Competency: Analyze relationships among numbers and the four basic operations, compute fluently, and make reasonable estimates.

 

Objective: Compare and order integers, decimals to the nearest thousandths, like and unlike fractions, and mixed numbers using >, <, and =.

 

Materials:

Index cards

Cords

Paper clips

Clothespins

 

Procedure:

Give groups of students nine index cards with a single digit written on each. Arrange the cards to form the greatest and least value. Use symbols > or < to compare numbers. Have the students write both numbers in word and expanded form.

 

Give groups of students three index cards with a single digit written on each and one index card with a decimal point. Arrange the cards to make the greatest and least decimal numbers possible. Use symbols > or < to compare numbers. Have the students write the displayed numbers in all three forms.

 

Stretch a strong cord such as a small diameter clothesline across the room. Prepare ten 5 * 9 index cards with whole numbers, fractions, and decimals written on them. Using paper clips or clothespins, place four or five cards on the line in correct order from least to greatest. Pass out the remaining cards to a group of students and have them pin or clip their card in the proper position on the line. The observing students should check the line and explain reasoning.

Standards:

Mississippi Mathematics Framework Content Standard: Number and Operations

Competency/ Objective: 1c

NCTM Standards: 1.1, 1.2 & 1.3

INTASC Standards: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 & 10

NCATE Standards: 1, 2, 3, 4, & 5

 

Competency: Analyze relationships among numbers and the four basic operations, compute fluently, and make reasonable estimates.

 

Objective: Identify factors and multiples of whole numbers.

 

Materials:

100s charts

 

Procedure:

Students should realize that multiples could be a result of “skip counting.” Provide opportunities for students to find missing multiples.

 

Provide a copy of a 100s chart to each student and prepare a “Sieve of Eratosthenes” to define the prime numbers between 1 and 100. To prepare the Sieve, first, cross out 1 because it is neither prime nor composite. Circle 2, 3, 5, and 7. They are the prime numbers between 1 and 10. Using different colors, shade a portion of each square that contains multiples of 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, and 10.  Circle all the numbers that are left. They are the prime numbers between 1 and 100. Have the students write observations on what they discover. Then, have them make connections between this and the divisibility rules.

 

Assessment Rubric:

Students will be assessed by how well they can identify factors and multiples of whole numbers. They will do so by finding the prime and composite numbers. They must perform with 80% accuracy to have mastered the concept.

Procedures:

Explain the divisibility rules stating that “divisibility” means able to be divided without having a remainder. Display these rules and test a variety or numbers to 500.

 

Students will distinguish prime numbers and composite numbers on a hundreds chart by highlighting the composite numbers and circling the prime numbers. The prime numbers are divisible only by itself and one.

 

Assessment Rubric:

Students will be assessed by how well they distinguish prime numbers from composite numbers. They must perform with 80% accuracy to have mastered the concept.

Procedure:

Use fraction strips to demonstrate addition and subtraction of like and unlike fractions.

 

Use pattern blocks to show students how to add and subtract like and unlike fractions and mixed numbers.

Use fraction calculators to verify results.

 

Prepare index cards with decimal numbers. Have the students select two index cards. Using the calculator, find the rule product and record. Select a second card and find the product using the calculator. Continue until the rule for multiplying decimal numbers is discovered. The product will have the same number of decimal places as the two factors combined. Discuss products that end in zero.

 

Students will solve word problems that require division with a remainder. They will decide the necessity of either dropping the remainder, use it as part of the answer, or use it to round the quotient up by 1.

 

Assessment Rubric:

Students will be assessed on how well they can add and subtract fractions, solve word problems using division, and find the product using a calculator. They must perform with 80% accuracy to have mastered these concepts.

The product will have the same number of decimal places as the two factors combined. Discuss products that end in zero.

 

Using the school library or internet, have students find the population of Miami and the seating capacity of the Joe Robbie Stadium, home of the Miami Dolphins. Have pairs use compatible numbers and estimation to write a fraction with the seating capacity of the stadium as the numerator and the population of Miami as the denominator. Ask the students to write the fraction in the simplest form. Have think about how this fraction might affect Miami residents who would like to get tickets for a Dolphins game.
