Problem-based lesson in geometry for high school: Deeper Thinking and Learning Domain Knowledge. Is student work deeply rooted in discipline-specific and -relevant knowledge, skills, and dispositions? Yes / No / Somewhat Deeper Learning. If yes, is student work focused around big, important themes and concepts that are central to the discipline rather than isolated topics, trivia, or minutiae? Yes / No / Somewhat Critical Thinking. Do learning activities and assessments allow students to engage in deep critical thinking and analysis? Yes / No / Somewhat Problem Solving. Do learning activities and assessments allow students to engage in complex and messy (not simple) problem solving? Yes / No / Somewhat Creativity. Do students have the opportunity to design, create, make, or otherwise add value that is unique to them? Yes / No / Somewhat Metacognition. Do students have the opportunity to reflect on their planning, thinking, work, and/or progress? Yes / No / Somewhat If yes, can students identify what they’re learning, not just what they’re doing? Yes / No / Somewhat Assessment Alignment. Are all assessments aligned cognitively with standards, learning goals, instruction, and learning activities? Yes / No / Somewhat
This three-lesson plan on geometry for grade 11 aims to cultivate students' problem-solving, critical thinking, and creativity through engaging, discipline-specific activities. Emphasizing core geometric concepts and applying them to real-world problems, students develop deeper learning skills, metacognitive awareness, and the ability to engage with complex problem-solving scenarios. Each lesson is carefully aligned with cognitive standards and encourages the application of different mathematical dispositions.
