours for students
in Hanoi. This thesis will select 3rd-year and senior students with expertise in teaching
mathematics in English to teach directly and use Google Forms to record feedback and
comments from attendees at the end of the lesson.
3.3.2. Experimental lesson.
- §7. Isosceles triangle (Mathematics textbook 7, volume 2, Canh Dieu textbook series,
Pedagogical University publisher).
- Practice perpendicular bisector (Mathematics textbook 7, volume 2, Canh Dieu
textbook series, Pedagogical University publisher).
- Review Chapter VII Triangle (Mathematics textbook 7, volume 2, Canh Dieu textbook
series, Pedagogical University publisher).
- Using software in learning mathematics (Mathematics textbook 7, volume 2, Canh
Dieu textbook series, Pedagogical University publisher).

67
3.4. Time and process of experimental teaching
3.4.1. Experimental time and procedure.
Conducting experiments in the 2023 - 2024 school year, specifically as follows:
The experimental procedure includes seven steps:
Step 1: The Mathematics teacher reads, comments, and evaluates the lesson plan.
Step 2: Edit the lesson plan according to the student guide's previous suggestions.
Step 3: Conduct teaching experiments.
Step 4: Conduct evaluation and comment meetings with experimental teachers.
Step 5: Statistics, analysis, and processing of experimental results.
Step 6: Adjust the lesson plans.
3.4.2. Experimental process
The thesis writer will directly teach the assessment lesson with the participation
of fifteen 3rd-year students and senior students majoring in teaching mathematics in
English and one teacher in the major. The experimental results will be evaluated based
on the evaluation form and comments from the teachers in the observation group.
3.5. Experimental evaluation.
After organizing the lessons, I sent a survey link to those who attended the class
to survey their comments on the advantages and disadvantages of the lessons. Below are
the survey results I received:

Diagram 3. 1: Display survey objects.

68
From this diagram, we can see that the number of 3rd-year students and senior
students is quite similar to each other. Therefore, we can objectively collect opinions
from both courses.

Diagram 3. 2: Investigate the clarity of lesson objectives.


In question number 2, four participants commented that the goals were not clearly
stated in some classes.

Diagram 3. 3: Investigate the correctness of the knowledge in the lessons.


In diagrams 3, the class attendees confirmed that there were no errors in
mathematical knowledge during the experimental lesson.

69
Diagram 3. 4: Investigate consistency in learning objectives and learning activities.
In terms of diagram 4, teachers are said to have consistency between learning
objectives and learning activities at an above-average level, with 100% of participants
rating it at level 3 or higher.

Diagram 3. 5: Survey participants' opinions on teacher's time management.


Mentioning the time management ability of the teacher, the data is somewhat
worse than other criteria, 4 participants rated it at level 2. The reason is that in some
lessons, the teacher still cannot control the progress of the lesson, causing the lesson to
end later than expected.

70
Diagram 3. 6: Survey participants' opinions on the diversity of the activities in the
lessons.
In diagram 6, good comments from participants are recorded about the diversity
of activities in the lesson. About 53,3% of the attendees rated at levels 4 and 5. But 46%
of people rate the variety of activities as only average

Diagram 3. 7: Survey participants' opinions on the differentiation of activities in the


lessons.
Regarding the differentiation of the activities in the experimental lessons, the
teacher is said to have differentiation in the exercises and has been rated at level 4 by 9
participants.
Professionally, through sample lessons in front of teachers in the 3rd-year, senior
students majoring in Teaching Mathematics in English, I consulted and received the
following comments:
Advantage:

71
- The lesson plan follows the model according to the newly issued Circular 5512 of the
Ministry of Education.
- Lessons are considered to be differentiated and diverse in their activities.
- Stick to the lesson plan and fully demonstrate the steps in class.
- Actively engage learners through question-and-answer methods, group activities, etc.
In addition to the results achieved as mentioned above, the experimental lessons
still reveal shortcomings that need to be overcome to make future lesson plans more
effective.
Disadvantages:
- Time problem: Almost all experimental lessons cannot complete all the content of the
prepared lesson plan.
- Besides, I received some comments after the lessons as follows:
+ “The teacher does give activities for students, but I think she can figure out some ways
for students to conclude the properties on their own.”
+ “Teacher can give more diverse activities in warm-up activities.”
+ “Each activity needs to target many students in the class and ensure knowledge is
appropriate for all students.”
+ “Teacher may have more exercises at a higher level for good students.”
The above shortcomings show that in the process of continuing to improve the
process of organizing mathematics classes in English, implementers need to stick closer
to teaching practices to make timely and appropriate adjustments. For example:
Teachers need to pay attention to the duration of lessons and avoid wasting time on
redundant activities. At the same time, teachers need to focus on differentiating
exercises to suit each student's ability, so that both weak and strong students can grasp
the lesson and develop their abilities. It is necessary to create activities for students to
be more proactive and discover knowledge on their own.
3.6. Conclusion for this chapter.
In this chapter, we conducted a pedagogical experiment aimed at evaluating the
effectiveness of teaching methods in mathematics classes conducted in English. The
experiment focused on assessing the clarity of lesson objectives, the correctness of
mathematical knowledge, the consistency between learning objectives and activities,
time management, diversity, and differentiation of activities.

72
Overall, the experimental results revealed both strengths and areas for
improvement in the teaching methodology. The lessons were generally praised for
following the prescribed model outlined by the Ministry of Education, being
differentiated and diverse in their activities, and actively engaging learners through
various methods.
However, some shortcomings were identified, particularly regarding time
management, with lessons often running over the allocated time due to incomplete
content coverage. Feedback from participants also highlighted the need for more
student-centered activities, diverse warm-up exercises, and differentiated exercises to
cater to students' varying abilities.
These findings emphasize the importance of continuous improvement in teaching
practices, with a focus on addressing identified weaknesses to enhance the effectiveness
of future lesson plans. Teachers should strive to optimize time management, incorporate
more student-centered activities, and tailor exercises to meet the needs of all students,
fostering a more engaging and inclusive learning environment.
Overall, the pedagogical experiment provided valuable insights that will inform
the refinement of teaching methods and the development of more effective lesson plans
in mathematics education conducted in English.

73
CONCLUSION
In this thesis, I have researched and prepared several lesson plans in chapter VII:
"Triangle" - Geometry grade 7 (Canh Dieu book series) in English, specifically the
following lesson:
Theory lesson plans:
Isosceles triangle;
Practice lesson plans:
Practice perpendicular bisector;
Review lesson plans:
Review Chapter VII;
Lesson plan for practicing some software lessons:
Using software in learning mathematics.
Due to limited time, I only stopped at mentioning and solving the most basic
issues in preparing a plan to teach Geometry grade 7 in English according to Official
Dispatch No. 5512 of the Ministry of Education and Training. and it is not possible to
conduct direct experiments with students. On the other hand, because my knowledge is
still limited and I have no practical experience, the thesis cannot avoid errors. Therefore,
I look forward to receiving your comments and additions to make my thesis more
complete.
Thank you sincerely!
