Requirements for Unit Lesson Plan

Develop an original unit covering one or two weeks of instruction, not to include a review day or a test day, on a major topic in mathematics. (You may incorporate the daily plan that you did individually as one of the lessons.)  You may include labs, worksheets, etc. that are produced by the textbook publisher if you think that they are appropriate, but also include some original activities and assessments that you create or adapt from other sources.  You do not have to go into the extreme detail on each daily lesson as you did on the daily plan.  However, key example and activities should be included as they would be used by students.  Be sure to incorporate your knowledge of learning styles, diversity, and uses of technology into the unit.

Your Unit should be submitted in LiveText or Taskstream.  Organize your unit as follows:

1.         Title: Choose a descriptive title for your unit.

2.        Time Allotment: How long is each class period and how many days will the unit last (at least 5 days, not to include a review or test day)?

3.        Class Characteristics: Describe the students for which your unit is planned (grade, ability level, special situations).

4.       Rationale for Unit: Why is it important that students learn the topics and skills included in this unit?  How does it relate to previous learning and prepare students for future learning?  How does it relate to their lives?

5.        Instructional Goals: List your overall goals or unit objectives.

6.        Standards: List the national, state, and local content standards that are met by the activities in your unit.

7.        Materials and Resources: List the general resources that you will use (titles of books or videos,  Internet sites, names of math kits, names of guest speakers, etc.)

8.        Lesson Plans: Include your daily lesson plans for each day of the unit. Use the standard lesson plan format provided to you (template for Secondary Education).  In planning your daily objectives, keep in mind learning styles, diversity, and technology.  Incorporate both teacher-centered instruction, such as mini-lectures, class discussion, or demonstrations, and student-centered learning, such as discovery lessons, small group work, or individual projects.

9.        Formative Assessment: Include copies or descriptions of the daily assessments that you will use to monitor ongoing learning, such as worksheets, homework exercises, check sheets, writing tasks, or quizzes.
