Pay attention to the R-words to activate the brain for learning!

1. Objective (Rigor) - SMART and should be visible on your board daily.

The students will be able to write, interpret, and explain statements of order for rational
numbers using a number line, and compare and order fractions, mixed numbers, decimals,
and percents.

● I CAN locate rational numbers on a numberline.

● I CAN compare two or more rational numbers.
● I CAN order a given set of rational numbers from least to greatest.

2. Opening (Retrieval) – How will you "hook" your students into the lesson--at both the thinking and
emotional level?

● What will you do to open the lesson to motivate and engage the students’ interest in the content?
Ask students to search for the temperature in different cities and let one student record all on the board.
On a common number line on board, I will plot all the temperatures given by the students . This activity
helps students see the relevance of comparing integers in their daily lives.

● How will you help students make connections to prior knowledge?

Prior knowledge that larger numbers are to the right and the smaller numbers are to the left on a number
line should be touched upon briefly.

● How will you identify and present your essential questions, Central focus, and Learning Targets (I CAN
statements)?
By giving them a pair of integers, I will introduce the number line and the comparison aspect of the
lesson. Then I will do the same with simple rational numbers which are easy to locate and then moving
on to harder ones.

● How will you identify / teach / assess language demands?

Each time I use an academic language, I will write on the post and place it on the word wall.

● How will you introduce language support?

Students will have easy access to the word wall which will be displayed clearly.

● Is your opening congruent to the objective?

Yes, my opening is congruent to the objective. I have introduced several academic words and displayed
them on the word wall. Students can relate the topic to the real world. I can add another activity ,time
permitting . Students will be hooked on the topic of comparing rational numbers .

3. Teacher Input (Relevance) – What information is needed for the students to gain the knowledge/skill in the
objective? (Be sure you have done a task analysis to break the information/skill into small manageable steps).
How will you use strategies, technology, learning styles? What vocabulary and skills do the students need to
master the material? Are the strategies you plan to use congruent to the objective?

Work with number line models

Learn order of the numbers
Locate integers and rational numbers on a number line
Compare integers on a number line
Compare rational numbers on a number line

● Model (Routing) – Outline your I DO activities. Be sure to model strategies and academic language support
needed.

Do a few examples on the board for everyone to watch. Put the given set of integers from least to greatest.
step 1: Create a number line from -10 to 10
step 2: Plot the numbers on the number line
step 3: Order the integers from least to greatest from the number line.

Also watch some related videos.

● Guided Practice – Students demonstrate a grasp of new learning under the teacher’s direct supervision.
The teacher moves around the room to provide individual remediation as needed. “Praise, prompt, and leave”
is an excellent strategy to use. Outline your WE DO activities. Be sure to incorporate strategies and academic language
supports that are needed.
Do a few examples together for - Comparing and ordering decimals on a number line.
- Comparing and ordering rational numbers on a number line.
- Converting fractions to decimals.

● Independent Practice (Retaining/Rehearsing) – Students demonstrate an independent application of

new skill. Outline your YOU DO activities. Students demonstrate an independent application of new skills. Be
sure to praise and assess strategies and academic language supports that are being used.

Hands-on, curriculum aligned math worksheets to be turned in before the end of the class.

● Check for Understanding (Recognizing) – Practice doesn't make perfect; it makes permanent. So,
make sure the students understand how to proceed before moving to the practice phase of the lesson. You may
need to stop and reteach, so students practice correctly. How do you plan to assess understanding? What
HOTQs will you ask? List at least 3

1. If you know the order from least to greatest of 5 negative rational numbers, how can you use that
information to order the absolute values of those numbers from least to greatest? Explain.
2. Explain how you would order from least to greatest three numbers that include a positive number, a
negative number, and zero

3. Luke is making pancakes. The recipe calls for 0.5 quart of milk and 2.5 cups of flour. He has 3/ 8 quart
of milk and 18/ 8 cups of flour. Luke makes the recipe with the milk and flour that he has. Explain his
error.

● How will you check for understanding or reteach?

Ask a few ‘Agree’/’Do not Agree’ questions with students responding with ‘thumbs up’ or ‘thumbs down’.
Then follow up with one question that shows an understanding of the concept taught. Have students write their
answers on cards and collect them. Sort cards into piles: Got it, Almost There, and Re-Teaching Needed. Divide
students into groups based on their answers and keep teaching.

4. Assessment – How will we know that the students have individually mastered the objective? What
evidence will be collected? What will be an acceptable score? What evidence will be collected to demonstrate
mastery of language demands?

Students will take a mixed review Assessment on schoology to show their mastery of the objective. They will
get two attempts. A score of 80% or higher will be acceptable . The assessment will have essential questions
which the students have to answer in their own words .That will suggest their mastery of language.

5. Resources - What materials will you need for a successful lesson?

● Number line
● Elmo document camera
● Schoology
● Quizizz- online learning platform with assessment instruction and practice.

6. Closure (Re-exposure) – How will you have the students end the lesson/reflect upon what was learned?

1. 3-2-1 exit slip

2. ‘I CAN… ‘online self assessment scale on google.
