Arithmetic Progression - Lesson 5

Project Plan – Lesson 5

The Do Phase

(5.1) Project Launch:     
Goal :              Learning mathematics  with fun.
Expectation: To make a pattern using Arithematic Progression.
Rules:             Pattern should have an  Arithematic Progression.
Assessment: Assessment will be done on the basis of the presentation and explaination of the concept.
Grading:         According to the rubrics of assessment.

(5.2) Artifacts:
               
Each presentation will be  a piece of  a Artifact.

(5.3) Culminating product:
               
Each presentation will be a pattern/ design made in an chart paper. Each  pattern will  have an attachment of the concept used.

(5.4) Celebrating completion:
              
Students will celebrate completion by handing over their presentation to teacher concerned and listening to the remarks of teacher and the class mates.

Arithmetic Progression - Lesson 2

Lesson 2
2.1 Essential Question:
            
Does pattern involving  Arithemetic  progression  looks beautiful  ?

2.2 Grouping Strategy:
           
Team will comprise of3 students of mixed gender, mixed ability and skills.This will promote teamwork,peer group  learning and low achievers will get the benefit of advanced collaboration of high achievers.

Arrangement of tables was made for each group to interact among themselves. Computer lab will be used for the majority of online work. Students collaborate among themselves through email and watsup.

2.4Assessment Approach:
               
                2.41 Authentic Assessment:
Explaining how the pattern forms an AP.
Noting the AP formed in the pattern 
           
2.42 Formative Assessment:
           
Regular feedback will be provided as the students work on survey and presentation of design/patterns.

2.43 Summative Assessment:
Assessment will be conducted on :
Presentation of design/pattern
Doing Art work to make it attractive.



2.44 Rubrics:
Rubrics will be used to assess :
Survey
Pattern selected
Presentation
Explaination   

2.45 Gradings:
Project grades will be based on a combination of scores from assessment made during the project. A rubric will be used to compute grades.
