Martin MATH 6A – PER 2 & 6 SCIENCE/HEALTH – PER 3 &4 PIRATE COLLEGE ACADEMY Period 1 STANDARD 6AF1.1 Write and solve one-step linear equations in one variable. 1g. Students will know how to determine the epicenter of an earthquake and know that the effects of an earthquake on any region vary depending on the size of the earthquake, distance, geology, and construction. 1.0 I want you to be able to solve problems that involve fractions. LEARNING OBJECTIVE Calculate and solve problems involving one – linear equations in one variable. Students will explain how a seismograph records an earthquake and understand how to locate an earthquake’s epicenter. I want you to tell me what a fraction is and how it is used. Use your Cornell notes to show me what you have learned. AGENDA Introduce chapter 3-3 Solving Multiplication Equations Lecture using CD and DVD Brain Pop on Equations Small group activities on Internet over Chapter 3-3 material. Introduce chapter 6-3: Measuring Earthquakes. Check foldable, pg 243. (6-3) and vocabulary words must be on it. Show Brain Pop on Earthquakes. Look at Movie Earthquake 10.0 Chapter 1-3 Sign the Social Contract Show Brain Pop on Comparing Fractions. DO NOW ACTIVITY Do the warm up problems on the blackboard. Get your Cornell notes out or your foldable and take notes. Get out your Cornell notes and foldable and be prepared to take notes for the lecture. Put your seismograph models on the tables. Take out your work book and work with your study buddy to ensure you have lesson 1-3 completed. Circle all the problems you wish the teacher to explain in detail.
