SIOP® Lesson Plan Template 2

STANDARDS: CC.2.2.HS.D.2

THEME: Right Triangles

LESSON TOPIC: Sine Cosine and Tangent

OBJECTIVES:
Language:
Students will be able to write the formulas for soh cah toa

Content:
Students will be able to differentiate between the three formulas given a right triangle

LEARNING STRATEGIES: Hands On activites- let the students work socially

I will also do examples if they are visual learners
I will put up a jing for students
The use of whiteboards to get the students thinking

KEY VOCABULARY: Right triangle, adjacent, opposite, hypotenuse, reference angle

MATERIALS: notebooks, chalkboard, whiteboards

MOTIVATION:
(Building background)
Start with Pythagorean Theorm. Have the students solve for a side and then say now that you
know how to solve for a side, but this is how to solve for an side given an angle. This is relating
the material to the students prior knowledge about right triangles.

PRESENTATION:
(Language and content objectives, comprehensible input, strategies, interaction, feedback)
I will have the content and language objectives written on the board. I will begin with a do-now to
get the students engadged dealing with the Pythagerean Theorm. Then I will go over the key
vocabulary and have the students label a right triangle given a missing angle. I will tell the
students everytime they work with a right triangle they need to label where the hypotnuse,
opposite and adjacent sides are in order to include repetition. Then I will indroduce how to solve
for sides using the formulas for right triangles. I will pair the students using the Mix and Match
technique. This will be used by the Think-Pair-Share strategy. They will work on several problems
together and write their answers on their whiteboards. I will use questioning throughout the
entire lesson.

PRACTICE AND APPLICATION:

(Meaningful activities, interaction, strategies, practice and application, feedback)
The students will also be working in pairs on various problems and using the white board to give
their answers.The students will be using and applying the key vocabulary throughout the entire
lesson. The stduents will be interacting with me and eachother throughout the whole lesson. I will
be observing the students to make sure they are on task and are understanding the content.

(Review objectives and vocabulary, assess learning)
At the end of the lesson the students will have a math journal to complete which is very similar to
an exit slip. I will give each student ask the students to write the formulas for sin, cos, and tan of
a given angle. I will also give each student a word problem and have them complete it and hand it
in. This will help me understand if my instruction was helpful, and if I need to go over the
material again.

EXTENSION:
This lesson can be extended by going into more depth with all the vocabulary words. I can also
have the students work on more problems with one another in order for them to learn the
practice and strategies needed to solve for missing sides in right triangles.
