3.SWBAT create a graph from data expressed as word problems
 
5. Materials and Aids-
Pencils
Paper (answer sheet)
Smart board
Personal white boards
Dry erase markers
 
6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

TW review previous graphs with students, asking them essential questions to activate prior knowledge. TW transition into new lesson introducing new graphs with examples. SW copy notes that will be for personal development and used as an additional tool. TW turn to smart board and display examples of question to be answered.
 

B. Development-

When questions are displayed on the smart board teacher will model the first one for students. The will then practice individually on their white boards.
 

C. Practice-

Once ample amount of time is given to individual practice, TE will have an a activity sheet to assess for understanding.
 

Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

Time during recess will be given to additional support for students who may need it.
 

Checking for understanding-

The assessment that was given during the lesson will be assessed so that TWBAT know where to go next in the days ahead. A exit ticket will be given also as a way to know if students are grasping the concept of graphs and how they work.
