LESSON CONDUCT

Lesson stages	Activity content	Didactic strategy resources:	Evaluation
Teacher’s activity	Students’activity	Procedural	Material	Classroom management
1.Oragnizational moment (1 min)	The order is established, the climate necessary to start the activity. Check the atendance.   Check that all students have all the necessary materials on the desk. Prepare the necessary materials.	They’re getting ready for class. They have notebooks, textbooks and notebooks and a geometry kit on the desks. – meet administrative requirements; – answer the teacher’s questions;	Conversation	School register Notebooks Textbooks Crayons Geometry kit	Frontal Individual	Verbal appreciations
2. Capturing attention (3 min)	-verifying the homework and updating the previously taught knowledge:   What is a right angle? Draw right angles with the square and then with the protractor. Then draw right triangles. Name the elements of the triangle.   The teacher appreciates and corrects the students’ answers	Reading the homework.   Answer the questions and draw right angles and right triangles.   They pay attention to the teacher’s explanations, discuss freely and ask for any clarifications during the discussion.	conversation Discussion Analyze Explanation Systematic observation brainstorming	pencils notebooks Geometry kit drawings	Frontal Individual	Verbal appreciations Systematic observation Analysis of the received answers Selfassessment Continuous formative oral
3. Preparing students for the reception of new knowledge  (2 min)	The teacher divides the class into four groups, using colored cards. On each work table are placed cards with numbers, from 1 to 4, which will indicate the work groups.	Listen and comply with what the teacher says.	Conversation		Frontal activity
4.Communicating the lesson topic and operational objectives (2 min)	The teacher iforms the students about the topic of the lesson.   S/He writes the date and the title of the lesson ″ Properties of the right triangle ″ on the board Informs students about the main objectives of the lesson	The students write in their notebooks the title of the lesson.	Conversation Explanation	Pencils Noteboks Board Chalk Drawing	Frontal Individual	Verbal appreciations
5. Content presentation and learning conduct  (25 min)	A worksheet is distributed to each group;     In each group, students will choose a number from one to four, stating that they will have to get up and sit at the table on which the number of their choice is placed. This will form 4 groups of experts. Students are explained that they will become experts in the group, and they will receive a worksheet that they will have to explain to their classmates after 15 minutes. The expert sheets are distributed, the students discuss them in groups, the teacher monitors the activity of each group.     After 15 minutes, the initial groups are re-established, in which there will be experts in each task. Each expert explains to the other colleagues the work task learned, the colleagues noting on the notebooks. After 10 minutes, each student will have all the work tasks explained. The teacher intervenes whenever s/he feels the need.	Students pay attention to the teacher’s explanations and presentation; they form expert groups, meet the teacher’s requirements;	conversation Presentation Jigshaw Commenting and group discussion	Sheets, plasticine, chopsticks paper, scissors, compass marker, colors; tape glue	Activity in expert groups and working groups	Verbal appreciations Systematic observation Analysis of the received  answers Selfassessment Solving exercises and problems continuous formative written
6. Fixation and systematization (8 min)	After 15 minutes, one student from each group presents the solutions obtained for the work task, then how to solve it;     The “GALLERY TOUR” method is applied: – each group visits the gallery to examine and discuss each product;    – take notes; can comment and give a grade on the papers on display;    – after all the groups have visited the “gallery”, appreciations will be made, they will correct any mistakes and the grade will be discussed;    – the teacher makes assessments regarding the entire activity;	Students listen carefully to the report of the team leaders, visit the gallery, give grades, comment, present the strengths and weaknesses;	discussions and analysis of the debate in groups and reporting sessions	paper, marker	Group activity	Continuous formative Oral and written
7. Association, generalization and application  (4 min)	Students are asked to complete the following statement: “If I were a triangle, I would like to be a ………………. triangle because …………”	Listen, solve work tasks;	Exercises; brainstorming	handouts; marker	Individual work	Continuous Formative Oral
8. Appreciation of students’ activity  (3 min)	The evaluation is done by grading the students who have stood out.	Students listen carefully, take notes and comment;	Heuristic conversation;		Frontal activity	Oral
9. Homework (2 min)	The teacher gives homework- Handouts are distributed; explanations are given for solving the tasks.	Write down the homework	Conversation	Notebooks	Frontal	Verbal appreciations
