Semantic+Feature+Analysis

Rationale:
I would use this strategy because I want my students to analyze similarities and differences among quadrilaterals.

Course:
Geometry –Quadrilaterals. This strategy is implemented with ninth and tenth grade Geometry students who need to know the similarities and differences among quadrilaterals.

Diverse learners:
This strategy would mostly benefit all the following types of learners. Visual – They will fill out a chart that they can see and learn from. Kinesthetic – They will be asked work through a chart.

Procedure:
1. The teacher will provide a grid that will help the students look for similarities and differences among quadrilaterals. Parallelogram – Rectangle – Rhombus – Square 2. The students will be asked to mark a Yes or a No to see if properties are applied to each quadrilateral. 3. Students may mark a ? if they are uncertain. 4. We will then discuss each property to determine if they answers are correct. 5. They will use the corrected grid for a study guide.

Potential Issues:
A problem that might occur is that not all the students will be able to participate orally but the teacher needs to keep them all involved.
