I designed an example lesson plan to describe how I intend to assist my students in their learning. ------ 1-hour Online Lesson Plan: Pythagoras' Theorem and Trigonometry Learning Objective for students: Introduction to Pythagoras' Theorem and basic trigonometric concepts Objective for myself: Build trust and confidence of students in my ability to assist them effectively. 1. 5-minute Introduction and Icebreaker a. Greet students – ensure students are aware that this is a positive and inclusive online learning environment. b. Start class with an icebreaker activity (math-related, e.g. what parallels can you draw between what you’ve learned in maths and what you experience in daily life?- encourages student engagement and interaction. 2. 50-minute Presentation and Explanation a. Using my online whiteboard or PowerPoint slides, I will introduce students to Pythagoras' Theorem and trigonometric concepts. b. Show Pythagoras' Theorem and explain its formula (i.e. a^2 + b^2 = c^2). Explain the importance of the relationship between the sides of a right-angled triangle (i.e. hypotenuse, adjacent, opposite). c. Introduce sine, cosine, and tangent, and explain their relationship to the sides of a right-angled triangle. d. Give them examples with step-by-step explanations of how to calculate missing lengths and angles using Pythagoras' Theorem and ratios. Ask students for their input and encourage them to participate in helping to answer problems. 3. 5-minute Trust-Building and Interaction a. Encourage students to ask questions so that they can seek clarification. Let them know that I am available for questions outside of class hours. b. Show students that I appreciate and value their participation and no question is silly to ask – that’s how we all learn and improve. 4. 5-minute Conclusion and Recap a. Summarise the key concepts b. Provide worksheets for them to attempt to solve until we meet again for the next class.
