Name: David Rodgers
Topic: Teaching and Application of Math
Presentation Teacher: Mr. Ogden
EQ: What is the most effective way to teach mathematics to adolescents?
Classroom Theme: Standard. Materials I need are a projector, computer capable of displaying a PowerPoint presentation, a white board, markers, and tables for students to sit at.
Sponge activity:
1.) What is the activity?
Quick Survey.
2.) How will it be done?
I will ask two questions and record the results on the board. They will be yes or no questions.
3.) How does the activity relate to your answer?
The questions will be, "who here likes math?" and, "who wants to go into a field dealing with mathematics?" I will proceed to discuss the data and the opinions of the students.
4.) What materials are required?
A white board and a marker.
Introduction:
I will introduce myself and define my EQ. After this I will state each of my three solutions and my plan for the day. I expect the rest of the lesson plan to be in the following order:

Conclusion.
Foundation:
I plan to start by stating that modern teaching of most kinds, including mathematics is a fairly new concept in comparison to old traditions and methods, and then link the sponge activity to this by mentioning career aspects and fields for mathematicians and teachers alike.
Answer 1 Explanation:
Information taught:
I will speak on the importance of the student them self and how knowing them makes teaching many times easier than simply assuming you know the best method to teach them.
Answer 1 Activity:
Take five minutes to do an investigation of the person next to them. After which, ask questions and see if they got the questions right.
Answer 2 Explanation:
Information taught:
The importance the environment plays when teaching a student or an entire classroom and how to turn it to your advantage.
Answer 2 activity:
Undecided.
Answer 3 Explanation:
Information taught:
The importance of working together as a team to most effectively teach mathematics, or any subject, at high school level.
Answer 3 Activity:
Give each person a math problem and ask them to solve it themselves within a short time limit. After this past, give out the answer and see how many got it right. After this, tell them to form groups of four and to solve a different problem within the same time limit. Ask how many got it right and compare the results.
Best Answer:
Currently I value knowing the student as the best answer because students are like problems, you can have all the tools you want but without knowing about the problem, you can't solve it.
