I WILL apply my knowledge and solve the EQAO multiple choice questions
ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES:
Formative (as) assessment for each student as I collect their student answer sheet for the
multiple choice EQAO questions and mark them. I will give the answers back to them
marked so they can see how well they performed and I will have an idea as well
Diagnostic (for) assessment to determine where students feel they are still struggling and
need help through a self-assessment
LESSON OUTLINE:
INTRO
1. Warm-up question that is a composite 3D shape of an Exploratorium for science
BODY
2. Students will be participating in a I haveWho has cooperative activity. The
game works by giving out to groups of students cards that have an I have(answer) and
a Who has(question)
3. This activity works by the teacher reading a Who has part of one of the cards. The
students must listen, working on their auditory skills, to solve the question that is asked
4. The group who has the answer in the I have section will yell out the answer and then
read the Who has section on their card, working on their oral communication skills
5. The game is over when all the cards have been answered or the class gets bored
6. Next, hand out to students some multiple choice EQAO questions with an answer sheet
they need to fill. This will provide students with practice and get them accustomed to
how they need to complete the EQAO test
CONCLUSION
7. When the EQAO is handed in, give the student a Self-Assessment checklist of all the
items they learned this unit. The idea is for the students to check off if they know the
material, need help, or have no idea for ideas of questions to ask in review period
8. If still time, have students work on questions that have been assigned already

MAIN IDEA OF LESSON


In this lesson, students will be practising their acquired knowledge in the unit in order to solve
an EQAO short answer question to help them prepare for EQAO which they need to write this
year. Then students will have time to work on problems and ask questions
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
Solve problems involving the measurements of two-dimensional shapes and the surface
areas and volumes of three-dimensional shapes
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS:
I.
Solve problems involving surface area and volumes of prisms, pyramids, cylinders,
cones, and spheres, including composite figures
LEARNING GOALS:
I WILL apply all my knowledge to solving problems that I was taught this unit
I WILL apply my knowledge and solve the EQAO short answer question to the best of
my ability
ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES:
Formative (for) assessment for each student as to their engagement in the take up of the
short answer EQAO questions and the rest of the lesson, using anecdotal observation
Formative (as) assessment for each student as I collect their work on the short answer
EQAO question and mark them. I will give the answer back to them marked so they can
see how well they performed and I will have an idea as well
LESSON OUTLINE:
INTRO
1. Hand back to students their multiple choice answer sheet marked
2. As a class take up the questions so that the students have all the answers
BODY
3. Hand out to students the short answer EQAO question. This will provide students with
practice and get them accustomed to how they need to complete the EQAO test
CONCLUSION
4. When the EQAO is handed in, assign to students the review work to help them prepare
for the unit test, so assign Pg. 484 #1, 2, 5, 7, 9-11, 14-21, 23-25
5. Just before the end of the class tell the students a little story to get them to listen and
think about an interesting problem, Three friends go to a restaurant and the bill comes
out to $30. They each pay $10. The manager reviews the bill and tells the waiter that
they were charged $5 too much. So the bill was actually $25, so the waiter needs to
give $5 back to them. The waiter says to himself, these people think the meal cost them
$30 so why not take some for himself. The waiter takes $2 and then gives each person
$1 back. Therefore, they have each paid $9 for their meal (since they originally paid
$10 and got a dollar back). So 9x3=27 and the waiter kept $2 for himself, so 27+2=29.
So where did the extra $1 go?

Measurement and Geometry

DATE:

MAIN IDEA OF LESSON


In this lesson, students will have a work period to practice and ask questions pertaining to
what was taught in this unit, as they have their unit test tomorrow. First, the EQAO short
answer will be taken up as a class and a review Jeopardy game will be played
OVERALL EXPECTATIONS
Determine, through investigation, the optimal values of various measurement
Solve problems involving the measurements of two-dimensional shapes and the surface
areas and volumes of three-dimensional shapes
SPECIFIC EXPECTATIONS:
I.
Pose and solve problems involving the maximization of measurements of geometric
shapes and figures.
II.
Solve problems using the Pythagorean theorem, as required in applications.
III.
Solve problems involving the areas and perimeters of composite two-dimensional
shapes
IV.
Solve problems involving surface area and volumes of prisms, pyramids, cylinders,
cones, and spheres, including composite figures
LEARNING GOALS:
I WILL apply all my knowledge to solving problems that I was taught this unit
ASSESSMENT STRATEGIES:
Formative (for) assessment for each student as to their engagement in doing the seatwork
and Jeopardy game, using anecdotal observations
LESSON OUTLINE:
INTRO
1. Hand back to students their short answer EQAO question marked
2. Take up the question with the EQAO marking scheme so the students have the answer
BODY
3. Split the class into two teams. Play Jeopardy with the class on the smartboard with
questions that would help them review for the test, which are ones that students feel
they struggle with the most, based on their self-assessment
4. Keep score so that there is a winning team, since students love friendly competition
CONCLUSION
5. Let students have the rest of the class to do the review work from the textbook assigned
yesterday, while asking you for help, which was Pg. 484 #1, 2, 5, 7, 9-11, 14-21, 23-25
