Planning Assessment, Lesson 2

Planning Assessment: Embed or link to your assessment tools and describe how you will demonstrate

• the performance of linked goals and/or objectives
• student engagement in higher order thinking
• meeting individual student needs

This lesson only uses informal assessment that will not be taken for a grade. The teacher will assess while the class is working on finishing their worksheet/drawing the final two circles. He/she should check to see if each student is able to draw a circle with a compass. He/she should also ask each student to explain the following vocabulary in relation to the activity:

• Circumference
• Diameter
• Radius
• Pi

The teacher will also use quick checks for understanding throughout the lesson.

Goals and Objectives

The objectives are:

• Students will be able to use a compass to draw a circle.
• Students will be able to explain the words "circumference," "diameter," "radius," and "pi", in relation to a circle and its measurements.

The assessment directly addresses these objectives.

Higher Order Thinking Skills

This lesson only addresses medium-order thinking skills. This activity addresses "apply" on Bloom's taxonomy. 

Meeting Individual Needs

This lesson attempts to target visual, auditory and kinesthetic learners to allow each student to learn in a way comfortable to them. The informal one-on-one assessment also allows the teacher to address individual needs at that time.
