Lesson Objective(s) (Stated in observable and measurable terms) Students will be able to create a Flyer to depict the Sieve of Eratosthenes. Students will successfully create a Flyer with 80% compliance to the rubric. Assessment Plan (What will be done to determine if lesson objectives have been met?) Students will be use the rubric as a checklist for completion. Students will give peer reviews for other students Flyers. Students will be to upload their Flyer to the class web site. Materials: The students will need their books, folders, notebooks, pencils, Sieve of Eratosthenes Packet, Open Office software, and computer. Inclusion Techniques for Students with Special Needs: The lesson will initially be presented in the inclusion room with teacher modeling. Then all students will have hands-on in the computer room as well as the students with special needs will be able to use the resource room or attend the After Math tutoring sessions. Enrichment Techniques: The lesson will initially be presented in the inclusion math room. Then the students who need enrichment will be able to work more independently. Students may be required to complete the project for both the Sieve and a short biography on Eratosthenes.

Lesson Differentiation (What modifications/accommodations will be made to ensure that ALL students have access to and are able to participate in the lesson): Students will have access to their packet: the Sieve of Eratosthenes, the notes from the lecture, and their peers.

Students will have time in the resource room or after school computer sessions if needed. Students will have an opportunity to work with their peer tutors.

Lesson Presentation
Introduction/Motivational Activities/Anticipatory Set: Today we are going to use Photostory to illustrate the Ladder Method. We will use our knowledge of Prime Numbers to find the Least Common Multiple (LCM); the Greatest Common Factor (GCF); and to simplify fractions. Detailed Teaching Sequence: (Provide sufficient detail that would enable a substitute to effectively present this lesson. Bulleted statements are preferred)

Students will review the Sieve of Eratosthenes from their notes. Students will list the slides for their Flyer. Students will watch the teacher create a Flyer story board. Students will watch the teacher create a few of the components to her story board and add details. Teacher will show an example of a finished Flyer.

Guided Practice/Independent Practice/Assessment Activities

Closure:

Students will create a Flyer story board. Students will add all necessary text and graphics to each componet. Students will add color to each component. Students will ask at least three peers for constructive criticism. Students will upload their Flyer to the class web site.

Students will be able to use describe the steps they took to create their Flyer. Students will be to upload their Flyer to the class web site and access the Flyers of their peers.
