 * Lesson Title: Real Life Geometry |||| Related Lessons: Defining Geometric Properties ||
 * Grade Level: Third Grade |||| Unit: Geometry ||
 * ** GOALS ** ||
 * Content Standards:M3G1: Students will further develop their understanding of geometric figures. ||
 * ISTE NETS-S
 * Instructional Objective(s): Students will use Microsoft Word to create a tree map (concept map) including the characteristics and properties of each shape. ||
 * ** ACTIONS ** ||
 * Before-Class Preparation: Reserve the computer lab. Create a tree map template and put it on the P: Drive in the Edenfield Folder. Create a list of safe web sites the students may use to create their map. ||
 * During Class (2 DayLesson) ||
 * Time |||| Instructional Activities || Materials and Resources ||
 * 5 -10 minutes |||| Students will locate the Edenfield folder on the P: Drive on the school server. The students will open the folder and rename the file as their own name. This will allow students to save their own work in a place easily accessible to the teacher. || Computer LabRubric for Activity ||
 * 10 minutes |||| Teacher will show the “All About Shapes” Power point to review the 2 dimensional figures that were discussed in class. Students will complete a circle map of the shapes that are reviewed in the PPT. || Computer21st Century Equipment“All About Shapes” PPT ||
 * 5 minutes |||| Teacher will explain that the students will practice the skills of copying and pasting clip art into a word document to demonstrate their knowledge of 2 dimensional figures. The students will also add text to a table to identify the characteristics of 5 figures of their own choice. || Safe clip art website folderTree map templateExemplar for EIP class ||
 * 5- 10 minutes |||| Teacher will model how the students will copy and paste images from websites to the tree map. The teacher will also instruct students how to add text to identify the characteristics and properties of each figure added to the concept map. 5 figures should be included on the tree map. || Safe clip art website folderTree map templateExemplar for EIP class ||
 * 30-40 minutes |||| Students will browse the provided web sites to paste figures into their tree map and will add the text identifying characteristics and properties of each figure. || Safe clip art website folderTree map template ||
 * Notes: Students will work independently asking questions for clarification when needed. ||
 * ** MONITOR ** ||
 * Ongoing Assessment(s): Check for understanding by moving around the lab observing what the students are working on. Accommodations and Extensions: For EIP and Sp.Ed. students support staff will assist them in the technical aspect of the assignment. Students must identify the figure and the types of angles in each.

For Gifted students, the shapes chosen must be irregular in nature, regular shapes will not be accepted. Also the shapes must be items that are found in "real life" and must have a common theme. Back-up Plan: If the lab is not functioning this assignment could be completed using paper and magazine pictures.

Teacher I'm Done- Students will choose to work on Studyisland.com or Accelerated Math when they finish thier assignment ||
 * ** EVALUATION ** ||
 * Lesson Reflections and Notes: This plan can be extended by having the students create riddles with the properties and characteristics of various geometric figures. ||
