Instructional Objective: By the end of the lesson, (1) what concept, information, skill, or
strategy will the student(s) learn and (2) how will they demonstrate that knowledge?
Assessment: What specific, tangible evidence will show that each student has met this
objective?
Students will participate in a matching activity, but will be required to record their own
answers on an answer sheet where they will have to show their work.
Academic Language Objective: By the end of the lesson, (1) what language, relating to
the lesson and lesson content, will the student(s) know or learn, and (2) how will they
demonstrate that knowledge? Refer to WIDA and Three Tiers of Vocabulary Beck,
Kucan, and McKeown (2002) as cited by Thaashida L. Hutton in Three Tiers of
Vocabulary and Education.
Students will be able to appropriately use and interpret the terms supplementary,
complementary, and vertical angles.
Students will be able to practice using these terms through dialogic reasoning and
discussion during the activity and will be able to negotiate meaning of these three terms.
Assessment: What specific, tangible evidence will show that each student has met this
objective?
Students will demonstrate their explicit knowledge of these terms through the warm-up
and their applied knowledge through the matching activity.
Content: What are the specific details of the lesson’s content knowledge?
Given different angle measures written as algebraic expressions, students will combine
their algebraic knowledge and their new knowledge of complementary, supplementary,
and vertical angles in order to find the exact measurement of each angle. Students will be
able to scaffold upon their previous algebraic skills in order to determine the correct angle
measure.
● Students will begin class with a 5 minute warm up on the board for them to
review the vocabulary terms they learned the day before.
○ Students will be asked to say which set of angles are complementary,
supplementary, and vertical
● During this time, I will walk around the classroom to make sure students are on
task and have written the answers in a satisfactory way. This means prompting
students to say that ∠AOD and ∠DOB are supplementary. This will allow
students the opportunity to practice labelling angles.
● After the five minutes has passed, I will go to the board and ask students to walk
me through the answer to this problem.
○ I will do this instead of students because many students will have been
absent the day before because of a field trip, so I will quickly review the
vocabulary and provide additional examples if necessary
● Afterwards, I will provide time to ask questions and to make sure students
understand these vocabulary
○ If confusion, share my trick:
■ C comes before S so Complementary 90 degrees and
Supplementary 180 degrees because 90 comes before 180
Mini-Activity
● Students will then be given a half sheet of paper with a few angles and their
measurements and will be asked to find the missing angle.
● This is designed to make sure students understand how to find missing angle
measures before I introduce algebra
● Quickly review the answers by asking students to come to the board and write
down their answers
○ Make sure we are all in agreement and all understand
○ Ask for questions
○ Explain that we are now moving into an activity which will do the same
thing but with algebra
During Lesson (_40_ minutes): How will you direct, guide, and/or facilitate the learning
process to support the students in working toward meeting the instructional objectives?
● After the small initiator activity, I will make sure students are ready for the next
activity and are sitting with people who will not be as distracting.
● At this point, I do a quick example at the board so that students know my
expectations for this activity. I will draw either a supplementary, complementary,
or vertical angle (depending on which they seemed to have the most trouble with
in the warm up) and I will then illustrate how to solve for the angles measures if
they are in algebraic notation.
○ Ex. (6x+4) + (3x+5) = 90 → 9x+9=90 → x=9 then each angle measure is
6(9)+4=58, 3(9)+5=32 and notice that 58+32=90 (check method)
● Ask and Answer any questions
● Then go ahead and distribute the cards and answer sheets while explaining the
game
○ Tell students they will work together to match the various angles to their
algebraic expressions to their angle measures
○ There will be 4 sets of cards with varying difficulty to allow students to try
some easier and more difficult examples
● While students are matching
○ I will walk around the classroom to monitor progress, answer questions,
check in with students, and make sure they remain on task
○ I will review answers in small groups and if there is a problem that keeps
occuring, I will review as a whole class
Closing (_5_ minutes): How will you bring closure to the lesson and, by doing so, review
and determine what students have learned?
● At the end of class, I will ask students if they have any questions
● I will initiate a discussion based on the process of sorting different angles and
their measures in this matching game.
○ Ask students what techniques they used to reason through their matching
problems
● If there is time, perhaps introduce the idea of a transversal which students will be
learning the next class. Not in so many words, but remind students about a
parallelogram and that opposite angles are equal so that means adjacent angles
must be supplementary
○ Just ask if they have any observations with respect to angle measurements
in a parallelogram, see what students come up with, to get their gears
turning for their next class
Learner Factors: What will you do to ensure success from all students? Specifically
students on individual education plans, English language learners (at a variety of
English language levels), and students who may need an extended challenge. Highlight
all that apply.
Specific Examples: Choose 3 examples of support from the list above and explain
in detail the differentiation.
Support #1: (Adjust Grouping Format) I will monitor how students are interacting
with one another during the opening activities. If certain groups of students are more
disruptive than others, I will move the groups around so that students will best be
able to learn and to discuss answers with each other since this will be a group
activity.
Support #2: (Give Additional Examples) To review the warm up I will be at the
board and if students do not understand the different terms I will give a few more
examples for them to practice on. Furthermore, if students are having difficult
incorporating algebra into their understanding of the terms supplementary,
complementary, and vertical angles, I will provide further examples on the board or
in their individual group. These examples will be similar to the problems they are
solving.
Support #3: (Alternate Response Format) Allow students the opportunity to write
down their answers as well as negotiate the various answers with their peers. And
then write down their findings.
Since students will be working in groups, they have a greater chance of getting off topic and
talking with their peers. I will be walking around the classroom monitoring their progress and
making sure students remain on task by verbally reminding them to stay on task as well as
pointing to their various sheets. I will also walk around with a marker to correct students work
and to reinforce positive behavior.
Materials: What are the materials that you will need to organize, prepare, and/or try-out
before teaching the lesson?
Follow-up: How will you and/or your Supervising Practitioner reinforce the learning at a later
time so that the students continue to work toward the lesson’s overarching goal (i.e., the MA
Curriculum Framework incorporating the Common Core State Standards)?
My S.P. will continue to reinforce this lesson the following lesson which teaches students
about transversals, and to learn transversals students must know what vertical, supplementary,
and complementary angles are so they will continue to practice and build upon these terms.
