Fourth Lesson Plan

Lesson Plan for April 18th Grade Level: 5th grade Area of Study: planning skills Duration: 30mins

Objective: Students will finish their calculations for mean, median, mode, range, and velocity and acceleration. Students will plan out their flip chart on construction paper. Students will check their work and make sure everything is ready to for them to be prepared for the lab next time.

Standards: KUSD Standard A: Mathematical Process-problem solving Standard B: Number operations and Relationships-number concepts/computation

Rationale: Today the main goal is for the students to finish their calculations if they have not. They will then create on a piece of construction paper their flip chart (a rough draft version of their final piece they will do on active inspire).

Materials: -Pencil -Paper -Calculator -Construction Paper -Computers

Introduction: //Morning Class! Today we are finishing up our calculations for our roller coaster madness project! Everyone has pretty much completed their calculations for the mean, median, mode, and range. So now we are going to solve for the velocity and acceleration of your favorite roller coaster you have researched. Then once you have finished you and your partner can take a piece of construction paper and do a rough draft version of your flip chart.// Procedure: -We will walk students through how we figured out the acceleration and velocity of our favorite roller coaster. -We will then have the students solve for the velocity and acceleration of another roller coaster, so they can practice before working on theirs. -Now, students will work with their partners to finish their calculations. -After they are finished we will announce to the class that we are handing out a piece of construction paper, so they can make a rough draft of their flip chart. -Once they have finished their planning they will need to get it checked with us. -We will approve and collect their rough drafts till we go into the lab.

Assessment: Today we will assess the students by their participation in the beginning when finding the acceleration and velocity of our roller coaster. We will then assess them on how well they stay on task when working with their partners. We will also make sure both partners are working together and not just one person doing the work.
