Learning Styles

•

Visual: 30% of students

•

Auditory (hearing/visual): 20% of students

•

Kinesthetic (hands on/physical): 70% of students

State Objectives: Objective elements •

Audience: March 2010, McGrath High School, 7th grade mathematics class

•

Behavior: Students will be able to identify regular fractions, describe what a fraction is and consists of, identify a numerator and denominator, add fractions with the same denominator, add fractions with different denominators, identify a mixed fraction, add mixed fractions with same denominator, identify equivalent fractions, compare fractions with same denominators and compare fractions with different denominators.

•

Condition: Taking notes in class from transparencies and examples on boards, using computers and the internet, making projects from bulla’s, drawing and cutting on construction paper, doing this in groups of 24, notes will be available at 1st and then taken away.

•

Degree: students will have two different quizzes, students should get an 16 out of 20 questions correct on each or will keep taking different forms of the quizzes until do so.

Objective Statement(s) The 7th grade mathematics class at McGrath HighSchool will be able to identify regular fractions and describe what a fraction is and what they consists of. These intelligent seventh graders will also be able to identify a numerator and denominator on every fraction and will use that information to add fractions with the same denominator and different denominators. These students will also be able to identify a mixed fraction and use them to add with same denominator. Finally the 7th graders will identify equivalent fractions, compare fractions with same denominators and compare fractions with different

denominators. The students will use their notes, computers, projects, construction paper, and group work to study the information needed to succeed. These students will be able to prove that they have learned this information by testing on two proficiency tests and getting 16 out of the 20 questions correct.

Select Media, Materials, & Methods: List Media and Materials to be used in the lesson: •

Exam/Worksheet: two 20 point proficiency quizzes, one quiz involves adding fractions, the other quiz involves subtracting fractions, and both quizzes involve identifying all kinds of fractions; a final chapter test involving all the information in the lecture.

•

Transparency: involves notes, lectures, examples and pictures for the class as a whole to see.

•

Non Projected Interactive Media (ex. Interactive bulletin board): The kids will create a bulletin board involving items that they know about fractions before the lesson and then they will create the other bulletin board in the classroom of new items in which they learn about for fractions.

•

Power Point Instructional Project: use the power point presentation as an introduction to the lesson plan and as a review before the chapter exam.

•

Extras (ex: guest speakers, video tape, computer, lcd panel, etc.): Projects using construction paper by cutting out fractional portions, bulla project developing how to add and subtract fractions, computer used to create fractional pictures and using websites to practice problems.

Utilize Media, Materials, & Methods: I am going to begin my lesson on fractions by showing my PowerPoint presentation so the students will know what to look for in the lesson. In evaluation I will assign the kids to go home and create something that they can put on a bulletin board that they think they have that will represent a fractions or something they already know about fractions. Then I will begin the lesson by using transparencies to give basic definitions, show pictures of certain fractions and give background information on the lesson on fractions and the notes the kids will need in their notebooks. I will allow the kids to explore on the computers to see what they can find out about fractions. I will have each student work in groups of six and create a college about fractions from information or pictures they find on the computers. The next steps I will take is having each child use construction paper and cut out certain fractions that I tell them and compare them to each student (larger, smaller, how much, etc). The next step in my lesson will be to bring in the nutribulla project. I will bring in two bags of nutribullas for the class to have for a party; only the nutribulla eats half every night up to the party. The students will use charts and graphs and add and subtract fractions to find out how much bullas is left for their party. Two times through the lesson, I will give two quizzes and the students will have to get 16 out of 20 or they will keep taking it on their recess time until they do. Finally at the end of the lesson a chapter test will be given to see how much the students know. Periodically throughout the lesson, students will be creating another bulletin board showing what new items they are learning about fractions. Require Learner Participation: Each student will also be graded partially on his or her participation. I will get these children involved through the projects and games that we will play. The computer collogue will have to involve each member of the group. I will be walking

around the classroom observing all members of all groups. The construction paper project will involve each individual person as they come up with their designated fraction and will also involve group work, as they will compare with other people. The nutribulla project will also involve the students as each member will create either charts or graphs involving the bulla or they will not get any bulla for their party. The reward will be the bulla, which will encourage many seventh graders to participate. There will also be participation while the lecture on transparencies is given as random students will be called on to answer questions or do examples on the board (if needed, with assistance). Evaluate and Revise: •

Evaluate student performance: quizzes, chapter tests, projects (quantity, quality, and presentation), participation, verbal quizzes, and real life scenarios/projects.

•

Evaluate media components: other teacher evaluations from the looks of projects, student evaluations (hard vs. easy, interesting or not, good idea or not), and suggestions from students, parents, or cooperating teachers.

•

Evaluate instructor performance: peer evaluation, student evaluation, cooperating teacher evaluation.
