Previous Knowledge
Students have gained knowledge on how to construct parabolas. They have learned how to visualise
them and incorporate them into questions (Graphicacy). Students have also been shown how to add
dimensions and angles to questions using their equipment (Numeracy). Students have learned the
correct terminology used in association with parabolas and conic sections (Literacy).
Previous Skills
Students have picked up on previous skills such as sliding set squares, how to use a compass to its full
capability, how to use a protractor, how to bisect a line.
Teacher Observations
Class has a wide range of learning needs such as autism, ASD, dyslexia and dysgraphia. There is a high
differentiation between abilities within this group. There are a number of students who work very
fast and efficiently. There are also students who require additional guidance in the work.
2. LESSON RATIONALE
Brief outline of WHY this content is the basis of the lesson, and why these teaching KEY*
methodologies were selected- a justification.
In this class students will be constructing a parabola question to reinforce their learning on RL
the topic. They will be given a recap on prior knowledge they have learned on the topic to
refresh their minds before the question.

Q1. What went well in this lesson today, and why? (1 short paragraph or 3-4 bullets)
This class went well. Classroom management is improving a lot. Students understand what they
are doing. The students got the parabola question done which was quite challenging and some
students got the next question started and were to finish it for homework.
Q.2 What did not go as well as expected in this lesson today, and why? (1 short paragraph or 3-4
bullets)
Students struggled a bit with drawing the question. Some students were at different levels then
other students when we were supposed to be focusing on the parabola
Q. 3. What might I have done to improve the standard of this lesson? (1 short paragraph or 3-4
bullets)
To improve this lesson I would have drawn along with the students using the visualiser so the
students can follow along and not get confused because they weren’t paying attention.
Q. 4 What must I take note of from this lesson that I need to consider when planning the next
lesson? (1 short paragraph of 3-4 bullets)
Try drawing along with students as opposed to using animated PowerPoint as it shows the
students what equipment to use and when to use it.
