Integrated Lesson Plan: Math & Social Science
Mathematics
Grade Level: Third
Metric System of Measurement
Length: 50 minutes
To introduce the metric system of measurement
To show conversion of units by powers of ten
To measure in metrics
To convert from one unit of measure to another
Activities:
Day 1- Introduction to the metric system
The teacher will show to the class a ruler, meter stick, measuring tape, a clock, a stopwatch, bottled glasses with volume indicators in it, a market weighing scale, and a personal weighing scale.
Teacher will introduce these materials as devices that determine measurement under the metric system.
Discussion will focus on key measures in the metric system: meter (m) for length, kilogram (kg), liter (l) for volume, and second (s) for time.
Teacher will show to the whole class the conversion of meter, kilogram, volume and time units by powers of ten.
Day 2- Mystery Box: Measuring in Metrics
Teacher will prepare 3 different boxes (of varying sizes) with various items: fruits (grapes, strawberries, oranges), bottles indicative of liquid materials (labeled as "corn oil" and "milk"), and some cotton cloth.
2. In addition to the different boxes, each box will have measuring devices in it: a measuring tape, weighing scale, and stopwatch.
3. Students will be grouped into three, and each group will be assigned a mystery box.
4. Teacher will assign,...
will measure the contents of the box using the measuring tape and weighing scale
b. will record all the correct measurements of all items in the box
c. will monitor how long the group accomplishes the task (timekeeper)
5. Each group will report on the results of their measuring activity.
6. Teacher and the whole class will confirm if each group's measurement per item in their respective boxes are accurate and correct.
Evaluation:
Day 1: As an exercise, students will measure, using the devices/materials brought by the teacher, various items in the classroom. Students will decide which unit of measurement is most appropriate for each item being measured. Teacher will monitor the activity in small groups, guiding the students on the appropriate measurements possible for the item they have selected in the classroom.
Closure:
Day 1: The teacher will give the students group homework, to find and measure one item appropriate for each unit of measure: meter, liter, kilogram, and second.
Day 2: As homework, the teacher will ask each members of the group to convert the key measures of the items in their mystery boxes into other units: meters to centimeters, kilogram to gram, liters to milliliters, and seconds to minutes.
Integration:
In the social studies class, the teacher will integrate the Day 2 lesson in mathematics to the topic, "understanding the economy of the local region." Teacher will show again to the class the contents…
In the most recent study, conducted by Philliber Research Associates for the Hartford Foundation for Public Giving 188 children enrolled in 14 childcare centers were evaluated and findings report significant gains for children in the 'Creative Curriculum' classroom. These children "made statistically significant gains in the cognitive/language profile, motor profile, and self-help profile over what would be expected of children of the same age during the same amount of
Lesson Plan Example for 5th Grade Creating an effective lesson plan is a fundamental skill that educators must develop to ensure successful instruction. A lesson plan serves as a roadmap for both teachers and students by providing structure and a clear sequence of activities aimed at achieving specific educational goals. The process of creating a lesson plan can be broken down into several key steps, which, when followed carefully, can
Lesson Plan Critique -- Parts of Speech (3rd grade) Lesson Plan -- Parts of Speech Thank you for sharing your lesson plan with me. I enjoyed reviewing the plan and visualizing the lesson being taught in your enthusiastic classroom of third graders. I have provided an overall summary of what I see as the strengths and weaknesses of the lesson plan. I have also given specific suggestions about ways to change out
Corporate communications involves not just the message, but the idea that communications are managed, and are connected to corporate objectives (Cornelissen, 2004). Therefore, when communication possibilities were limited, corporate options were limited, and one did not see communications management perspectives that advocated the type of intimate connection between communications and corporate strategy that one sees in a modern context (Cornelissen, 2004). What this makes clear is that CC is
Using "Stage One: Rubric for Group Invesigative Roles" can be helpful here, a grading rubric that stresses the ability of students to present information aloud and on paper to with sources correctly cited, with understanding, etc. During the performance, students should be assessed not simply on acting ability, but as denoted in "Stage Three: Rubric for Peformance," that they can understand and morally evaluate what is going on, such
Communication objectives can help by first focusing the company's efforts on a specific market and its unique needs, and the specific products of interest. In seeking out this connection of customers to products, IMC strategies have a higher potential for success. 3. In the case, BatesManor Furniture, inc (a), what is the purpose and role of advertising, promotion, and personal selling in the household furniture industry? The furniture industry is one
