Unit Description

Students will improve their communication skills by talking about what the date and the month is each day. We will learn about weather for each day and see what would be comfortable to wear depending on the weather. Students will also learn about what is coming up on the calendar and how they are going to prepare for it. They will build their social skills by interacting with the group and being involved in group discussions.

​

Lesson Description for Day

We will go through a powerpoint as our morning discussion. We will talk about the date, the weather, what we are comfortable wearing, what we have planned for the weekend etc. 

After our morning discussion, (if we have time) we will go to n2y.com and read the article together about pizza as a class. We will take turns reading and do the games that go along with it.If any of the students chose to start misbehaving, try to engage them more! Ask them questions, ask them to read to the class, have them ask questions.

From the Kansas English Language Arts Standards

​

Goals

Unit Goals: 

Students will build social skills with the morning discussion and they will learn about the weather, the date, schedules and holidays. 

 

Lesson Goals: 

 Each Student should be able to answer:

 -What is the date today?

-What is the weather like today? 

-Tell about your weekend.

-Tell about one of your meals this weekend. 

-What people did you see over the weekend? 

​

 

Methods

Anticipatory Set: 

-Have the chairs in a circle for morning discussion. 

-Have the weather forecast for the day on the board 

 

Introduce and Model New Knowledge:

Introduce what holiday is coming up (Thanksgiving) and ask the students what they are planning to do for this. 

 

Provide Guided Practice:

We will gather in a circle and read an article on n2y.com about pizza. We will take turns reading it and do the games that come along with it. 

 

Provide Independent Practice: 

There won't be a lot of independent practice. The students will be engaged in discussion most of the time. 

 

Wrap-Up

We will wrap up by going around the room and saying what our goal is for today and how we are going to accomplish that. 

​

 

Assessment

Formative/Ongoing Assessment:

Students will answer questions and engage in discussion during the lesson, they will answer questions like what did you do last night? what is the weather like today? or what are you doing this weekend? etc. 

This will act as their formative assessment as they will be practicing speaking 1-on-1, with a group and with teachers. 

​

Summative/End Of Lesson Assessment: 

At the end of each quarter, they will be assessed on how well their communication skills have improved, any new words they have acquired and how much more they talk.

Unit Description

This unit will cover an introduction to the Pythagorean theorem. Then we will explore using algebra to find different side lengths, solving equations and solving word problems with Pythagorean theorem. 

​

Lesson Description for Day

Today, we will begin using the Pythagorean theorem. We will start off with some warm up problems from the previous lesson which are attached. Then we will begin notes on the pythagorean theorem.After you think they understand it, we will then do an activity with starbursts. We will review what we learned with a kahoot. Hand out whiteboards for everyone and let everyone participate. 

​

4. Start the "starburst activity" directions are attached. 

 

Provide Guided Practice

Students will take notes on my lecture on the Pythagorean theorem and do practice problems that I will guide them through. 

Students will all participate in a kahoot game to provide extra guided practice. If there is a lot of people that get a certain question wrong then we will go through that problem as a class.

Unit Description

In this unit, students will learn how to multiply and divide fractions, including mixed numbers and whole numbers. Students will also learn how to demonstrate models with each multiplication problem.

 

Lesson Description for Day

Today, we will review how to multiply fractions and use the methods we learned in class on Tuesday to create models on the board. I will ask students questions as we go and have them go through it with me. Maybe invite students up to the board to help solve problems to make it more interactive. Next, we will grade our assignment from Wednesday, answer any questions and turn that in. 

 

State Standards

 Apply and extend previous understandings of multiplication and division to divide fractions by fractions.

-Students will learn how to Multiply and Model Part of a Mixed Fraction

-Students will learn how to Multiply and Model Mixed Fraction of another Mixed Fraction

-Students will learn how to multiply decimals 

-Students will learn how to divide decimals

 

 

Lesson Goals:

Today, students review what was previously learned about Multiplying Part of a Part Fractions and part of a mixed Number fractions.

The goals or objectives that students should reach is: being able to analyze word problems correctly, correct use of the methods that we learned in class, and multiplying the original equation to get the correct answer, (as seen on the rubric).

 

Methods

Anticipatory Set:

When students enter the classroom, they will see up on the smart board some practice problems and it will say to get out a separate sheet of paper. 

 

Introduce and Model New Knowledge:

We will model new knowledge by showing students how to solve "Mixed of a Mixed Number" Problems during the warm-up. 

 

Provide Guided Practice:

During the warm-up, the problems that we do will be super interactive and engaging for the students. I will be asking students how to do the problems step-by-step as they will raise their hands to answer. 

 

Provide Independent Practice:

At the start of each problem in the warm up, I will ask students to work on the problem for a few minutes and then we will go over it. 

 

Wrap-Up

At the end of the lesson, we will wrap up by going over the assignment from Wednesday and grade it together.

​

Assessment

Formative/Ongoing Assessment:

Along the way of this unit, we will have assignments that are due weekly like the one we did on Wednesday. 

 

Summative/End Of Lesson Assessment:

At the end of this unit, we will take a unit test which will assess how to multiply and divide all different types of fractions and creating models, how to multiply and divide decimals.

Unit Description

For the first part of every day, students are asked to gather into a circle for our morning discussion. We do this everyday to improve our students communication skills. There will also be an activity with every lesson to make it more interactive. 

 

Lesson Description for Day

Today, we are starting with some simple questions and an activity that will build better relationships in the classroom. 

The activity is really simple. Each student will receive a piece of paper that has a squiggle line or a shape. They have to dig into their imagination and draw something out of it using the line that is provided! Drawings should take less than 3 minutes. After each student has completed their drawing, we will share them with the class in a circle and do another one if they have time!
