LEARNING CONTEXT

Purpose/Rationale for the Learning Experience: The purpose of this lesson is to reinforce student’s understanding of

symmetry and teach students how to construct lines of symmetry. This lesson is part of a geometry unit where students previously practiced drawing lines, line segments, and rays and identified congruent and symmetrical figures. The purpose of this learning experience is for students to use the knowledge and skills learned throughout the geometry unit and apply it to their understanding of symmetry. The learner will hopefully transfer these skills to other problem solving situations in Mathematics and Art.

Enduring Understanding: Students can draw lines that are symmetrical and be able to describe and

recognize symmetrical images.

Essential Question: Can you construct lines of symmetry?

Guiding Questions: What do you already know about symmetry? What are lines of symmetry? Can you identify a figure that is asymmetrical?

Objectives:1.0 The learner will be able to identify lines of symmetry with 95 percent

accuracy.2.0 The learner will be able to construct lines of symmetry with 90 percent accuracy.3.0 The learner will be able to verbally answer comprehension questions with teacher support with 90-95 percent accuracy.

Overview of what the students need to know and be able to do in order to succeed:

Prior to Learning Experience: Students should have a clear understanding of most of the key subject-specific vocabulary terms. Students should be able to correctly use a straightedge to draw line segments and have a basic understanding of symmetry.

During the Learning Experience:Students will be able to relate what they already know about symmetry from past lessons in our Geometry unit.

After the Learning Experience:At the conclusion of the lesson, students should have a definite understanding of symmetry. Students should be able to apply the idea of symmetry to future math experiences.

Classroom Rules and Procedures: There are five rules in the classroom, refer to attachment three to view a

copy of the rules poster.o While the teacher is talking be quiet.o Before you talk raise your hand.o Keep your hands, feet and objects to yourself.o Bring all necessary materials to class.o Follow instructions the first time.

There is a list of class procedures, see attachment four to view a copy.

Key Subject-Specific Vocabulary:Students should have the basic knowledge of these key math vocabulary

words prior, during, and after this learning experience.

Asymmetrical – Not identical on both sides of a central line Centimeter – A unit of length in the metric system (equal to .01 of a meter) Connect – To join or link together Construct – (Geometry) To draw a figure fulfilling certain given conditions Identify – To recognize or establish as being a particular thing Line of Symmetry - A line that divides a figure into two congruent parts,

each of which is the mirror image of the other. Line Segment – (Geometry) A finite section of a line Mirror Image – An image of something as it would appear if viewed in a

mirror, with right and left reversed Measure – The extent, dimensions or quantity of something ascertained by

comparison with a standard Straightedge - A bar or strip of wood, plastic, or metal having at least one

long edge of sufficiently reliable straightness for use in

drawing or testing straight lines, plane surfaces, etc. Symmetrical - Noting a set consisting of pairs of points having this relation

with respect to the same axis Symmetry – Something is exactly the same on both sides

ASSESSMENT PLAN

Students will be assessed through a number of different ways throughout the learning experience. This learning experience includes assessments that are diagnostic, formative and summative.

The diagnostic assessment includes a short pre-assessment. For a pre-assessment, students are going to complete four letters to make them symmetrical. This short assessment will show the teacher whether or not students have a basic understanding of symmetry. At the end of the lesson, the pre-assessment results will be compared with the scores of student’s Symmetrical Kites as a summative assessment. Students will create kites that test their ability to draw symmetrical lines and points, similar to the first pre-assessment activity.

As another summative assessment, students will complete a worksheet where they need to complete different shapes to make them symmetrical. This will be scored to check student’s understanding.

One formative assessment will be our discussion about the Brain Pop video. Another formative assessment will be during the guided practice where students need to connect and measure certain points. If student’s points are the same distance from the centerline, their shape is symmetrical. This will not be scored but be used as a tool for extra practice and exposure to symmetry.

The rubric’s criterion aligns well with the NYS standards. The performance indicators for Geometry emphasize that students need to be able to identify and construct lines of symmetry. This rubric assesses a student’s ability to construct points and lines of symmetry. I will review the rubric before students work on their kites so they know what is expected as well as write comments on each rubric so students have a better understanding of their grade. Students are used to seeing rubrics and understand that their score on their Symmetrical Kites will be apart of their symmetry grade for the Geometry unit.

STUDENT WORK

Grade Level/Ability This learning experience was taught to 15 third grade students

o 7 boys and 8 girls All 15 students are at the benchmark level in Mathematics.

o In the beginning of the year students were separated into different math classes depending on ability and their scores on various assessments.

Students will be producing two pieces of work throughout the learning experience. The first piece of work will serve as the diagnostic assessment, a worksheet called Symmetric Shapes. The students will also be completing their Symmetrical Kites, which will serve as the summative assessment for the learning experience. Student work is included in the attachments of this learning experience, categorized as developing, proficient, and distinguished.

Before going over the definition of symmetry, students were asked to complete four letters to make them symmetrical. Five students were developing and got either zero or one letter correct on the pre-test. Seven students were proficient and got either two or three letters correct and three students were distinguished and got all four of the letters correct. Next, students saw five pictures and had to decide whether the pictures were symmetrical or asymmetrical. Students quickly jotted down their answers and a majority of the class was able to recognize when something is symmetrical.

