*Anticipatory Set
Announcements: New procedures in class. Getting attention, talking during notes, new
write up on board, Quiz next class. Introduce word problem of the week.

*State the Objectives (grade-level terms)

I can solve word problems concerning percent change and simple interest as evident by
an 80% or better on my concept check.

*Instructional Input or Procedure /Modeling/Guided Practice

Students will be broken up into small groups (less than 15 and spend half the class with
each teacher. They will complete notes and guided practice.
Percent Change Group (Wissmann) Simple Interest Group (Sheldon)
TSW complete the percent change TSW complete the simple interest notes
notes section with the guidance of the section. Then, students will practice solving for
teacher. Then, the student will complete interest. Student will then complete several
5 examples about percent change. On examples finding rate, principle, and time using
the back, students will pair off and I=prt.
complete Boss/Secretary for an
additional 7 problems.
*Check for Understanding
Teacher will be checking for understanding using either the angle of understanding or
thumbs up/thumbs down.

*Independent Practice
Homework: Percent change do 4, simple interest do

Assessment
Concept check: Two word problems on simple interest and two on percent change.

*Closure
Ask: What is simple interest? What is percent change?

Classroom Management Issues (optional)

Desk will be rearranged in two horse shoes around two different boards.
A1: A2:
Sergio and Adison separate. Najat and Sarah should be together.
Autumn not with Indya, Nia, Kiara, Ronsha. Micah, Romel and Eric should be separated.
Kerri not w/Kiara. Cai and EJ should be separated.

Lesson Critique. To be completed following the lesson. Did your students meet the objective(s)? What part
of the lesson would you change? Why?
Bell ringer went too long, perhaps start notes sooner. We could have spent longer going over notes and examples. The
concept check at the end of the lesson is perfect to split students up into small groups for next class.
