Math Lesson plan for UDL
Math activity designed with UDL: Students will have to design a garden, house or any place they
like, determining the shapes (regular polygons, circles, irregular shapes and composite figures) for the
design and calculate the area and perimeter of the design.
Learning Targets: Determine geometric shapes to design and calculate the area and perimeter
Activity Steps on UDL principles and guidelines:
Step-1: Anticipatory Set
1. Students will watch a video reviewing area and perimeter formulas. This activity addresses
2
UDL principle & guidelines: multiple means of representation -activates prior knowledge;
alternate auditory and visual information; and highlights big ideas.
2. Students will create a study guide of their choice either manually (using paper/pen) or digital
(MS word or paint) including all the formulas they have learnt. This activity addresses UDL
principles: multiple means of representation- customize display of information; multiple means
of engagement- increase individual choice; multiple means of action and expression supporting
the guidelines – choice of media for communication.
Step-2: Model New Knowledge and Guided Practice: Students will be provided different options for
new knowledge acquaintance and guided practice. The options are 1) meeting with teacher for mini
lesson, 2) review examples from the textbook (hard copy or digital-online resources), 3) watching video
of lesson demonstration 4) Visit samples for practicing problems. This activity addresses UDL
principles and guidelines: multiple means of representation– providing alternative for auditory and
visual information; multiple means of engagement– increase choice, vary levels of challenge; multiple
means of action and expression– provide ways to scaffold practice and performance.
Step-3: Independent Practice: Students will share the shapes used in the design and will work
independently practicing some problems and by finding the areas and perimeters of the shapes used in
the design. This activity addresses UDL principles: multiple means of engagement – increase
individual choice and enhance relevance.
Step-4: Cooperative Learning Groups: Students will work in small groups to complete the design
and project the design provided with different options- tangible, creating a blue print, video, skit, song,
or PowerPoint. UDL principles addressed in the activity are-multiple means of engagement-vary levels
of challenge foster collaboration; multiple means of action and expression – provide ways to respond,
choice of media for communication, support planning and strategy development.
