For my technology infused lesson, I am going to teach a three day lesson about solving systems of linear equations. This will be done in an 11th grade classroom where I have Nooks (knock off iPads) at my disposal.
On the first day I want to show students one of the three methods out there for solving systems of linear equations (SOLE). That first method is using graphs. I am going to have the students get the Nooks out and go to student.desmos.com where I will have created a Desmos activity for them. Desmos is like a giant calculator but it allows for much easier manipulation of lines versus using a calculator. The activity I create can have problems based on solving SOLEs and using the graphs to help you find the solution.
On the second day I will shows students the other two methods which are the elimination and substitution method. Again the Nooks are coming out. The students will use them to complete a "quiz" on socrative.com. This website allows me to see exactly which students are struggling with exactly which problem. If there is a question the entire class is not understanding, I will be able to know.
The third day is a quick review using kahoot followed by a short quiz on the 3 methods of solving SOLEs.
My formative assessment will be done simply by walking around the room and helping students as they need help. Also, both Socrative and Desmos have teacher views that allow you to monitor the students progress. I will know which students are struggling with each problem. The summative assessment is the quiz on the third day.
Very good and I hope you can implement in in the classroom.