Eight students were distinguished and received between 8 and 9 on the Symmetrical Kites rubric. Refer to attachments 24-29 to see student work samples.

After the lesson on Symmetry, most of the students were either proficient or distinguished in their understanding of drawing and recognizing symmetrical lines. Twelve students were proficient or distinguished at the end of the lesson, compared with ten students at the beginning of the lesson. Also, by the end of the lesson only three students were developing compared with five students in the beginning of the lesson. Many students also moved from being proficient in their understanding of symmetry to being distinguished.

PROCEDURE

Anticipatory Set: (8 minutes) Students will be asked to complete questions 1-4 on page 146 of their Math

Journals called Symmetric Shapes. I will call on one student to read the directions and then students will have 3 minutes to complete the letters. This will be used as a pre-assessment to see what students remember about symmetry from last year.

I will put a definition of Symmetry on the overhead projector. Once students are seated quietly in their seats, I will call on someone to read the definition.

Next I will hold up five pictures of things that are symmetrical and asymmetrical. The class will discuss if the pictures are symmetrical and why.

4/27/10

Input, Modeling, Checking for Understanding: (25 minutes) Students will watch a short Brain Pop video clip about symmetry. After

watching the video, students will share with a partner and then with the class one thing they learned from the video.

I will tell students that symmetry helps birds to fly and humans to walk to bring in a real world connection. I will also fly two paper airplanes, one that is symmetrical and one that is not. Students will have a few minutes to think of other examples.

Next, one student will pass out Math Masters page 185 to each student (attachment 6). I will have a copy of the workbook page on the overhead and tell students that they need to use a straightedge to draw line segments to connect the dots in order. I will demonstrate by drawing the first line from A to B, stressing that students need to connect the dots in order using a straightedge. I will ask students where the next line should be drawn and use my finger to show how the rest of the dots connect.

Next I will hold up page 185 and show students how to fold along the dotted line, keeping the picture on the outside. While keeping it folded, I will tell students to cut along the solid line. I will demonstrate at the front of the room so that students have a visual example.

Students will have about five minutes to connect the dots and cut out the kite. I will be walking around to monitor student progress and answer any questions. While students are working, the directions will be on the overhead for students to reference.

I will show students how to hold the kite up to a light source and mark the points on the unmarked half with a pencil. So that students can see the demonstration better and have more room at the window, only eight students are going to do this part of the lesson at a time. I will show students my finished product so they have a visual representation. Then I will go over the rubric so students know what is expected of them.

I will call eight students to come to the windows with their kites and a pencil. The remaining eight students will be asked to read through pages 122 and 123 with a partner in their Student Reference books until it is their turn to come to the windows. Once the first group of students is finished at the windows, the two groups will switch activities.

Once everyone has had a chance to go to the window, students will have time to connect the new set of points like they did in the beginning of the lesson. As a class students will talk about the similarities and differences of the printed pattern and its mirror image.

Guided Practice: (10 minutes) Next students are going to connect 3 pairs of matching points (a point on the

right side to its corresponding point on the left side). For each pair of matching points students are going to measure the distance in centimeters from each point to the fold line and share their observations. I will model this on the overhead.

4/27/10

Independent Practice: (15 minutes) Students will work on page 146 in their Math Journals. Students need to

draw the missing halves of symmetric figures. I will be walking around to check if students understand the worksheet they are completing. It is part of the classroom routine to start the day’s homework if students finish, which reinforces the concepts and skills learned today.

Closing: (5 minutes) Students will be asked to discuss with a partner the definition of symmetry

and give an example of something symmetrical.

task. Allows for the

students who are more visual learners to refer to a model of what they are expected to complete.

Content/Material Visual models Students will see the symmetrical kite at different stages, many visual examples.

This provides a reference tool to the more visual learners.

Tasks Increase the amount of time to finish the kite

Specific students will be given extra time to complete the task during the school day

It allows students to take their time and not be rushed to complete the task.

Teacher Exemplar

The teacher exemplar served as a model and guide for students to use during both the modeling and independent work portions of the learning experience. The students had a clear understanding of how their kites should look when complete. My teacher exemplar provides the necessary elements that are in the rubric and scored 20 out of 20 points. Refer to attachment 22 and 23 to see teacher exemplar with the scored rubric.

Time Required

Planning: 2-3 hours To plan this lesson I needed to decide on the activities and how they would

fit into our Math block of 75 minutes. I made symmetrical and asymmetrical pictures/designs to help review

symmetry in the beginning of the lesson. I created a rubric and teacher exemplar.

Implementation: 1 hour and 15 minute lesson

4/27/10

Assessment (per student): 2 minutes per student for the pre-assessment 15-20 minutes to complete the Symmetrical Kite 3-4 minutes for individual assessment using final rubric

Schedule/Unit Plan: This was lesson nine in the geometry unit, with five more lessons, including a

review day to reinforce the skills and concepts learned throughout the unit. Before learning about symmetry we had a lesson about rays, lines and line segments. After the lesson on symmetry, we had an “explorations” day where students went to four centers that reinforced concepts already learned in the unit, including symmetry.

