Lesson Assessment Template
How did you implement your lesson plan?
We first went over how to draw the graphs of the second degree equations. I asked the students to slowly move the slider that belong to a in the equation f(x) =ax2 towards the right side on Geogebra. The students could see the image of the function at any point they wanted to see it. When the slider was moved towards the right side i.e. when the value of a increased, I asked the students to tell me what they could observe. I listened to their answers. Similarly, I asked the students what they could observe when the slider was moved to the left side. Everybody could come up with one common conclusion. We did these on the functions of f(x)= x2+b , f(x)=x2 +b , f(x)=-x2 +b , f(x)= (x+c)2 , f(x)=-(x+c)2 respectively by moving the sliders b and c.
Do you think you could integrate technology in class properly?
We had no difficulty at all.
Do you think your students accomplished the outcomes of the lesson?
Since everybody worked on the value they wanted in their function, they could observe the outcomes successfully. I think the class was useful for students.
What do your students think about the course?
They stated it was more fun than a traditional math class. They added they could comprehend the content better in this way.
What sort of changes could be made so that your method will work better?
If I had had a chance to implement the material when the students were first introduced the content, the students could have been more interested in it. Besides, since the program failed at some point, I had to complete three activities on one single page. It could have been better if they had been on different pages.
