PRE-ALGEBRA Monday, August 11

LEARNING GOAL FOCUS 1 I will be able to analyze and explain proportional relationships to solve real world mathematical problems.

LEARNING SCALE In addition to level 3.0 and above and beyond what was taught in class, I can:  Make connection with other concepts in math  Make connection with other content areas. I am able to analyze use, and explain proportional relationships to solve real-world and mathematical problems.  Explain the unit rate (constant of proportionality) on tables, graphs, equations, and verbal descriptions  Explain the relationship between (0,0) and (1,r) in terms of the situation.  Represent the proportional relationship as an equation I am able to identify unit rates in tables, graphs, verbal descriptions, and equations to solve real-world and mathematical problems.  Identify unit rate (constant of proportionality) on tables, graphs, equations, and verbal descriptions  Solve a unit rate problem with positive rational numbers With help from the teacher, I can do part of level 2 and 3. Even with help, I would have no success with proportional relationships.

TODAY’S LEARNING TARGET Target 1: Students will understand what is meant by a l earning goal, l earning target and a l earning scale.

WHAT IS A LEARNING GOAL, LEARNING SCALE AND LEARNING TARGET?  Discuss with your partner.  Share what you came up  Difference between learning goal and learning target  Learning scale

WHY DO WE HAVE LEARNING GOALS AND SCALES?  Discuss with your partner  Important to reflect on our learning  How does reflecting on our learning help us?

RATE YOUR LEARNING USING THE SCALE PROVIDED Level 4 In addition to level 3.0 and above and beyond what was taught in class, I may:  Make connection with real-world situations  Make connection with other concepts in math  Make connection with other content areas. Level 3 I will understand transformations and use informal arguments to prove congruency between images using physical models, transparencies or geometry software.  explain the relationship of the angles formed when parallel lines are cut by a transversal  justify the transformation sequence between two congruent figures

RATE YOUR LEARNING USING THE SCALE PROVIDED Level 2 I will understand transformations and identify congruency between images using physical models, transparencies or geometry software.  use vocabulary & find missing angles associated with parallel lines cut by a transversal  verify the properties of rotations, reflections, & translations  identify the rigid transformation sequence between two congruent figures  write statements of congruency Level 1 With help from the teacher, I have partial success with transformations. Level 0 Even with help, I have no success with transformations

SUMMARIZE  Who can define a learning goal, learning scale and learning target?  Why is it important to reflect on our learning?

TODAY’S LEARNING TARGET Target 2 I will learn what is meant by a “rational” number.

DIFFERENT KINDS OF NUMBERS….. Rea Natural Numbers 1, 2, 3, 4…. Real Numbers Whole Number 0, 1, 2, 3, 4…. Integers ….-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3…. Rational Numbers -5/9,.5, 0, 1, 1.4, etc

WHAT KIND OF A NUMBER AM I?

GIVE AN EXAMPLE OF A RATIONAL NUMBER Yup!

SUMMARIZE What is a “rational” number?  All natural numbers or “counting numbers” 1, 2,3, 4….  All whole numbers 0, 1, 2, 3, 4…..  All integers …..-3, -2, -1, 0, 1, 2, 3……  All decimals positive and negative  All fractions positive and negative DID YOU KNOW THAT ALL FRACTIONS WILL EITHER TERMINATE OR REPEAT???????

RATE YOUR UNDERSTANDING Learning Target I will learn what is meant by a “rational” number.
