Lesson Plan Template rev 1/22/18

Date: Spring 2018 Teacher’s Name: Jennah Jacobs

Subject: Math Grade level: 7

Unit: Ratios and Proportional Relationship Length of lesson: 45 minutes

Central Focus: Students will find proportional ratios using unit rates.
Lesson Title: Finding equivalent ratios given the total quantity
For unit, _3_ out of __3:

Essential Question(s): depends on type of lesson/unit; stimulates thinking and inquiry

What makes ratios equivalent?
Learning Standards: NYS content standards, professional standards (CEC, NCSS etc.)
Learning Standards: Math: 7.RP.1
Compute unit rates associated with ratios of fractions, including ratios of lengths, areas and
other quantities measured in like or different units. For example, if a person walks 1/2 mile in
each 1/4 hour, compute the unit rate as the complex fraction 1/2/1/4 miles per hour,
equivalently 2 miles per hour.
Reading Standard Grades 6-8 #9 Compare and contrast the information gained from
experiments, simulations, video or multimedia sources with that gained from reading a text on
the same topic

Pre-Assessment: Determines prerequisite skills and knowledge students have about the lesson
Completion of Units 1 and 2 and knowledge of cross multiplication

Learning Objectives: describes appropriate Assessments: Ways of evaluating each

learning outcomes to be attained during learning objective
class that are clear and measurable (Use The independent worksheet focuses on
action verbs) finding equivalent ratios and will be used as
Students will the assessment.
 use tables to find an equivalent ratio
of two partial quantities given a part-
to-part ratio and the total of those
quantities, in the third column,
including problems with ratios of
fractions.

Differentiation: Adapt or modify instruction, materials, and/or environment to meet specific

characteristics and special needs of students (e.g. ELL, gifted learners, students with disabilities)
Student will still be using their nonlinguistic from the last two lessons: tape diagram and
compare chart

Academic Language: Provide components of language that students need to learn and use in
specific content areas. Teachers need to consider: vocabulary, language functions (eg. analyze,
 Lesson Plan Template rev 1/22/18

interpret, argue, compare, identify), syntax (e.g. sentences, graphs, and tables), and discourse
(oral and written language).
 Vocab: ratios, unit rate, compare, equivalent, cross multiplication
 Syntax: sentences and numerical proof
 Discourse: Written Proof

Procedure:

Anticipatory Set (hook, motivation, etc. to engage students)

a. Activation of prior knowledge
b. Sara runs at 8 miles per hour. She thinks it will take her 45 minutes to complete a
10k if she can run at a steady pace.
c. Note 10 kilometers is about 6.21 miles.
d. Is she right? If not how long will it take her.

Initial Phase
a. Instruction(direct or indirect)

Lesson Title: Finding equivalent ratios given the total

quantity

Essential Question: What makes ratios equivalent?

SWBAT: use tables to find an equivalent ratio of two

partial quantities given a part-to-part ratio and the total
of those quantities, in the third column, including
problems with ratios of fractions.

Do Now: Answer the following question

Sara runs at 8 miles per hour. She thinks it will take her 45
minutes to complete a 10k if she can run at a steady pace.
Note 10 kilometers is about 6.21 miles.
Is she right? If not how long will it take her.

b.
c. Answer the questions on slide 2 for the do now in order to review the do now
d. Pull up Emma’s candy problem (Slide 3)
e. Have students copy the chart into their notebooks
f. Ask what the tape chart would look like (answer on slide 4)
g. Ask students how much candy Emma will get for her five chores, give them 2-3
minutes to think about it before taking answers
 Lesson Plan Template rev 1/22/18

h. Show the tape diagram on Slide 5 and see if anyone wants to change their
answer before clicking to show them the chart
i. Have them fill in the rest of the chart on their own (should take 15 minutes)
j. After 15 minutes or when everyone is done, go to slide 6 to see if everyone got it
correct
k. Start Guided Practice Question (Slide 7)
l. Have them fill in a chart with what they know (5 minutes)
m. Pull Up slide 8 with What We Know chart
n. Have the students find the missing values (20 minutes)
o. After 5 minutes start walking around to help. Give hints like what is the unit ratio
of the adult’s weight on earth to their weight on the moon?
p. After 20 minutes or when everyone is finished, go to slide 9 to check if they are
correct
q. Pass out independent Worksheet (Equivalent Ratio Practice)
r. Questions not finished in class are for homework

Middle Phase
a. Practice (guided, independent)
b. Guided
c. Problems in Slideshow
d. Physics tells us that weights of objects on the moon are
proportional to their weights on Earth. Suppose a 180 lb
man weighs 30 lb on the moon. What will a 60 lb boy
weigh on the moon?
e. Answer 10lb ratio 6 to 1

f. Independent

Concluding Phase
a. Closure/Summary: Action/statement by student(s)/teacher to wrap up lesson
b. Discuss uses: Baking: increase or decrease recipe but proportions must stay the
same

Follow up: What comes next to reinforce the lesson (HW or supplemental instruction)
Finish independent worksheet

Materials: (items, technology, etc.)

Worksheets
Projector
