What is the correct format to use for a physical education lesson plan for grade five?

PE lesson plans need the same essential parts as other
lesson plans.  First, you have to have a clear standard.  Use your standards content
standards for fifth grade.  Then, you use the standard to create a clear objective.  The
objective is the specific goal for that lesson.  In other words, this is what you want
students to learn by the end of the lesson.  Remember that PE lessons are likely to last
at least several days, with most units lasting several
weeks. 


Below I have included a link to a web site that
contains many ideas for PE lessons.  A PE lesson should include the
following.


Stretching/Warm-up- Since physical activity is
going to be involved, it is important to begin a PE lesson with an appropriate warm-up. 
Kids often do not get enough physical activity, so rigorous movement without a warm-up
could result in injury.


Direct Instruction- Too often, PE
consists of letting kids go off and play.  This is recess, not PE.  You need to organize
your curriculum around specific standards and objectives.  Since PE often requires
practice, a short direct lesson and demonstration is
best.


Practice- Once you have instructed students in the
lesson, you need to give them some practice time.  Usually, this can best be done with
students working on the skill in groups while you go from group to group observing and
correcting.


Recap/Cool down- It is just as important to
cool down after vigorous activity as it is to warm up.  It is also just as important to
review at the end of a PE lesson as it is in any other
lesson.


Assessment-  Assessment is different in PE than in
other subject areas, because much of it involves performance and observation.  Often PE
grades are based on participation, but many states also have physical fitness tests and
standards that students need to meet.  There is much informal assessment in PE, so the
teacher has to be aware and observant.

Calculate tan(x-y), if sin x=1/2 and sin y=1/3. 0

We'll write the formula of the tangent of difference of 2 angles. tan (x-y) = (tan x - tan y)/(1 + tan x*tan y) ...
