Math Concept: Converting data to percentages and graphs. KUSD standards: Standard A, representation, reasoning, and problem solving. Materials: Big construction paper, data (collected before), calculator, ruler. Pre-lesson: There was no pre-lesson, she just gave the directions and the students began working with their partners. Introduction: She asked questions about their project they have been doing and then told them they will be putting it all together to create a flip chart. Then they began discussing the details. Group Work: They worked as a class to figure out data and conclusions but then were assigned partners for the flip chart process. Concluding activity: She told the students their homework. They have to go home tonight and ask 3 people their opinion on recycling. Assessment: The majority of their assessment will be on their presentation at the end of the week, because all the information is correct because they did it as a class. Adaptation: She had to double check her answers because some were wrong compared to the students answers. Ideas: Using a flip chart project.
