Lesson+3

Third Lesson Plan

Lesson Plan for Friday April 15th Grade Level: 5th grade Area of Study: Math, mean, median, mode, range Duration: 45mins-1hour

Objective: Students will find the mean, median, mode, and range of the speed, length, and duration of all three roller coasters.

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 complete finding the mean, median, mode, and range. They will be finding all four of these for the speed, length, and duration of all three roller coasters they have researched on Monday.

Materials: -Calculator -Notebook paper -Pencil

Introduction: //Morning class! We finished our research on Monday so today most of us will be working on finding the mean, median, mode, and range. Up here on the board is how Ms. Cara and I arranged on a graph our data. You all should arrange your data the same way. Lets get started! If you have any questions we will be walking around to help you all.// Procedure: -We make the students aware that they are finding the -mean -median -mode -range For the speed, length, and duration of all three roller coasters -We will show them on the board how we set up our chart with our data -(students will already know how to find the mean, median, mode, and range so we wont go over those) -We will inform the class that if they need help we will be walking around for any questions they need answered. -If we have students who have finished we will have them begin finding the velocity and acceleration for one roller coaster of their choice.

Assessment: Today we can assess them on how well they stay on task and follow directions. We can also assess them on how well they are able to graph their data and if they have done it correctly.
