Math Concept: collecting data, graphing, and converting fractions to decimals to percents KUSD standards: higher order thinking through relating mathematical examples to real life Materials: Students- Promethean board, pointer Teacher- Flip video recording camera, digital camera Pre-lesson: none Group Work: Pairs of students presented their Recycling Flip Chart projects. The teacher recorded them presenting and took a picture of each group. Concluding activity: When everyone had finished presenting the teacher showed the students the video that she recorded of them to help them see how they could improve their presenting skills. Assessment: The teacher watched their presentation, took down notes, and followed a rubric that she gave them before starting the project. Adaptation of instruction: She had to point out to a few of the pairs that they were not being loud enough and were not facing the audience. Ideas I would like to try in my classroom: I loved that she recorded their presentations because it documented their work and incorporated technology into their assessment of their own work. Now, they can view the video and see where they could have improved on their work.
