Lesson Idea Name: Math in the community
Content Area: Mathematics
Grade Level(s): 4th
Content Standard Addressed:
MGSE4.MD.2 Use the four operations to solve word problems involving distances, intervals of time, liquid
volumes, masses of objects, and money, including problems involving simple fractions or decimals, and
problems that require expressing measurements given in a larger unit in terms of a smaller unit. Represent
measurement quantities using diagrams such as number line diagrams that feature a measurement scale.

Universal Design for Learning (UDL): We will be engaging in the content using various materials, including a
video, textbook, anchor charts, and handouts to support all students learning needs. The students will be
creating a movie of an interview with an adult discussion the use of mathematics in everyday life. This would
include creating budgets, cooking, or shopping.
Representation: Clarify mathematical terms, vocabulary, and symbols: Students can integrate the use of
technology and in class discussion.
Action and Expression: Optimize access to software and technology: Students will receive instruction and
support for making a video using iPads in the classroom before taking home to do recording for assignment.
Lesson idea implementation:
Teacher will introduce fractions and use of technology to make recordings as a whole class. Class discussion of
terms and technology and Q and A will be done before proceeding. Students will watch a video of fractions
with money, weight, and length, then ask if there are an other questions.
Teacher will go over use of technology and app use; making videos and taking pictures, with teacher assistance
in small groups. iPads will be supplied to students. Students will proceed to make videos of themselves or a
peer asking interview questions, as a practice before completing assignment at home.
At home, students will interview a parent/guardian regarding mathematics in the real world. If needed, students
can use example questions given in class.
Teacher will use the information from the interviews to continue discussion of fractions, by using selected
videos to allow students to create word problems or examples from: recipes/budgets/shopping lists. The teacher
will then create diagrams/charts/posters from the information from the students to display on the class
webpage and also in the classroom.

The use of technology is crucial in completing this activity. Although students can take notes of the interview
the video recording allows the other students to experience an authentic response to questions. It also allows
students to share their family life and possibly other languages. This will also allow students to take the
information first hand and create a chart/graph/diagram/list from it for further use.
Inspiration (optional): none
Internet Safety and Student Privacy:
During this process, I will have students record a video for the class to view. To do this safely, the school and I
must only display the videos for the class and not publish on any other website. Parents/guardians must sign a
waiver for the student to use the material in the class. I would monitor students work in class and preview
recording before presenting to the class.
Reflective Practice:
We will be using the videos to present to the class that each child has created. This allows students to
experience math in a real setting and gain information and the importance of the material of the content. The
extension of learning from the videos gives the students the opportunity to manipulate information into
multiple ways of representation.
