Each CLC group member must locate a different video lesson that involves teaching ratio or proportional reasoning.
As a group, discuss whether each lesson observed:
Has a clearly identifiable objective;
Is aligned to the CCRs;
Supports the "big ideas" stated in your text;
1. Fostering student thinking that a ratio is a distinct entity, different from the two measures that make it up;
2. Facilitating multiplicative rather than additive comparisons; and
3. Developing proportional thinking by having students compare and determine the equivalence of ratios and solve proportions through problem-based contexts rather than based on formulas.
Differentiates and addresses the diverse needs of students;
Includes an informal and/or formal assessment. If so, does the assessment align to, and measure, the objective?; and Discuss any appropriate revisions.
Select one of the videos, and as a group, use the Class Profile to create a lesson plan using the COE lesson plan template that incorporates the revisions.
Submit a copy of the lesson plan, the link to the video, and rationale of 500-750-words that summarizes the group's evaluations of the lessons and supports the revisions.