Reflection

I really enjoyed teaching this lesson and I am happy about the progress that many of my students achieved. I was not surprised by the pre-assessment results because I knew that it had been awhile since my students were introduced to symmetry. Once we went over the definition of symmetry, looked at examples and watched the short Brain Pop video, students began to recall more about symmetry. One boy said, “The snowflake I made last week is symmetrical.” Other students started to point to their snowflakes that were hanging up in the classroom and told how and why they were symmetrical. I was happy that students were making a connection with items in the classroom. I was excited that many students were either proficient or distinguished by the end of the lesson and seemed to understand the concepts of symmetry. On the unit test that my students took the following week, a majority of the class made adequate progress on the symmetry section.

I created this learning experience on symmetry because it is a concept that is very sequential. Students start to be introduced to symmetry in first grade and also in higher grades. Symmetry is almost always tested on the third grade NYS assessment and I wanted my students to be familiar with this term. I believe that I met my teaching objective because students gained and retained more knowledge about symmetry. I feel that students met the learning objectives as well as the performance indicator because this learning experience helped students understand that symmetry is everywhere. Life application was achieved, as students were able to identify lines of symmetry, construct lines of symmetry and answer comprehension questions with 90-95 percent accuracy

Students needed to apply skills that we learned in previous lessons. For example, students needed to understand how to draw a straight line and recognize and draw line segments. I was pleasantly surprised by the way that students used a straightedge to draw straight lines. It was a great way to show my students that using a straight edge makes a big difference because if their lines are not straight and accurate my picture can become asymmetrical.

4/27/10

13

Almost all of my students were able to complete their kites and the worksheet in the given time. There were a few students who finished about five to ten minutes early and those students were able to start their Mathboxes and Homelinks for the next day. Their homework was about symmetry so it was a good way to reinforce the concepts learned during the lesson. It is the classroom procedure to give students five to ten minutes at the end of a lesson to begin their homework.

We were able to take fifteen minutes the next class to review what we learned and go over the Symmetric Shapes worksheet. We were also able to review symmetry during Explorations, which is a day designated in each unit to review concepts learned. During Explorations we worked in small groups of four or five students, one center focused on making symmetrical shapes and at another center students created another symmetrical kite with a different design. At the end of the unit we had a review day before the unit test and I created a Jeopardy game to play with my students. The game was a great way to review symmetry and my students had a great time and they were thoroughly engaged. The game was so effective that we played it during other math units throughout my placement. The last thing that we did with symmetry was make symmetrical hearts with different colored construction paper. There is a picture of our bulletin board with all of the student’s hearts on attachment 10.

My peer review was on March 30, 2010 at Daemen College. My focus question was related to my rubric and if it was clear and easy to follow. I received a lot of feedback and with my peer’s comments was able to improve my rubric to make it more reliable. I changed the weight of different sections, putting an emphasis on sections that were directly related to the NYS standard. I also modified my lesson by adding a few more real life examples to help students make a better connection.

During my peer review, one classmate said, “I really like how you brought technology into the lesson, Brain Pop is a great tool in the classroom.” This lesson has helped me to better understand different kinds of assessments, histograms and modification tables. I think I am more prepared to teach students and I feel this was a great learning experience.

1. Personal Items – Students are each assigned to a clothes hook that is located in the back of the classroom. Students are supposed to hang up their coats and backpacks on the hooks and place extra items including their lunch boxes on the rack that is above their specific coat rack when they come in the morning.

2. Lunch Count – After students hang up their backpacks they are supposed to take their magnetic name tag and place it under their lunch choice for the day. This needs to be done first thing because the main office collects the lunch count by 8:20.

3. Homework Check-In – When students walk into the classroom in the morning their teacher is located at the back table. Students are to bring their homework folder and planner to their teacher to check their homework. If there is a line of more than 3 people, students are to work on their morning work until the line goes down.

4. Morning Work – The easel located near the front of the room has the morning work that students are supposed to complete each morning.

5. Morning Announcements – At 8:15 the teacher turns the television to channel 10 and the morning announcements begin. Students are supposed to stop their morning work and listen to the announcements without talking.

6. Late Arrivals – Students that arrive after 8:20 should come into the class with a yellow slip from the office. The student then is instructed by the teacher where they are to begin for the morning.

7. Walking in the Halls as a Group – Students are to walk silently in a straight line behind their teacher.

8. Walking in the Halls Alone – Students are to walk in the halls silently, not disrupting any other classrooms.

9. Bathroom – Only one boy and one girl are allowed to go to the bathroom at a time. Boys are supposed to place the boys pass on their desk girls and girls are supposed to place the girls pass on their desk while at the bathroom. Once back in the classroom students are to return the pass to the blue bin located by the door of the classroom.

10. Asking a Question – Whether a child is listening to an instructional lesson, working with a peer or working individually, the student must raise their hand and wait for their teacher to answer their question.
