LESSON PLAN EXAMPLES:
|
Welcome to my lesson plan page. Below is highlighting some lessons that I either created, or modified from existing content. I will always do my best to give appropriate credit and cite sources. Please contact me if you have better information on original sources so that I can update my page accordingly.
These lessons were made for a classroom with 1-1 computer access and are embedded into larger units. They may not cover all content needed to complete the lesson and are assuming some background knowledge for students and facilitator. |
Parabolic FitThis is an exploration of quadratic structure using Desmos. Desmos is a free graphing utility that supports student understanding nicely for this lesson. Through this lesson students begin to understand the vertex and standard forms of a second degree polynomial.

Lunar EclipseStudents use similar triangles and/or trigonometry to calculate the distance to the moon by observing a lunar eclipse. This is similar to how some of the first calculations for the Earth-Moon distance were calculated.

Counting ZombiesThis lesson is a reworked example from the Shell Center Team, originally titled "Counting Trees." Here I simply reinterpreted a fun estimation problem to make it more relevant to High School students.
