If of the students respond correctly on peardeck then we will move onto
independent practice. If or of the students answer incorrectly on peardeck then
more examples will be shown to the class. Ask the students what concepts they are
struggling with and work on similar problems together as a class.

Co-Teaching Strategy/Differentiation How will your instruction look different for
those students who need differentiation or accommodations?
Allow students to write their answers to the Peardeck questions on a piece of
paper, whiteboard or use talk to speech on their mobile devices. Create
simpler world problems for students who need accommodations. Highlight,
underline or circle important information and keywords in the word
problems.
Closing/Student Reflection/Real-life connections: What connections will students make to their real
lives? What essential questions will they reflect on in their closure of the lesson?
Class will have a discussion about how our ratios compared to typical gender stereotypes. Through
ratios, students will be able to determine whether our sample was representative of common
stereotypes and then class can have a discussion on why or why not our group was representative. Class
will discuss what factors may contribute to our being in or out of line with the stereotype.
Are the gender stereotypes we discussed in this lesson true?
Does the ratios of our group prove or disprove gender stereotypes? Why or why not?
If our ratios are representative of the larger sample does that make the stereotype 100% true?
