private universe video-2: Are You Convinced?

This videop showed the same struggle to solve a problem by a teacher or a student. In this video the teachers went throw the same problem in order to find the solution, the pattern. Even though both teachers and students had the same thinking process when they tried to solve the problem but they they used different stategies such as drawing the tower, patterns. I realized that some teachers had also same difficulty to justify their answer or verbalize their method. As student advances in grades it becomes more familiar for them to listen and respond the teacher individually. At the end the students wereable to see the problem in the tower concept and able to see a pattern with in their two partners. All students shared how they solve problem by discussing their strategies. In conclution the student established that coming up with a pattern would be the best strategies to to solve a problem with 4,5, and 10 towers.

Private Universe Video-3:Inventing Notations

This Video Shows that students got oppourtunites to share their ideas between the groups. I think this is one of the best way to learn from each other. When one group seemed to get frustated in short amount of time because of the difficulties then other group came out with different strategies to solve the problem. This whole process made the group of students engaged, energized. By allowing all students to discuss about the problem the students were able to see the problem and they tried to get the correct answers and also tried to satisfy every single person. The positive thing that the students got the idea is that without helping each one no problem couldn't be solved. This was a very good understanding that a good solution is possible by satisfying every single person who was involve in the process of solving the problem. Otherwise who wouldn't satisfy he wouldmight have the right answer. This was very unique way to solve a problem. The important observation is that little kids showed their attitude towards solving a problem.They also show their interest and sincerity by coming back to work as soon as lunch was finished. It is very challanging in today's class room lesson where student are taught a very formative way where flexibility doesn't exists. But this video shows how flexibility works out where students came out with different ideas and then came out with an unique solutions. Later a student came out a solution by using binary code whichone was very impressed. He was asked how he got the idea. He told that it just pupped out in his headThis shows students work in a group with flexibilty they could come out with an idea like mathematician.

Lesson Plan(Capturing the Flags):Cuisenaire Rods

I found this lesson is interesting for fifth to sixth grade. This lesson plan is taken from the CD. Capturing the Flag is interesting because in order to do this activity students need to the rods and their relationship between each other. In addition student need to know the numerical value of each rod. Student also need to know time table in order to calculate the values of rods to cover the flag. Students can easily learn about the fractions by placing the different rods in the flag. Finally student able to learn the strategic thinking because in order to finish the game they need to know how to start, where to start, and how to avoid the ending turn in order to win or loos the game. This lesson could be reversable if first round winner would be the last one who finished covering the flag the next round will be opposite is that the winner would be who didn't have to finish covering the flag.

lesson plan(making triangle): using cuisenaire rods

My lesson plan is to make triangle by using cuisenaire rods that is taken from the CD.In this lesson the students will find out to make different triangle by using differents rods. Students need to specify how to connect the edges of the rods. the special technique is that the two rods can be pushed down or lie down but can not be overlapped. Students need to find out any three rods is aable to construct a trangle? what is the reason for possible answre? student need to make a list of the combinations of rods that make triangle and other combination that don't make triangle. students need to explore of the properties of triangle like the lengths of two sides of a triangle are greater than the third side. students will ask to findout equuilateral triangle(all sides are equal), isosceles triangle(two sides are equal), scalene triangle(no sides are equal). finally student will ask to find any pattern is present in this process there.

NLVM-Geoboard for 6-8 grade to illustrate area, perimeter

I found this manipulative practice is a fun way of learning to illustrate different kind of polygon and measuring their area and perimeter. student can findout one polygon in different size and can measure its area and perimeter and also able to findout the possible maximum area and perimeter. student also can able to findout the relationship between the area of triangle and rectangle. student shouldn't limit their talents they can able to illustrate different kind of open and closed polygon. This lesson will help student to explore their geometric knowledge of polygon by themselves very fun way.

Area of Rectangle and Square.

Mohammed Uddin
Grde-4
Mathematics


NJCCCS: 4.2E1
OBJECTIVE:
SWBAT understanding the area of rectangle and square.

Pre- Discussion and Activity:
# Discuss about rectangle and squae and the area.
# Explain how to use geoboard and rubberband to make rectangle/square
# Explain how to draw model of rectangle and square on geo dot paper
# Mention the student about the distance between two pegs is one square unit.
# Measuring Area: Space to be measured in the center of a geoboard for an object two ways:
WAY-1: we can draw a model of rectangle or a square on geodot paper and count on squares.
Way-2: we can use the formulla of area= length*weidth

Materials:Geo Boards, Rubber bands, Geo dot Papers. Pencils.

Assesments:
- what is the area of square and rectangle and there is any differenc

Homework-
- Draw different sizes Rectangles and Square and find areas by using geo boards

Lesson Plan/Geometry(Polygons and its different shapes)

Mohammed Uddin
Grade-5
Mathematics

Objective:
SWBAT understanding the polygon and its different shapes, name it, learning angles and parallel lines.

Activity and Discussions:
# Before go to details operative activities explain students about polygon, its shape(closed/open), the lists of polygon(like different kind of triangle, rectangle, pentagon, hexagon etc.)
#Explain different angles, parallel lines.

# Expalin how to use Geoboard with rubberbands .

#Let Student create different Triangles-
Right angle, acute angle, obtuse angle

Different types of Quadilaterals-
Rectangle, Square, rumbas, Trapezoid

Other Polygons-
Pentagon, Hexagon so on.

Materials:
Geo Boards, Rubber Bands, Geodot Papers, Pencils

Assesments:
- Ask Questions about different angles, shape, and parallel line.
- In Which description the shapes are congurent?
- In Which shape two pairs parallel lines but not right angle?
- In Which shape has two pairs parallel line and right angle?
- In Which shape has only one pair parallel lines?
Homework:
- Draw different shape of polygons with their name on.
