Grade: 10 Subject/Content: Secondary Math II - Circles Title: 5.7Contructions
CONTEXTUAL FACTORS (e.g. ethnicity, gender, exceptionalities, ELL, GATE, etc.) which need
differentiation in instruction and assessment.

0 students have IEPs

26 White, 2 Hispanic/Latino, 1 Asian, 3 Pacific Islander
20 Males and 12 Females
1 disruptive student

WALK-AWAY (what do I want students to know, understand, and be able to do?)

Content Walk-Away:

Students will be able to construct the centroid, incenter, and circumcenter to any triangle
SWBAT construct the circumscribed and inscribed circle of any triangle
SWBAT construct a tangent line to a circle from any point outside the circle

Reading/Language Walk-Away:

Students will learn vocabulary relevant to lesson

ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE (formative/summative checks for

learning) (Match the Content Walk-Away)

In class participation
Informal assessment: making sure the students take complete
notes
Worksheet: 5.7

Modifications/Accommodations

(ELL, IEP, GATE, etc.)

Extended time for those who

need it
In class assistance on
homework questions

ACTIVE LEARNING PLAN

Modifications/
Accommodations
(ELL, IEP, GATE, etc.)

Activate Prior Knowledge/Experiences

Bellwork: Find the point that partitions the line into a 3:1 ratio
Review Worksheet 5-6 Homework

Focus Lesson (I do it)

Define perpendicular bisector and show students how to construct one

Define circumcenter, show students how to construct one, and show
students how to use it to construct the circumscribed circle
Define angle bisector and show students how to construct one
Define incenter, show students how to construct one, and show students
how to use it to draw the inscribed circle
Define median and show students how to construct one
Define centroid and show students how to construct one
Show students how to use perpendicular bisectors to construct a line
tangent to a circle through a given point

Guided Instruction (We do it)

Collaborative/Cooperative (You do it together)
Independent (You do it alone)

Students will construct a perpendicular bisector

Students will construct the circumcenter of a triangle
Students will construct the circumscribed circle of a triangle
Students will bisect an angle
Students will construct the incenter of a triangle
Students will construct the inscribed circle of a triangle
Students will construct the median of a triangle
Students will construct a line tangent to a circle through a given point

Summarization/Closure

Review main points we learned

NOTES TO TEACHER

Walk around the class

while students are working
doing constructions to
provide intervention where
needed.

Focus on disruptive student

with proximity and
pressuring him to work
with his peers and stay on
topic.

What do I need to remember to do?

Create PowerPoint/Smart Board presentation for students to interact with
Materials to have ready?
Copy of worksheets for students
Whiteboard straight edge and compass
Approximate time needed for lesson?
Lesson will take about 80 minutes
