Direct Instruction Lesson Plan 1
Direct Instruction Lesson Plan 1
AZ State Standards:
Draw, construct, and describe geometrical figures, and describe the relationships between
them.
Learning Objective:
Students will be able to distinguish different types of triangles by drawing geometric shapes
to construct triangles from three measures of angles or sides.
Evidence of Mastery (Measurable):
.
¨ Determine the condition and degree, the setting or situation in which the student will be able to express the depth and extent
of learning?
Formative: Throughout the lesson, questions will be able to be asked by students so that I can then
answer by further explain and expanding on the ideas being taught. We will also have a class activity
where students will be able to come to the board and practice some problems where help form me and
classmates.
Key Academic Vocabulary: (Consider Bloom’s Materials Needed: Premade worksheet with
Verbs) problems (approximately 10 problems)
distinguish
construct Pencils/pens/colored pencils
Opening Activity
¨ Activate student interest and uncover prior knowledge
¨ Present the lesson objective in an engaging and student-friendly way
Will start out by engaging students into discussion of information that they had learned
in prior years. For example, in sixth grade, a geometry standard includes finding the area
of right triangles, and other triangles, so I could start conversation off by asking
students what triangles are, what types are there, how many angles do they have,
etcetera. I will be utilizing the whiteboard to write down brainstorm ideas and examples.

new information including: During this lecture it is expected for students to be actively
listening, taking notes, and asking questions when needed.
how to draw a triangle with three angle measures
explain that a triangle can only have 180 degrees total.
Show what conditions make a unique triangle
How to draw a triangle with sides given
There will be a small discussion over what we went over today and what we learned,
then students will take a quiz over the information
