3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
|
1. To Produce an Ad campaign based on a mathematical concept or
idea.
2. To investigate real world Mathematics
|
| |
|
|
4. Objectives-
|
1. To research a chosen Real World context and its relationship
to Mathematics
2. To work in groups of 2 ( or 3) to produce an ad campaign (of at
least 6 slides or 2 minutes in length)that promotes Mathematics in
the context you have chosen.
3. To develop independent thinking and creative problem solving

5. Materials and Aids-
|
Internet and media resources. School library.
(Personal cameras maybe used in school only with permission from the
teacher in charge for a predetermined purpose) |
| |
|
6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
1. Introduction video on Ad campaigns
2. Pairs organized and confirmed
3. Brainstorming session and plan formed. |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
1. Teacher in charge clear about process and task briefs
2. Library booked for as many sessions as possible for Internet access.
3. Ad campaigns may be video/ printed/PowerPoint etc. Work submitted
on memory stick for marking - or other means if appropriate.
|

2. Starter activity everyday
3. Extension or additional work left if required. |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
1. End of 2 lessons draft 1 to be handed in to teacher in charge
to be approved

|
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
Marking schedule:
Self, Peer and teacher marking. Students will present their ad campaign
to the class on Monday 4th July.
Marks will be given for:
Real world topic chosen
Mathematical links clearly made in ad campaign
Creativity
Working together cooperatively ( teacher in charge will grade this)
|
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
1. Work presented by each pair to the class with explanations -
using the projector or other appropriate means.
