Math Concept: Conducting an eye test using estimation techniques. KUSD Standards: Standard A, representation, reasoning, and problem solving. Materials: paper with a whole for the eye test, paper to graph, Promethean board. Pre activities: Warm up with math boxes on promethean board. Introduction: She basically only explained the mini project. She did not have any hook for the students to grasp, she just gave the directions. However, the project it self was fun and interesting. Independent work: They had to create a bar graph with the data they collected form the entire class on which eye is dominant. Concluding activity: They worked till they had to leave and then were sent home to finish their graph. Assessment: The bar graph is correct, it is neat, and the data is placed correctly. Adaptation: The whole in the paper was too small at first so she had to create a bigger one. The whole was to help determine which eye is dominant. Ideas: Using the promethean board and hands on activities for math.
