Hello everyone,
This week's assignment is a little difficult for me to complete. I think the assignment is to design and develop the media for one lesson from last week's course outline. So my lesson I will choose is one of the main objectives for Calculus students. This topic is related rates.
I would start the students off with the wikipedia definition of related rates. This would give the students a chance to interact with the content of reading the material online. I might also suggest that the students view a video explaining the walk-thru solution to a related rate problem so they can see the steps involved in solving the problems.

I would then present the students in my class with my video podcast of my explanation of related rate problems along with a sample problem for them to work through.

I would assign either some problems from the textbook or from a worksheet online that the students could download and work on. These problems would be considered their homework assignment and they could work on them alone or in small groups.

Including the definition about the topic is a good way to start off your lesson. I'm thinking of using videos from YouTube as well, I just have to find one that's clear and easy to follow.
ReplyDeleteHi Grace,
ReplyDeleteThanks for the compliment on the definition useage. I can't wait to see your videos also. I just added my own video, so you should check it out.

Neat, I don't know many people who have not struggled with a math class. I think a big part of that is that the definitions are not made clear and students then lose any interest in doing the work. They feel like they are only working on abstract problems with no sense of what this skill will be good for.
