This math class is for students receiving Special Education services that may benefit from a separate setting. The students will learn the same learning targets as their general education peers through a blended learning environment that combines direct instruction, collaboration, electronic practice, and games.
Solving Equivalent Proportions
Grade Level:
7
Subject:
Math
Topic:
Solving Equivalent Proportions
Objective:
"I can find the missing variable in an equivalent proportion"
All students will be able to use a calculator to use cross-products and division to complete two-step problems to find a missing variable (Basic).
Most students will be able answer real-life problems involving equivalent proportions and variables with support (General).
Some students will be able to setup and apply proportional logic to real-life problems independently (Enriched).
Other Information:
This class consists of 5 students receiving Special Education services under IDEA. Their individual skill levels vary considerably, but I try to scale the learning target to meet their needs. For this lesson, all students can participate in the same activities.
Students are allowed to listen to music and chat while they work. They often work together to help solve problems.
The classroom also contains an additional student that has been determined to be kept in a Most Restrictive learning environment. While the other students are working independently or collaboratively, I work with this student on topics such as: safety, making good choices, and behavior management. I typically give this student 20-30 minutes to work on an iPad to take care of an interactive "pet."

If students are misbehaving and not remaining on-task, they will not be able to use computers. Instead, have them complete the "Decimals to Fractions" and "Puzzle Time" worksheets. Remind them of the four class rules : "Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Successful, Be Safe."
Materials:
Calculators (on bookshelf in room). Scratch paper and pencils.
