Microteaching (with Leo and Ashley W.)

EDCP 342 Microteaching Lesson Plan

Course: Apprenticeship and Workplace 11	Subject: Geometry	Date: Wednesday November 1, 2017	Duration: 15 minutes
Lesson Overview	Students will learn about the different views of 3-D objects: side view, top view and front view. Students will translate the various views into 2-D nets, which can represent 3-D objects. Students will be able to transform these 2-D nets into physical 3-D objects, which distinguish different faces. Students will explore more complicated 3-D objects and their different views.
Class Profile	7-9 adults who could speak English at university academic level.
Big Idea(s)	Modeling and drawing 3-D objects and their views.

Curriculum Competencies and Content

Draw a 2-D representation of a given 3-D object. Draw, using isometric dot paper, a given 3-D object. Draw to scale top, front and side views of a given 3-D object. Construct a model of a 3-D object, given the top, front and side views. Draw a 3-D object, given the top, front and side views. Determine if given views of a 3-D object represent a given object, and explain the reasoning. Identify the point of perspective of a given one-point perspective drawing of a 3-D object. Draw a one-point perspective view of a given 3-D object.

Materials, Equipment and Resources Needed for this Lesson

Powerpoint on different views of 3-D objects Laptop, cords, projector Matching nets and 3-D objects flashcard game Handout of pre-cut nets Tape Coloured blocks and tiles

	Lesson Stages	Learning Activities	Assessment	Time Allotted
1.	Top View, Side View, Front View	Explain why we need different views of a 3D object and introduce the top, side and front views.	Ask students to describe the 3 views of a simple 3D object.	2 minutes
2.	2-D Nets to Drawn Images of 3-D Objects	Students will understand that the top view, side view, front view model translates to a 2-D net. Then students will take nets and try to match them with their corresponding 3-D shapes in a flashcard game.	Students play a game to see if they can match images of nets and 3-D objects.	5 minutes
3.	Nets and Building 3-D Objects	Explaining how we could “fold” the net into 3-D objects and how face could connect. A net of cube will be handed out for students to try on their own. We also do a small activity to build a small dice (and there are different number of dots on each face).	Ask students to try with the net and see the procedure of building a dice.	5 minutes
4.	Complicated 3-D Objects and their Corresponding Views	Describe a complicated object using the top, side and front views.	Give  a complicated 3D object and ask students to describe the 3 views using colourful tiles.	3 minutes
