ASSURE Model Lesson Plan

Your Name: Beatriz Rodriguez

Name of Lesson: Calculus: Standard 1: Limits and Continuity

A= Analyze your Learners

A As best you can tell, describe the learners for whom this lesson is intended.
Age? Page 1 of 6 Grade level? Reading ability? Previous knowledge? Special
needs? What else do you think you would need to know about them?
This lesson is intended for high school learners, mostly 11th and 12th grade. The
age can depend on how advance the student is in mathematics, anywhere from
16 to 18. The student must be able to read at grade level and make sense of
what he or she is reading, if needed, teacher will help understanding material.
The student must have previous mathematics knowledge such as the following
courses, Pre-Algebra, Algebra 1, Algebra 2, Geometry, and Pre-Calculus, in
order to excel in the subject. They need to be ready and willing to work and
dedicate time to homework and practice activities and problems.

 S = State your Objectives

S Carefully review the lesson plan. Identify the objectives. If the lesson plan has
learning objectives that do NOT meet the ABCD criteria, rewrite them. you.. You
should have at least 3 learning objectives that meet the ABCD formula.
Remember, think Action Verbs! NEVER NEVER NEVER use words like
“understand,” “know,” “realize,” etc. These are not things you can observe or
measure.

A=Audience; B=Behavior; C=Condition and D=Degree.

A- My learners are high schoolers mostly 11th and 12th grade.

B- I need to be able to see that my students can do basic mathematical
openrations and show knowledge in Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Trigonometry,
and Pre-Calculus.
C- The student will be learning in a classroom environment surrounded my his or
her peers. They will not only need to know basic mathematical skills, they also
need to have knowledge in Algebra 1 and 2, Geometry, Trigonometry, and Pre-
Calculus. Also they will need to have basic computer knowledge such as how to
navigate around a computer especially the web.
D- I want the student to master the course 100%, but 70% mastery or above ir
acceptable for the subject.

Another objective of the subject is teaching the first four standards for Calculus
at high school level. The Florida Department of Education Standards for Calculus
are, Stardard 1: Limits and Continuity, Stardard 2: Differential Calculus, Standard
3: Application of Derivatives, Standard 4: Integral Calculus.

For this particular lesson plan I will be covering Standard 1: Limits and
Continuity, Benchmarks: MA.912.C.1.1, MA.912.C.1.2, MA.912.C.1.3,
MA.912.C.1.4.

I will be measuring the mastery of my students through homework and quizzes. I

need 70% mastery or more for each student in order to move on to teaching the
next standard.

 S = Select Media and Materials

S In this section, make a list of what materials are needed for this lesson plan. If
they don't specify any technology, think of how you might do that! Try to think of
two different things you or your students could do with technology.. Maybe you
can find a good multimedia website to use in this lesson? How about using word
processing instead of writing? You might be able to use a spreadsheet or
PowerPoint? (Powerpoint gets old. Try to think of something else!)

The materials needed for this lesson plan is Calculus by James Stewart, 6th
Edition. I would like to pull activities from the web in order to help further master
the material. I would try to create PowerPoint quizzes to share with the entire
class to see if they can solve the problem given. Also find a group of websites
that would further aid them to master the course, to use this tool I would take
them to the school’s computer labs or share them with the class. I would try to
incorporate videos created by other educators or peers to help them see a
different perpective a different voice.

 U = Utilize Media and Materials

U How are the materials used by the teacher? By the student?

I will use the book in order to teach the lesson plan and a guide to help them
master the subject. I need to master the use of a computer in order to provide
them with PowerPoint quizzes, online activities and websites, as well as being
able to create quizzes using various programs. The student will use their book
for homework and as a source of information, anything I give them would be
extra aid materials such as websites for them to use for practice or information,
or videos that aid them in the mastery of the course so they see a different
perspective.

 R = Require Learner Participation

R Explain what the students are doing. How will they use technology in this lesson?

The students will be participating in in-class discussions and lessons. They will
also be doing their daily homework. They will be given activities both in-class and
to do on the computer. They will use different tools to aid their mastery such as
videos to get a different perspective and additional informational websites.

 E = Evaluate and Revise

E How do you assess student learning?

Evaluate: How will you evaluate the student’s progress? Look at your
objectives. If you said the student “will identify something with 90% accuracy,”
that’s how you should evaluate them. What will you do with the students who do
NOT meet the objective? Who cannot “identify something with 90% accuracy?”
I will evaluate their learning with a rubric on certain assignments and homework,
and quizzes. If the there are students who do not meet the 70% mastery of the
lesson then I as the teacher will hold after school help or work one on one with
them while others are doing activities or homework. Then I will test those
students again with a quiz to see how much they have improved.

Revise: Each time you use a lesson with your students, it's an excellent idea to
write yourself notes, so that you can revise the lesson if needed.
In order to revise my lesson I can get my students involved and come up with a
survey after each lesson and ask questions such as, what materials helped
most? What can I as the teacher do to improve? What activities did you like or
halped you the most if any? And, what should they think should be incorporated
in the lesson?
