=**UMF LESSON PLAN FORMAT**=

**Grade Level: Topic: 9**

 * =**Objectives**:= ||
 * Student will understand that the values of trigonometric functions are used mainly to solve problems in right triangles. ||
 * Student will know Trigonometry solves missing lengths in right triangles by using trigonometric ratios and functions. ||
 * Student will be able to use Inverse trigonometric functions are used to solve for missing angles and lengths of triangles. ||

Geometric Figures Grades 9-Diploma 3. Students understand and use basic ideas of trigonometry. b.Use Trigonometric functions to solve for missing lengths in right triangles. ||
 * =**Maine Learning Results Alignment**= ||
 * //Maine Learning Results//: Mathematics D. Algebra

students shall then us a table that has values of key angles and values of trigonometric functions. || Students will write a blog about what they learned in class today. ||
 * =Assessment= ||
 * **Formative** (Assessment for Learning)
 * **Summative** (Assessment of Learning)

= = Science- An example will be given about the tides. History- students will start to analize their journals and their lessons: this is the basic concept of history. ||
 * =**Integration**= ||
 * English- blog entries, journals.


 * =**Groupings**= ||
 * Students will be counted off into groups of 3. They will discuss the problems That I have given them, after the lecture, and they will solve them in groups ||

.(Intrapersonal) student shall work on problems independantly. (Musical) students shall write a song about the unit circle. (Naturalist) students will compare the unit circle to how the ocean's tides work and possibly make a hypothesis based upon their findings. (interpersonal) students will discuss problems involving the unit circle. (Interpersonal) the students shall blog about the problems within the groups I assigned earlier. (Logical) students will be rquired to prepare a step by step presentation to me about homework problems I will give them. All of these MI activities will be assigned for homework. || IEP's, 504s or ELLIDEPs and make appropriate accomidations and modifications. || Absent students will be responsible for obtaining lesson notes from a friend and student will be given an extra day to complete homework they missed. Students will have to do an MI activity for homework that involves a demonstration of mastery through their preffered intelligence. ||

 * Students will need to know how to use a computer or laptop.


 * =Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale= ||
 * __Standard 3__ - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.
 * Rationale:** Students will graph functions and they will learn how the unit circle can unlock the graphs of the functions. The group work will ask students to work with others. The environment will be as encouraging as possible as I will work with students 1 on 1 during the last part of class. ||
 * __Standard 4__ - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.
 * Rationale:** Students will explain and find the value of trigonometric ratios for angles in right triangles. Students will interpret the missing angles or lengths of right triangles using trigonometry. Students will use trigonometric functions to solve for missing lengths in right triangles.compare angles and right triangles using trigonometric functions. Students will consider the real world uses of trigonometry.Students will be aware of which trigonometric functions to use in a given situation. ||
 * __Standard 5__ - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.
 * Rationale:** (Intrapersonal) student shall work on problems independently. (Musical) students shall write a song about the unit circle. (Naturalist) students will compare the unit circle to how the ocean's tides work and possibly make a hypothesis based upon their findings. (Interpersonal) students will discuss problems involving the unit circle. (Interpersonal) the students shall blog about the problems within the groups I assigned earlier. (Logical) students will be required to prepare a step by step presentation to me about homework problems I will give them. All of these MI activities will be assigned for homework. ||
 * __Standard 8__ - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.
 * Rationale:** Students will be graded based upon the MI feedback sheets. ||


 * =Teaching and Learning Sequence:= ||
 * (5-10min) Students will enter the room and I will greet them. I will ask volunteers to come up to the board and present their MI activity. I will explain very clearly that the students have nothing to fear because these MI activities are very difficult and display a lot of courage when they are done. I will require that students pay attention to their peers because they will need to peer review using the same sheet I have. I will reqire all of the students to recorde at least one positve aspect of their peer's presentation. ||
 * (10-20min)The students will present their homework while the students and I record our feedback. After all of the students have gone, I will tell them that what they have done has never really been tried in a math class before and that they should be proud of themselves. I will then begin the lesson. ||
 * (30-50min) I will give them their lesson on the Unit circle. I will ask them to draw a T-chart for three angles: 30,45,60 on one side and the values of sine, cosine and tangent respectively. I will go over the first three problems on the sheet and I will tell them to only do the problems that have sine, cosine, and tangent for their homework. After I mention this, I will tell them what they can do for the MI activities and I will give them the MI sheet that has the guidelines.I will mention that they need to keep this sheet for future references. I will remind the students about their blogs that they use to reflect upon the lesson and I will give them the remainder of class to work on their homework. ||
