6. Procedures/Methods-
|
|
A. Introduction-
| The warm up is reviewing fractions. This small review was used because
fractions and division will be used a lot in this lesson. |
| |
|
|
B. Development-
| Because this is a review, the students should understand the bigger
concept. To review, ask students if this is familiar. Show students
the "new" way with the t char. Do two problems with no help from students
to show them the proper steps. These two problems should be scaffold
with easier first, and then harder with the second. |
| |
|
|
C. Practice-
| TWO PROBLEMS MAX! (If students have trouble with the problems do
one more to explain.) To engage students, ask for their participation
by giving them numbers and units. Guiding questions: Where did you
get stuck? What do you think your next step should be? Look back to
the example, what step is next? To check in with students, use 1-5. |
| |
|
|
D. Independent Practice-
| Students should pick the evens to complete during the independent
practice part. They can ask their neighbor for help. Myself and city
year will be circulating to help other students. TEACHER ASSISTANTS:
Dejahnah and Dijjanny. They were taught this method before class.
They have demonstrated to me that they understand this method. |
| |
|
|
E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-
1. Higher students: complete ALL word problems.
2. Lower students: focus on the problems where it is straight conversions
and are NOT multi-step.
|
| |
|
|
F. Checking for understanding-
| Check in with these students: Daniel, Rashay, Jasmine, Alexis. Either
work with them in a small group or have a TA or city year work with
them. |
| |
|
|
G. Closure-
| Ask students which way is easier to remember. |
| |
|
7. Evaluation-
|
| TEACHER---look over classwork to see if students understood and
where their mistakes were. |
