1. MUSEUM
Talking points: In this lesson, we will investigate how far $38 can go on a field trip to the state museum.

3. Talking points: When given a word problem, take the time to underline important words and terms that may tell you what is expected. Then try to draw a picture or diagram that can be helpful as you solve the problem.

4. Talking point: A common mistake is having a word problem and not taking the time to use your reading and comprehension skills to understand the problem. Often times, students look for the numbers and assume what to do with the numbers. One important key to this is to TAKE YOUR TIME.

5. Here’s a diagram that can be used to help solve “what’s left” problems
Here’s a diagram that can be used to help solve “what’s left” problems. I’ll illustrate how to use the diagram and then we will use it to solve a word problem.

6. Tip: I suggest talking through a basic example where you show how the total works with the parts. For example, “I have $16. I give one friend $8 and another friend $3. How much do I have left?”
In this illustration, I know $8 is half of $16, therefore, I draw my box to indicate that. This helps with my reasoning skills.

7. Jacob has $38 to spend on a field trip to the state museum
Jacob has $38 to spend on a field trip to the state museum. He spends $12 on admission to the museum. In the souvenir store he finds a cap and picture of his favorite statue, which are the same price. If he buys these, he will have no money left over.
Draw a diagram that represents the situation described in the problem. How could you figure out the price of the cap and picture?

8. I really like this diagram, but my concern is that students see it as a fraction diagram and think that all three prices are the same. When you talk about the creation of the diagram, can you say something about that? When you figure out the prices later, can you adjust the picture to show a diagram that reflects the relative sizes of the boxes?

10. 26 _ 2
In another slide after this one, can you maybe shrink down the diagram and show the “math” of how you solved the problem? The steps you take to solve it will be the same that you describe on the slide with the thought bubble.

11. Do you want to change the problem a bit so that Jacob has some money left over?

12. LearnZillion Notes:
--The “Guided Practice” should include 1 practice problem that targets the skill that was used in the Core Lesson. Use the same vocabulary and process you used in the original lesson to solve this problem. You’ll be making a video in which you solve this question using your tablet and pen, so all you need to do is write the question on this slide.

13. Illustrate your work with an authentic piece of art work.
Peter is going scuba diving. On his first dive he descends -12 feet every minute. If he continues to descend at this rate, what is his position after 5 minutes? What is Peter’s position after 10 minutes?
Illustrate your work with an authentic piece of art work.
LearnZillion Notes:
--On the Extension Activities slide(s) you should describe 2-3 activities written with students as the audience (not teachers). Each extension activity should push the students a bit further with the lesson but in a different application or context. Each activity should be designed to take roughly minutes. Teachers will likely display the slide in class and then assign an activity to a student or group for additional practice and differentiation. Ideally, these Extension Activities will be created such that a teacher can differentiate instruction by giving more difficult extension activities to students who have shown mastery of the lesson, and less difficult activities to students who are not yet proficient.
--If you need more than one slide to list your extension activities, feel free to copy and paste this slide!

14. LearnZillion Notes:
--”Quick Quiz” is an easy way to check for student understanding at the end of a lesson. On this slide, you’ll simply display 2 problems that are similar to the previous examples. That’s it! You won’t be recording a video of this slide and when teachers download the slides, they’ll direct their students through the example on their own so you don’t need to show an answer to the question.
