Math+Lesson+Development

-“Can you give me other examples of rates? (Write examples on board.) Ie: speed limit, points per game, 8 legs/spider, 12 eggs/dozen. M(CCR)-8-3 -Use a simple example of a rate such as, school days per week, how many school days are there in 4 weeks? Write it on the board. -Ask if they think finding a rate resembles some other mathematical idea. (It looks like a fraction or a ratio) M(CCR)-8-3, M(N&O)-6-2 -Talk about a rate table being a great way to organize and solve for rates. Use points per game example in the table format. M(CCR)-8-2, M(DSP)-6-3 M(F&A)-6-2, M(CCR)-8-1 -Students will take a few minutes to complete, p. 286 of their Math Journal in class. I will then go over the answers with students, using the overhead projector and the front board. Students will write examples on board and talk about how they solved them. M(F&A)-6-2, M(CCR)-8-1 -Using the jump roping rate I will create two problems on the board that we can solve as a group together using a rate table. M(PRP)-8-1 -Assign Math Journal, p. 287 for homework. M(CCR)-8-2, M(DSP)-6-3 -If time allows, make up problems using student examples of rates on board. Back to Andrea's Home Page
