Lesson Plans- On-Level Math
Fall 2017
DATE: 8/21 – 8/25
Monday
Objective: I will be learning procedures to follow in the classroom and policies about our school.
Activity:
· Getting to Know You Activity
· Syllabus and grading policy
· Classroom procedures
o Partner activity to learn classroom procedures
· Thinking Map- Bubble Map
o What does look like to be polite? What does it sound like if someone is polite?
Closing Product: We will create a bubble map that describes what it means to be respectful.
Homework: Parent Signature due Friday; Need at least one composition journal (2 journals before the end of the year)
Materials Needed: syllabus, butcher paper, T/F cards
Tuesday
Objective: I will be learning procedures to follow in the classroom and policies about our school.
Activity:
· Warm-Up: Journal Set-Up- intro page, table of contents pages
· Checking out textbooks
· Google classroom set-up and Google calendar
· Reflection on Bubble Map
· Getting to Know You Activity
· You Cubed Activity
Closing Product:
Homework: Skills Sheet #1 due Friday; parent signature on syllabus due Friday
Materials Needed: journal set-up
Wednesday
Objective: I will be able to identify a number, its opposite, and its absolute value.
Activity:
· Opposites Powerpoint
o Students create a number line on graph paper and fold the number line in half so the crease goes through 0 and hold it up to the light. (Option: You can already have premade number lines for them to use instead.)
o Students write their observations about their number line in their journal (think pair share then whole group discussion)
o Answer the following questions in journal (solo/partner)
§ Use your number line to find opposites of 7, -6, 1 and 9. Why do you think that is the opposite?
§ What is the opposite of 0? Why?
§ Why do you need numbers less than zero?
o Frayer Model for Integers
o Number Line Activity
o Key words for Integers T-chart
o Clarify the meaning of sea level- ppt
Closing Product: We will create an anchor chart as a whole class for integer key words.
Homework: Skills Sheet #1 due Friday; parent signature on syllabus due Friday
Materials Needed: number line (premade ones from previous year), student hand out (journal), key words t-chart (butcher paper)
Thursday
Objective: I will be able to locate, compare and order integers using a number line.
Activity:
· Brain Pop Video on absolute value
o Create a frayer model for absolute value
· Finding absolute value p. 19
o Which pairs of numbers have the same absolute value? How are these numbers related?
o Negative numbers are less than positive numbers. Does this mean that the absolute value of a negative number must be less than the absolute value of a positive number?
· Human Number Line Activity- Each student gets an integer passed out to them. The teacher calls up students to come up to be the “point” on the number line. The opposite of values come up as well. The class also discusses absolute value. Students record these points on the number line that they have in their journal.
o What patterns did you notice when you put numbers in order from least to greatest?
o What patterns did you notice when you put numbers in order from greatest to least?
o What does it mean for one negative number to be greater than another negative number?
· P. 16 guided practice (solo/partner)
o How can you use a number line to compare and order numbers?
Closing Product: We will get at least 10 out of 14 questions correct on the guided practice.
Homework: Skills Sheet #1 due Friday; parent signature on syllabus due Friday
Materials Needed: index cards, number line at the front of the room made up masking tape (can also create one on the board and have students tape numbers on there), human number line activity sheet (for student), textbook
Friday
Objective: I will be able to classify rational numbers using a Venn diagram.
I will be able to locate, compare and order integers using a number line and apply integers to problems arising in everyday life.
Activity:
· Warm-Up: Check Skill Sheet
· Create a frayer model for the vocabulary term rational numbers on an index card and glue in journal. (Students use their book- p. 32)
· Venn diagram with people
o A large circle is written on the board and labeled students. 8 students are selected to write their name on an index card and place the index card on the front board.
o Next, draw a smaller circle inside and label it girls. The boys sit down and the girls transfer the cards so they are now inside both circles.
o Lastly, draw an even smaller circle inside the other two and label it… (ex: wearing long sleeves, wearing sneakers, etc…) Those that aren’t included sit down and the rest transfer their cards to the smallest circle.
· Venn diagram to classify rational numbers (record in journal)
o Each group comes up with a rational number to put on an index card. (Can have cards already made so you can assure you have a variety of numbers in your Venn diagram.) One person from each group comes up to put their card in the rational number circle on the board.
o Next, draw a smaller circle inside it and label it integers. Students decide which numbers need to move inside this circle.
o Lastly, draw an even smaller circle inside the other two and label it whole numbers. Students decide which numbers need to move inside this circle.
· practice p.34 (#9 – 12)
· Comparing and Ordering Integers Activity- students are given different real world scenarios where they might need to compare and order the integers. Students place the integers in order from least to greatest and write at least two inequality statements.
o Students compare the coldest recorded temperatures found in the world http://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/activityandadventure/6967719/Top-10-the-worlds-hottest-and-coldest-places.html (print out necessary slides)
Closing Product: We will place be able to place given temperatures in order from the coldest to the warmest correctly.
Homework: none
Materials Needed: index cards, temperatures from 5 coldest places, student sheet to complete, textbook
