Lesson Plans- On-Level Math
Fall 2017
DATE: 8/28 – 9/1
Monday
Objective: I will be able to classify rational numbers using a Venn diagram.
Activity:
· Update Google calendar
· Begin classroom jobs
· 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: Integers w.s. due Thursday
Materials Needed: index cards, temperatures from 5 coldest places, student sheet to complete, textbook
Tuesday
Objective: I will be able to add integers using a number line.
Activity:
· Warm-Up: Create a frayer model for the vocabulary term rational numbers on an index card and glue in journal. (Students use their book- p. 32)
· Math Football
§ Where do you see integers in sports?
§ Which number cube did you want to show the greater value? Explain your reasoning.
§ Did you ever find yourself back at the same position you ended on your previous turn? Describe the values shown on the cubes that would cause this to happen.
· Adding integers with number lines
§ Describe the graphical representation of the first term. Where does it start and in which direction does it move? Why?
§ What is the absolute value of the first term in each example?
§ Why did the graphical representation for the second term both start at the endpoints of the first terms but then continue in opposite directions? Explain your reasoning.
§ What are the absolute values of the second term?
§ What patterns do you notice?
Closing Product: We will construct and solve at least 6 out of 8 number lines correctly.
Homework: Integers w.s. due Thursday
Materials Needed: adding integers with number lines handout for students, football math game board, red and white dice, player pieces
Wednesday
Objective: I will be able to add integers using 2-colored counters.
Activity:
· Bubble Map over Integers- students create a bubble map in their journal integers
· Adding integers with 2-colored counters ppt
o Which color represents a negative and which color represents a positive?
o What happens if I owe a dollar and I pay it back?
o How do you find the sum of two negative integers?
o How do you know if your sum is going to be positive?
o How do you know if your sum is going to be negative?
o What patterns do you notice?
· Guided practice (p.120 #1-2 and p.126 #5-8)
Closing Product: We will get at least 5 out of 6 questions correct on the guided practice.
Homework: Integers w.s. due Thursday
Materials Needed: 2-color counters, adding integers handout for students, textbook, red & yellow colors for students, red & yellow counter magnets for board
Thursday
Objective: I will be able to add integers without models.
Activity:
Activity:
· Warm-Up: Additive Inverse problems
· Check over Integers w.s.
· Adding integers practice- the students will be drawing cards to create expressions and solve those expressions mentally
· Independent Practice
Closing Product: We will get at least 28 out of 39 questions correct on the independent practice.
Homework: none
Materials Needed: number cards, playing cards
Friday
Objective: I will be able to subtract integers with two-colored counters.
Activity:
· Warm-Up: Write and solve a word problem that can be modeled by the sum of 7 + (-5)
· Subtracting Integers ppt- students work as a whole group with 2-color counters to model what happens when subtracting integers.
o What patterns do you notice occur when you have a subtract a negative from a negative?
o Explain a method that you can use in order to subtract integers with two-color counters.
o Integer Rules hand out- glue in journal
o P. 132 Guided Practice (#5-14)
Closing Product: We will get at least 7 out of 10 questions correct on the guided practice.
Homework: Skills Sheet #2 due Thursday, Sept. 7
Materials Needed: subtracting integers ppt, subtracting integers hand out, textbook
