Osvaldo Martinez KMS,EC CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Stadiums Of America KMS, EL Centro This would be a nice activity to do at the beginning of spring, as the baseball season gets underway. Students will be given two teams to investigate. They will be asked to make a scaled drawing of their teams’ stadium. One drawing should fit on an 8½ x 11 piece of paper and the second drawing should be on a regular size construction paper. The students should come out with the appropriate ratio and be able to explain to the class why their ratio is the correct one. CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Stadiums of America KMS, EL Centro Stadiums of America 1.0 Students choose appropriate units of measure and use ratios to convert within and between measurement systems to solve problems: 1.2 Construct and read drawings and models made to scale. CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION California's Mathematics Academic Standards Math: Measurement and Geometry Seventh Grade KMS, EL Centro Stadiums of America 1. Students need to find and write down the playing field dimensions for a pre-assigned baseball stadium. 2. Students will scale actual field dimensions, so that the scaled dimensions fit in an 8 ½ x 11 piece of paper. 3. Students will make a scaled drawing of the baseball field on an 8 ½ x 11 piece of paper. 4. Students will write a rationale on why they chose their specific dimensions. It should include the math used to convert from the actual dimensions to the scaled dimensions. 5. Upon request students will define 5 words out of a list of 8 that are components of the lesson. CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Instructional Objectives KMS, EL Centro Stadiums of America Student Activities Using one of the different MLB stadiums, students will need to calculate the correct proportion, so that a stadium's field dimensions can fit inside an 8 ½ x 11 piece of paper. The scaled drawing has to take up as much of the paper as possible. As a start up activity, students will visit one of two web sites for help. Introductory Activity Model Vehicles In groups of four, students will receive a scale model. Using the information that is supplied in the package students will have to come up with the proper dimensions of the given object. They will have to explain to the class the rationale that they used in coming up with the dimensions. Enabling Activity(ies) Students will start of the lesson by practicing analyzing a map. Their first activity will be to calculate the amount of miles that a baseball team travels on an average road trip. Activity 1 Culminating Activity Students will pick a second baseball stadium to scale down to fit on a ( ) construction paper. They will need to include their new calculations and their rationale. As students present their final product to the class, they will need to answer a series of questions about the importance of ratio and proportion.

CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Introductory KMS, EL Centro Activity Can't come out with true dimensions. Class presentation is poor. Group is not organized KMS, EL Centro Stadiums of America INTERNET INTEGRATION Successes: It allowed me to present the material in a non traditional format. Problems: •Main activity could not be done because web resources were no longer there. •Students were not computer literate and that took time off from my lesson/ CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION Students were excited over the lesson. KMS, EL Centro Stadiums of America LESSON PLAN REVISIONS •Reserve a day for computer instruction •Add web sources CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION •Add questions KMS, EL Centro Stadiums of America Lesson Implementation •3 Day lesson •Map activity. In the future will correct work from the web page. CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION •PreTest-Checked answers on the internet.

I still need to improve. Through CTAP, I have been able to develop other activities to help my students understand certain concepts. In terms of the web, I have found ways to improve upon it. What I created at the beginning was not what I gave my students. CTAP 295 Teaching with Technology FINAL PRESENTATION What I learned KMS, EL Centro Stadiums of America CTAP was a positive experience for both my students and myself. The students enjoyed the programs that I develop through CTAP. The lesson, although I had some problems turned out o.k. I ended up changing it a bit, but I thought that it was for the better.
