Grade: 7
Technology
tools: Mimio Teach, PowerPoint presentation
Activity
type: Lesson
The lesson was a review of ratios and introduction of
proportions.
I created a very simple PowerPoint presentation with
questions on each slide with a few examples sprinkled in. I also had proportion problems at the
end. As we began the lesson I had the
students give me a definition of a ratio and then had one of the students use
Mimio Teach to write the definition on the PowerPoint. We continued our discussion into proportions
and did the same thing. I had examples
and I had the students come up with other examples to put on the PowerPoint
presentation until we had a good list of all the types of problems you can use proportions
to solve. The students also discussed
and worked the example proportion problems on the Power Point.
I assessed student learning through discussion and by
asking them questions. All students were
involved in some part of the PowerPoint presentation, either writing definitions, coming up
with examples or solving problems.
The activity worked great! All students were engaged and
participating. I might have some process
(popsicle sticks, etc.) to make sure everyone gets gets their turn in a timely
manner.
