LESSON PRESENTATION

INTO

Step-by-Step Anticipatory Set/Orientation

Briefly review quiz on volume of cylinders/ cone
Restate formulas with class multiple times
Real life examples of spheres

THROUGH

Step-by-Step Modeling/Presentation of the Objective

Write down title and objective
Make prediction about how many times the sphere fills the cylinder
Do demonstration
Present formula, and show how the formula for the volume of a
cylinder can also be 2/3 of that of a cylinder
Students repeat formula

Step-by-Step Guided/Structured Practice of the Objective: Gradual

Release of Instruction
Example 1: out of book (finding volume)
Example 2: out of book (finding radius)

Checking for Understanding/Formative Assessment of Each

Students Performance/Closure of Instruction
Guided practice 1: on your own (finding volume)
Guided practice 2: on your own (finding volume)

BEYOND

Independent Practice/Summative Assessment of Each Students

Performance
-Students work on sphere worksheet
-Restate objective and repeat formula
 -talk about how it is 2/3 the cylinder
Final Closure of Lesson: Closure question to reinforce instruction learned
