6. Procedures/Methods-
|
A. Introduction-
Start the class by reiterating the classroom rule for the day: "More
talk, Less Stars." Explain to the class that as they are divided into
two groups, instead of gaining stars for good behavior, they will
already have stars that will be taken from them if they are to be
misbehaved.
Then, once the class is settled down, have them accomplish the first
activity where they will have to figure out the amount of ingredients
they will need to make a certain number of pancakes, given a set recipe.

|
B. Development-
After 10 minutes, have the class post their work on the board. Have
each group explain how they came up with their answers. Then, if one
of the groups was able to get the correct answer using the correct
method, further expound on their work. If not, point out their mistakes
and introduce the concept of proportion. Post the rules for forming
a proportion from two ratios. |
|
|
C. Practice-
Present another problem this time using the concept of Time Management
and have the class solve the problem with you via recitation. (See
attachment for problem and solution) |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
Then, give the class at least 3 simple word problems on finding
the proportion for given ratios, which they will have to solve individually. |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
|
F. Checking for understanding-
After 10 minutes, have 3 students solve one problem each on the
board. |
|
|
G. Closure-
To end the class, reiterate rules in forming a proportion out of
two ratios. |
|
|
7. Evaluation-
|
For evaluation, have students make their own simple problem about
forming a proportion out of two ratios. |
