    The document outlines a 2-week lesson plan on the Pythagorean theorem for 8th grade students. It includes a pre-assessment quiz, instructional days alternating with practice days, and a post-assessment quiz. The mid-instruction assessment involves students working in groups on whiteboards to solve example questions from the prior instruction, with one group explaining their work to the class each time. This allows students to practice with peers and receive feedback throughout the unit.

    Part 1: Unit of Instruction

    My 2 week lesson plan is centered around the pythagorean theorem. The Colorado
    Academic Standard used is “8.G.B. Geometry: Understand and apply the Pythagorean
    Theorem.” All eighth grade students will be able to identify the pythagorean theorem, explain a
    proof of the pythagorean theorem and its converse, apply the pythagorean theorem to determine
    unknown lengths of right triangles, identify right triangles, and find distances between two points
    in coordinate planes.
    The lesson plan includes a pre-assessment on the first day, where I will quiz students on
    their ability to find perimeters and areas of various shapes, including a right triangle with one
    missing side at the very end. This question will not count in the gradebook, but will be used to
    evaluate understanding and/or background knowledge of the pythagorean theorem. Since it will
    be a new concept to most students, I will use this to decipher who may need more challenges
    during the week.
    The next step in my lesson plan is a layered instructional style with alternating
    informative and practice days. This includes a background of the pythagorean theorem where we
    will work through the way it was discovered, including proofs, using the pythagorean theorem to
    find the unknown hypotenuse, sides, perimeters and areas, and discover triples. Each day in
    between two instructional days will be practice days where students will be able to work through
    problems in a fun and interactive way. The last day of my lesson plan will be a quiz that includes
    a couple problems in each category listed above. This will be a summative assessment to learn
    their overall understanding of the pythagorean theorem.

    Part 2: Pre and Post Assessment Instruments

    This assessment should be a selected-response assessment instrument. The intent here is


    to prepare you for the assessment process that you will be developing during the ARP in student
    teaching. The rubric used previously for the selected-response assignment will be used to
    evaluate this instrument.

    2. X = 15 (4 points)

    5. Key words: “a pythagorean triple is” (1 point), “a set of 3 numbers” (1 point), “that are
    able to describe the three sides of a right triangle” (3 points)

    Part 3: Mid-Instruction Assessment

    The mid-instruction assessment for this lesson plan is an informal assessment in the form
    of white board work during alloted practice days. Here, I will have students work through
    example questions in groups on whiteboards throughout the room. I will randomly pick one
    group after about 10 minutes to explain their work audibly to the rest of the class. I will keep
    note of which students within the group speak out loud, and the level of success they had in
    explaining their thought process to the rest of the class. Students will be graded partially on
    participation and partially on level of success in their explanations.
    This informal mid-instruction assessment will be done on all practice days, accumulating
    to 3 total times throughout the unit. This means that these assessments will be specific to the
    instruction from the day prior. The first practice day will focus on finding perimeters using the
    pythagorean theorem by finding unknown hypotenuse lengths and side lengths. The next practice
    day will focus on applying the pythagorean theorem in the context of right triangles. Finally, the
    third practice day will focus on using the pythagorean theorem to make triples.
    My intention is to help my students by allowing them to practice the types of questions
    that will appear in their post-assessment throughout the week with their classmates. The group
    dynamic ensures that students will not get left behind by hearing multiple perspectives on the
    problems from their classmates, while challenging students that are ahead to be able to explain
    their thought processes. I can use the results from these mid-instruction assessments to find
    points of instruction that I may need to reteach as well.
