Math+Carnival+Taks+Camp+2011

Please use this as you plan your lesson. We want our lessons to be creative, hands on, FUN and FOCUSED! Lessons are due on Thursday at the planning meeting so that we can all get our copies made on Friday. Please have them ready. We will each //__briefly__// describe our lessons at the meeting on Thursday. (about 2 min each person). Bring TAKS questions you are using. You are creating the lessons that you are teaching. (with some exceptions). We are //__reviewing__// in hopes of getting one more thing in their brains. Oh yeah, remember our theme too! Lol Carnival!
 * __Objectives and Notes __**


 * **__Objectives __** ||  **__Notes from TAKS __**  ||  **__Teacher preparing the lesson. __**  ||
 * Compare and ordering numbers || Which number fits in the blank box (like on the mock taks) 2-4 digits. Charts.  || Hurts  ||
 * Money || Identify and count money - We still have some students who have trouble identifying coins. We could also do some adding and subtracting with word problems or picking the correct answer in coins/bills where they have to count each one. Keep in mind that counting money takes a long time for some students.  || Vargas  [[file:MONEY.docx]] ||
 * Time/Temperature || Students need to be able to choose the correct time/temperature from answer choices. Students get stuck on the hour hand when it’s in between two numbers.  || Vargas  [[file:time and temperature.docx]] ||
 * Shapes || Identify, compare/contrast similarities. 2d,3d,quadrilaterals, polygons.  || <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center;">Lopez  [[file:taks camp shapes activity.doc]] ||

**__<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Lesson Planning __** <span style="display: block; font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt; text-align: center;">Please review the lesson plan we are following below. Be very mindful of time and materials used. Remember we want focused/fun lessons with a carnival theme.

<span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">(make sure we highlighting what the TAKS will ask them. Ex: more than less than on fractions. ) ||
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Mini Lesson || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">15 minutes or <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">less || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Quickly create something or hands on games, problem solving etc. ||
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Guided Practice || <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;">10 minutes <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt;"> – students complete these questions with their groups/partners. Teacher walks around to assess and you can give them stamps as they work them out for strategies and correct answers. || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Max 2-4 TAKS questions
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Mini game || <span style="color: red; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">5 minutes || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">This game should have a reward of some sort and it can incorporate what they created in the mini lesson if that is the case. The purpose of the mini game is to get their mind off of the word problems for a bit so that they can come back to the individual practice and do well. Mind break! Should still be on your lesson topic. ||
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Individual Practice || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">15 minutes || <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Max 2-4 questions like the practice ones. Please be mindful of time constraints. ||

**__<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; font-size: 14pt;">Lesson Example: Patterns on a number line __**

<span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">In pairs or 3’s students create a number line at their desk with yarn, index cards, and clothespins. Teacher hands them a note card with a description of the number line they will create. (Ex: create a number line with 3 digit numbers. Your number line must start with the number 348 and skip count by 3’s.) Teacher checks number lines. After all number lines are completed, teacher removes some numbers from each line and students walk around the room with their papers as teacher plays music. When music stops they have to sit at that table and write the pattern and missing numbers for the number line. (play carnival music). Have each group reveal their pattern and missing numbers. Students check their papers. Reward with tickets. ||

Teacher models one problem with strategies. Strategies are written on the board in steps and with pictures for students to review as they complete the practice questions. Must show strategies to get a stamp on each problem as teacher is assessing/guiding. Include 1 fraction number line. ||
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Mini game || <span style="font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">5 minutes || <span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Power point – find the missing number. Flash 2-3 slides with number lines and missing numbers. Students do numbered heads together and report answers on white boards. ||
 * <span style="color: black; font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Individual Practice || <span style="font-family: 'Berlin Sans FB','sans-serif'; font-size: 12pt; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">15 minutes || <span style="font-family: 'Arial Narrow','sans-serif'; margin: 0in 0in 0pt;">Complete 3-4 TAKS questions with strategies to get a 200. (100 points for correct answers and 100 points for strategies on each question) Students sign the 200 and get a ticket. ||
