Inquiry Lesson
Topic: Describing a Circle
Grade Level: 6th-8th Grade
Curriculum Standard: Standard: Students will develop the ability
to pose and solve mathematical problems by asking questions to discover
that a description that sounds like it should be about something else is
a circle. (NJCCS 4.1)
Introduction:
In this lesson students must listen to a description of
something and ask the teacher questions with a yes or no answer to find
out more about the thing that is being described. The teacher will keep
track of the questions with both yes and no answers in a t-chart on an
overhead, so students can see all the information that is true and false
throughout the entire exercise. When the students have gathered enough
information through their investigation.
Description:
Many things have been made in my likeness. I have a perfect
relationship with others who are similar to me. I have no beginning and
no end. Who am I?
Useful Student Questions:
- Does it have to do
with math?
- Do we often encounter
things made in its likeness?
- Is it a person
- Is it something we see
everyday?
- Does it have to do
with geometry?
- Is it a shape?
- Does it have angles?
Teacher will record the statements the students discover are true or
false on a T-chart on an overhead to help students keep track of their
clues.
