Introduction
Jeopardy game:
-students will need a whiteboard and marker (The quicker you
can get them and be quietly waiting to start, the better. We
only have so much time for games)
-Start with instructions
1. I will read out the question, and no one can put up their
boards until I have finished reading.
2. You will have one chance to show me the correct answer.
They need to be BIG and neat on the boards so I can see them
from the front.
3. Once I have checked your board, put it down and do not
show anyone
4. You will keep track of your own score, and I will deduct points
for talking.
5. The first person to answer correctly can pick then next
question.

Transition: Make sure boards are away neatly (give one minute,
and then I will start keeping you in) I will not start until
everyone is ready to go, so dont be the last one!
There are three things to do today
-Summative 1.1
-Summative 1.2
5min
-Tessellations
Show some examples of tessellations on the board, and the one
that I made.
-Example of how to make one (with squares and a template)
31min
-Materials (Iff you are done the worksheets, you may grab a
piece of paper from the front. There are scissors and tape to
borrow if you need)
This will be student work time. There will be no talking because
people are working on summative assignments.

Reflections from the lesson

The lesson when very well. The students were all excited to play a game, and were very willing
participants in class. Setting the expectations worked great, and in terms of class management, I had
to deduct points from some students for shouting out answers. The class quickly learned from this
display, and I had no farther problems.
The one thing that was off was my timing allotted for the jeopardy activity. We ended up spending
closer to 25 minutes playing this game, and while that was not in the plan, it proved to be a valuable
review for the students, as well as giving me an idea of material that the whole class was struggling
with, as well as individual students.
I love having in whiteboards as students can use them to work out equations, and to write down their
answers. It is a low risk medium for students as they can quickly erase an incorrect answer, leaving
no trace of it, and try again.
