students will have an opportunity to
communicate appropriately and in a
mathematical fashion. A focus is on
using proper vocabulary.
To Adopt Effective Work Methods:
During the lesson, students are
expected to work as effectively as
they are able to. This includes
participating during class
discussions and interactive
activities.
Broad Areas of Learning:
Personal and Career Planning:
Students will have an opportunity to
develop their mathematics abilities
in a larger fashion. From this, they
can use the concept of decimals to
assist them within their personal
growth as a person. From a
perspective of their career, students
will require mathematical skills to
acquire reputable jobs.
Universal Design for Learning/
Differentiation:
This lesson contains a variety of
learning styles that appeal to a wide
range of individuals.
Students may share their knowledge
verbally during the class discussion;
students may also share their
2
knowledge through the written
assignment.
As I will be circulating, any
questions/ concerns that are brought
up will be assisted when needed.
By connecting to real world
examples (money), students will
consistently be interested to learn.

the lesson is being taught that will
encourage them to continue
participating in all areas possible.
They will understand what their
strengths are and will be encouraged
to participate in areas that they are
not so strong at.
FORMATIVE - Assessment AS learning:
Students will consistently be
learning and displaying this learning
throughout the lesson. This lesson
involves numerous interactive
components that encourages
students to share their work.
With a worksheet at the end,
students are given an opportunity to
practice and further develop their
skills. While the teacher is
circulating, they will have a great
opportunity to assess the abilities of
the students.
Students can connect what they
learned during the lesson to the
questions on the worksheet.
SUMMATIVE - Assessment OF learning:
In this lesson, the focus for a
3
summative assessment is on the
worksheets that the students
complete. They will be put into their
“math duo tangs” and their “math
interactive workbooks” which will
be collected and utilized as evidence
of their achievements.
Further considerations (follow up activities)
As we further explore decimals, students will have a chance to look at common forms of decimals. Follow up
activities can be aimed at the inclusion of money (coins) to represent real life decimals.
