Lesson Plans

Name Description
I Vote, You Vote, We Vote:

In this lesson, students will analyze voting data and perform mathematical procedures to determine the answer to specific questions. Students will compare the population of the community vs. the number of votes counted. Students will discuss the contribution each citizen is making when voting and the effects on the results when citizens do not vote.

Plot, Order, and Compare Dates in History:

Students will apply their understanding of place value to plot, order, and compare event descriptions related to key figures in history. The key figures used in this lesson are James Madison, Alexander Hamilton, Booker T. Washington, Susan B. Anthony, William Pope Duval, William Dunn Mosely and Josiah T. Walls. Students will make connections between using a number line to plot, order and compare numbers, to real-world careers that use timelines for historical purposes in this integrated lesson plan.

What Decade is It? - Rounding Whole Numbers to the Nearest 10:

In this lesson, students will tap prior knowledge of place value and dimes to round numbers to the nearest 10. Students will use number lines with tick marks in increments of 10 to visualize the closer decade and then progress to using the place value of numerals to round to the tens place. Pairs of students will participate in a rounding activity using a number line.

Jumping Beans: Adding with Open Number Lines:

Students will use the open number line as a strategy to add within 1,000. The lesson begins with a formative assessment that evaluates students' strategies for efficiently solving addition sentences within 1,000. In order for students to have practice reinforcing the skill, students will complete the guided practice with open number lines, as well as playing the game, Jumping Beans. To conclude the lesson, students will evaluate a solution to an open number line problem.

Cars for Sale MEA:

Students will compare multi-digit numbers to create a procedure for choosing the best car for Edward Easy to buy for his driving school. They will have to weigh quantitative and qualitative factors to determine the best car to purchase. Students will present their recommendations and the steps to the procedure they created in writing and orally.

Model Eliciting Activities, MEAs, are open-ended, interdisciplinary problem-solving activities that are meant to reveal students’ thinking about the concepts embedded in realistic situations. MEAs resemble engineering problems and encourage students to create solutions in the form of mathematical and scientific models. Students work in teams to apply their knowledge of science and mathematics to solve an open-ended problem, while considering constraints and tradeoffs. Students integrate their ELA skills into MEAs as they are asked to clearly document their thought process. MEAs follow a problem-based, student centered approach to learning, where students are encouraged to grapple with the problem while the teacher acts as a facilitator.

Problem-Solving Tasks

Name Description
Rounding to 50 or 500:

The purpose of this task is to answer multiple questions regarding rounding. There still may be students who laboriously list every number; the teacher should encourage a more thoughtful approach.

Ordering 4-digit numbers:

It is common for students to compare multi-digit numbers just by comparing the first digit, then the second digit, and so on. This task includes three-digit numbers with large hundreds digits and four-digit numbers with small thousands digits so that students must infer the presence of a 0 in the thousands place in order to compare. It also includes numbers with strategically placed zeros and an unusual request to order them from greatest to least in addition to the more traditional least to greatest.
