iPads in the Classroom – Assessments and the State Standards

1. Provide a lesson plan for an upcoming lesson or unit that includes assessment with an iPad app. Include screenshots of your grading process and a short reflection about how the app has facilitated student assessment (or not).

Title: Complementary and Supplementary Angles Unit of Study: Geometry Grade: 7 Standard: CCSS.MATH.CONTENT.7.G.B.5 Use facts about supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles in a multi-step problem to write and solve simple equations for an unknown angle in a figure. Objectives: Students will be introduced to the geometry terms complementary and supplementary angles. Using the iPad app Meters, students will learn to identify complementary and supplementary angles. Using the Mathletics app, students will deepen their understanding of these terms through practice. Using the iMovie app students will create a collaborative video to demonstrate their understanding of complementary and supplementary angles in the real world. Materials: iPad, Internet access, Apple TV and classroom television Develop Prior Knowledge: The teacher will develop prior knowledge by taking students on an in-school field trip to discuss geometric shapes, angles and their application in the real-world. Guided Instruction: The teacher will demonstrate how to use the angle meter app on the iPad to identify complementary and supplementary angles. Independent Practice: Using the Mathletics app, students will deepen their understanding of these terms through practice for 15 minutes. Students will then use the Meters app on their iPads to complete the three comprehension questions on the Mathletics complementary and supplementary worksheet. Collaborative Group Project: Students will gather into groups of four to capture videos of real-world complementary and supplementary angles on the school campus. Students will add narrative descriptions to the video as they record in real time. Students will utilize the iMovie app to edit the video. Students will save the video on Google Drive and then upload the finished product to Google Classroom. Assessment:

1. Using the Meters app, students will complete the Mathletics app complementary and supplementary angle worksheet.

2. Teacher will correct and provide feedback on the completed worksheet to ensure student learning has been achieved.

3. Teacher will then project student uploaded collaborative projects on the classroom television. Using constructive comments, students will collaborate and critique each other’s video postings on Google Classroom.

4. The teacher will monitor and review student feedback and presentations. Reflection: A snapshot of the Mathletics app worksheet and Google Classroom app postings has been inserted below. Using the apps on student 1:1 iPads makes assessing student knowledge much easier. It frees me to move about the room and provide individual feedback as well as re-teaching opportunities as needed. I also love having the Google Classroom and Google Drive apps directly on their iPads. Students are able to quickly create, upload, review and post feedback. Our class time together has become much more efficient and organized.

Complementary, Supplementary or Neither

Description In this activity students are given two angles and are asked whether these angles are complementary, supplementary or neither. Teaching Hints Remind students of the meaning of complementary and supplementary angles. Use the animation to demonstrate to students how determine whether the given angles are complementary, supplementary or neither.
