Welcome to the World of Quadrilaterals

Introduction

Hello, my name is Julie Bingaman. I created, for the very first time, an interactive Power point called “Welcome to the World of Quadrilaterals.”This Power point was designed to be a stand-alone project used to teach 4th graders how to find the perimeter of a quadrilateral and the area of a rectangle or square.

Analyze phase of the ADDIE model :

Since I have been teaching 4th grade for the past four years I determined this was the grade level I was going to analyze. Recently I’ve been assigned to analyze data for my school with the School Improvement Team. This led me to discover the significant gap in learning of Perimeter and Area. Clearly 3rd and 4th graders are lacking in this area.

Design phase of the ADDIE model:During this phase I laid out the learning objectives. I decided what I wanted this power point to teach. Then I sat down and drew out how I wanted my power point . Since an interactive power point is non-linear, I sort of drew out a map of what slides would need to be connected to what. This helped me before I started actually creating my project

Development phase of the ADDIE Model:Even though I had mapped out a path, I

truly didn’t know the capabilities of creating an interactive power point until this phase.

Developing the interactive power point was probably the most fun I’ve had in a long time because it was neat what I could do and how I could challenge differently using technology.

In this phase I used all the information I collected up to then and created slides.

Implement phase of the ADDIE model:

My thoughts to implement are listed on the slide titled “Plans of Implementation” on this power point presentation

Evaluation phase of the ADDIE modelI honestly feel that this was the hardest part of the

ADDIE model. Sure it is easy to assess, however I am still having a hard time wrapping my brain around the way to evaluate the effectiveness of this project. Here are a few of my ideas:

Use my survey Create centers having the objectives in mind to see if

students understood and learned Have students in small groups to teach a lesson based off of

what they learned from the power point. If the MEAP scores have increased this coming MEAP vs. last

years MEAP Have students take an evaluation after they go through the

power point and allow time for them to give their feedback.

Learning Objectives

After completing the interactive power point called “Welcome to the World of Quadrilaterals,” students will be able to:

describe that to find the perimeter of a quadrilateral they have to add up all the sides.

They will also be able to describe that to find the area of a rectangle or a square they will have to multiply length and width.

They will be able to identify missing length or width when the area is given.

Finally student should be able to analyze the differences between perimeter and area

Demonstration of Final Project

I first began explaining how to find the perimeter of a quadrilateral. If students do not know what a quadrilateral is, there is a hyperlink to help them.

After they read on perimeter they have a chance to try it on their own. If they click on the correct button it will take them to a slide with a smiley face on it and a sound of congrats.

If they got their question wrong, there is an explanation of what may have happened on the slide and they will have to try again.

Here is an example of what it looks like when students attempt it on their own.

Once they have completed all of their perimeter work, they move onto area. For area there is a slide with information and a link to a movie that explains more.

The “try it on their own” assessments are set up the same as perimeter where if student gets it correct it will go to a good job slide and if it is wrong it will go to a try again slide

Here is an example of what it looks like when students attempt it on their own.

After students are done learning about area they are taken to a quiz. They also have a link with the option to study more through an online site.

The quiz allows students to move straight into a game section that enhances their perimeter and area skills.

I ended the power point with the chance for teachers to view the standards I used and to take a survey.

Student Assessment

As stated above assessment s are given throughout the power point. After each section taught the student has a chance to try it on their own.

There is also a 10 question quiz given at the end with the ability to go to another site for more practice.

If this lesson is given at the beginning of the year I will be able to clearly assess how well students do when we revisit this objective.

Plans of Implementation

I plan to implement this power point next year before the incoming 4th graders take the MEAP in October.

I will again reinforce it when perimeter and area arrive in the curriculum to teach.

If I do not teach 4th grade I will then give it to the math teacher to use.

However before I do this I plan to have my 4th grade daughter test it out this summer and improve it before next year.

Results of Peer Evaluation

Since internet has been done at my current location I was unable to get my peer responses done on time. I have sent out emails and I am looking forward to seeing what their views are.

First Evaluation: Sent to John Phillips a colleague of mine

Second Evaluation: Sent to Emily Kane a fourth grade teacher at another school
