Artifact: Lesson for Virtual Day

During my second student teaching placement in Springville I was tasked with teaching an online lesson for the students virtual day on the topic of scatter plots. On Wednesday’s Springville middle school students have a virtual day that consists of 20 minute periods. Students were required to log onto the Google Meet through the Google Classroom and then take notes and be able to log on and play the interactive review game I created. I made this lesson to have notes and an interactive game because I understand that especially online students have a hard time focusing on the notes for long periods of time. This interactive game allowed students to be in their competitive nature through a game, but also be practicing the mathematical content that was in the lesson. This made the math more engaging for students and promoted more involvement in the lesson.
