3 PART MATH LESSON - ANTICIPATED STUDENT RESPONSE - PART 1

Lesson/Unit of Study Title What can I add to the playground?	Grade 5	Assessment FOR Learning Observation & Interview	Date
Mathematics Lesson Task/Problem Students will work in pairs and apply problem-solving strategies to help further their mathematical understanding of estimating, measuring, recording perimeter and area. Students will identify and describe various items and their measurements as well explain how to ensure that new items will fit onto the reconstructed playground area		Learning Goal/Curriculum Expectations Measurement Relationships select and justify the most appropriate standard of unit (i.e., millimeter, centimeter, decimeter, meter, kilometer) ·         measure length, height, width and distance and to measure the perimeter ·         solve problems requiring conversion from centimeters to meters and from  kilometers to meters
Anticipated Student Response # 1 This would be a below average response. The student didn’t use a variety of different shapes to reflect the restructured playground. The student used an irregular shape and a rectangle. The instructions were to also include circles and triangles as well. The structures included; a Soccer field with the dimensions of 8m x 4m x 12m x 16 m, a tennis Court (6m x 10m), and Basketball courts that was 8 m x 5 m. The student also didn’t maximize the entire playground with the shapes created. They could have added a park bench with water fountain or a set of monkey bars with a swing and a sandbox and this would have added a circular shape to the playground. There is a great deal of unused space that could have been used much more effectively. (see attached playground drawing) Anticipated Student Response #2 This was a very good response. The student utilized a variety of different shapes in their playground. The shapes of their structures were circular, rectangular and irregular shaped items. The only shaped not represented was a triangle. It created a one meter gap between the structure and the structures. It also included a minimum of a one meter clearance between different structures around the playground. The structures included; a park bench with Water fountain (15m in circumference) a rink (ice/roller blade) with the measurements of 6m x 18 m x 14m x 8m x 10m, a set of monkey bars/swings/sandbox (10m in circumference) and a basketball court with the measurements of 10 m x 7m. The student did a very good job maximizing the playground with the shapes created. (see attached playground drawing) Anticipated Response #3 This was an average response. The student used a variety of shapes but didn’t allow for enough clearance between the structure and the fencing around the playground. The shapes they did use included a circle, triangle and an irregular shape but did not use the maximum one rectangular shape requirement for the playground. The structures included a soccer field with the dimensions of 8m x 4m x 12m x 16 m, a park bench with water fountain with (15m in circumference) a set of monkey bars/swings/sandbox (10m in circumference), a beach (sand) Volleyball court that’s dimensions are (14m x 14m x 14m) and a baseball diamond with the dimensions that are (5m x 5m x 10m). The student did an average job of utilizing the space of the playground. There was enough clearance between structures but without clearance from the fence someone could be seriously injured. (see attached playground drawing) Anticipated Response #4 This was a poor response. The student did not use a variety of shapes to represent structures on the playground. They did not provide enough clearance between the fence and two of the three structures chosen to represent the playground. Although the student did use a great deal of the playground there was little consideration to providing different shapes and structures on the playground. The shapes represented were two rectangles and a circle. The structures included a soccer field with the dimensions of (12m x 21m) a basketball courts with the dimension of 0 m x 7 m, and a park bench with water fountain with (15m in circumference). The student used the minimum amount of shapes needed to fill the playground. The student did a poor job maximizing the space and use of the structures on the playground. (see attached playground drawing) Anticipated Response #5 This is an excellent response. The student used a variety of shapes to represent the structures on the playground. While the maximum was 5, the student was able situate 6 structures on the playground.  The shapes included; rectangles, triangles, circles and irregular shapes. The structures included; a skateboard ramp (6m x 6m x 6m), a set of monkey Bars/Swings/Sandbox that are (18m in circumference), a park bench with water fountain that is (10 m in circumference), a tennis Court that is (3m x 5m) a baseball diamond $150 (6m x 6m x 6m) and a basketball Court 8m x 4m x 12m x 4m. There was the minimum one meter clearance between the structures and the fence. There was a minimum one meter clearance between the structures from one another as well.  The student did an excellent job maximizing the entire playground with its structures. Each area was open enough that it allowed students the chance to move around collectively without feeling confined. (see attached playground drawing)
