Students create input-output tables to find numerical patterns and relationships in the real world through the process of making lemonade.

Students will create and solve equations with variables on one side before comparing the equation with another to determine at what rate they will be equal.

Students will compare fractions with unlike denominators to determine whether a given answer to a real-world problem is correct using context and computational skills.

Students determine by using fractions which fourth-grade teacher ran the farthest. 

Students will be able to creatively and confidently solve one-and two-step problems involving multiplication and division, including interpreting the remainder. In addition, students will be working collaboratively by using critical thinking and activating prior knowledge to solve math operation skills in a real-world situation.

Students will be able to understand how to determine the numerical relationship of numbers in a function table.

Students will collaboratively practice identifying and graphing slope and y-intercept.

This lesson is designed to allow students to use strip diagrams, standard algorithms (long division), partial product, partial quotient, or area models to solve multi-step equations.

Students will explore frequency tables, dot plots, and stem and leaf plots by creating different representations from a given set of data points.

Students will use division to create a remainder scenario using materials provided.

Students will solve division word problems including problems where they are required to interpret a remainder.

Students will work collaboratively in small groups to create number lines, and then use those number lines to model a real-world situation.

Students will compare and order decimals using baseball batting statistics. Through discovery, students will determine the top six out of eleven players to be recruited for the school’s baseball team, present their findings, and explain reasons for their orderings. From students’ explanation, strategies for ordering decimals will be determined and used to adjust subsequent lessons.

Given one representation of a linear relationship, students will create a poster displaying the other three representations of linear relationships.

Students will evaluate and interpret data from both tabular and graphical forms to create a linear equation in either the form of direct variation (y=kx) or slope-intercept form (y = mx + b). Students will then use their findings to interpret the meaning of both slope and y-intercept using a real-world relationship in word form.

Teachers will engage their students in classifying 2-dimensional shapes through a real-world experience. Students will review, design, and use technology as they classify figures using common attributes.
