OBJECTIVE(S)/STANDARD(S) CONNECTION TO ACHIEVEMENT GOAL(S)

What will your students be able to do? How does the objective connect to the goal(s) you
Reference Common Core or your state’s have for your students this year?
standards, as applicable.
Students will be able to: Students will understand that rates, ratios, and
- Compute unit rates associated with ratios of proportional relationships:
fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas, - Express how quantities change in relationship
and other quantities measured in like or to each other
different units. (7.RP.A.1) - Can be represented in multiple ways
- Recognize and represent proportional - Can be applied to problem solving situations
relationships between quantities (7.RP.A.2) such as interest, tax, discount, etc.
- Use proportional relationships to solve - Can be applied in solving problems involving
multistep ratio and percent problems scale drawings of geometric figures
(7.RP.A.3)

PREREQUISITE SKILLS DIAGNOSTIC

What will your students need to know to master How will you assess students’ mastery of these
the grade-level objective? foundational skills?
Students need to be able to: Student’s understanding and mastery of the
- Understand the concept of a ratio and use foundational skills is determined from the MOY
ratio language to describe a ratio relationship iReady exam.
between two quantities (6.RP.A.1)
- Understand the concept of unit rate and use
rate language in the context of a ratio
relationship (6.RP.A.2)
- Make tables of equivalent ratios relating
quantities with whole-number measurements,
find missing values in the tables, and plot the
pairs of values on the coordinate plane
(6.RP.A.3a)
- Understand a rational number as a point on
the number line (6.NS.C.6)
- Express whole numbers as fractions and
recognize fractions are equivalent to whole
numbers (3.NF.A.3c)

ASSESSMENT
How will you know whether your students have made progress toward the objective? How and when
will you assess mastery?
Exit Tickets
- Students will be assessed at the end of each lesson (2 45-minute classes) to check understanding
of the content. Any misconceptions will be addressed when reviewing exit tickets, whether whole
class, small group, or individually.

End of Unit Assessment

- The end of unit assessment will be given at the very end of the unit to check students’ mastery of the
learned content from the unit. The assessment will consist of 12 questions.

KEY POINTS
Key points are student-facing statements that include important content students needs to know to be
successful in the lesson. What three to five key points will you emphasize?
- Students will be able to solve multi-step ratio and rate real-world problems.
- Students will have an understanding of constant of proportionality and unit rate and be able to
apply that information to graphs and tables.
- Students are able to understand that proportional relationships, ratios, and scale factors are all
connected.

GUIDED PRACTICE (_12_ min.) MATERIALS
How will you ensure that all students have multiple opportunities to practice?
How will you scaffold practice exercises from easy to hard?
Why will students be engaged/interested?
How will you monitor and correct student performance?
How will you clearly state and model behavioral expectations?

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE (_45_ min.) MATERIALS

In what ways will students attempt to demonstrate independent mastery of the
objective?
Why will students be engaged/interested?
How will you provide opportunities for extension?
How will you clearly state and model behavioral expectations?

- Last (Wo)Man Standing markers
o The students will stand at the back of the room and problems are - Laptops
projected on the board. If the students get it correct, then they get to go on
to the next round. If they get it incorrect, they get on the computer on IXL
or iReady to practice the skill (can be a foundational skill, such as
equivalent fractions, or whatever skill we were practicing during the game,
such as proportional relationships in a graph or finding the constant of
proportionality).
- Scoot
o There is a task card on every desk in the room. The students will rotate
around the room solving the problems, and we check the answers together
at the end of class.
- Stations
o There are five stations set up with four to five students in each group.
There is one teacher station where I will be reviewing different concepts
depending on which group I have.

CLOSING (_9_ min.) MATERIALS
How will students summarize what they learned?
How will students be asked to state the significance of what they learned?
How will you provide all students with opportunities to demonstrate mastery of (or
progress toward) the objective?
Why will students be engaged/interested?
Exit Ticket - Eureka Exit
- At the end of each full lesson, students will be given an exit ticket that covers Tickets
the topic for that day. Exit tickets can be reviewed either as Do Now’s, or they - PARCC
may be checked immediately after completing the ticket. Released
Items

DIFFERENTIATION MATERIALS
How will you vary your approach to make information accessible to all students?
Some accommodations I use in my lesson include:
- Read problems aloud
o When students have word problems, I will read them aloud to them
and provide synonyms for certain words in order for students to
understand the content.
- Work with different number of items per page
o For my more advanced students, I will have them complete more
problems, or more advanced problems; and for my low performing
students, I will lessen the number of problems they need to complete.
- Provide fill in the blank notes/ graphic organizers
o This helps students who struggle with organization or keeping up with
the pace of the notes.
- Use a calculator
- Small group testing
- Extended time
- Clarification/ repetition of directions
- Preferential seating
o Students will either be seated in close proximity to me (teacher help
desk), near the front, or be intentional about if they are sitting next to
certain peers that get them off task.
- Frequent breaks
- Timed Check-Ins
o For students who require more one-on-one attention, I plan timed
check-ins for them where I will write on their paper when I will be back
to check in with them, which gives me more time to walk around the
room and work with the other students.
