Time Process Components

(min)

3 min *Anticipatory Set

TTW welcome students back to class!

TTW play a short video about cause and effect to refresh students memory.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T7uq3g0TVpU&ab_channel=MindBlooming

TTW tell students that we are going to explore a cause and effect situation in math
today!

2 min *State the Objectives (grade-level terms). The student should be able to say:

● I can add and subtract equations that include decimals

● I can use a budget to purchase Thanksgiving dinner
● I can determine the cause and effect that my budget has on Thanksgiving
dinner

10 min *Instructional Input or Procedure

TTW use guided notes to show students how to use sales tax and discounts in
everyday scenarios.

TTW ask students to take out their math notebook.

TTW pass out the interactive note sheet.

TSW glue their note sheet into their math notebook.

TTW instruct students to get out a pencil and colored pencils.

TTW define sales tax.

TSW fill in the word “sales tax” next to the given definition.

TTW have students try the next example on their own.

TSW complete the example.

TTW walk around to see how students are doing and answer any questions they may
have.

TTW have students try the next example on their own.

TSW complete the example.

TTW walk around to see how students are doing and answer any questions they may
have.

TTW go back to the document camera to solve the given problem.

5 min *Modeling

TTW display a word problem on the board that solves for sales tax.

TTW read it aloud for students.

TTW walk step-by-step through how to solve the problem which could include
adding, subtracting, and multiplying decimals.

TTW display another word problem on the board that solves using a discount.

TTW give students time to solve themselves.

TTW ask for a student volunteer to solve the problem on the board.

TSW come up and solve the problem.

TTW ask the class “Do we agree with their answer, thumbs up or down?”

TSW respond.

TTW transition into our check for understanding.

10 min *Check for Understanding

TSW take on the role of grocery shoppers!

TSW work in their table groups of six.

TTW remind students how we work with one another in a group setting.

TSW be given a budget of $110 to spend at a local grocery store.

TSW use their budget Planning Worksheet to determine that the cause of having a
 Mason 9

budget can effect what they are able to purchase for Thanksgiving dinner.
TSW first work as partners in their group and be given one of the stores price list.

TSW determine the products to purchase, use the coupons given, and prepare their
part of the budget plan.

TSW have to consider the various prices at the different stores in order to decide
what items are the most cost-efficient to buy at which store.

Once their planning is done, the group will come back as a whole to decide which
products to purchase at which store.

TSW show the teacher their plan to ensure completion and they will be given the
official budget challenge.

15 min *Guided Practice

TSW complete the budget challenge!

TSW utilize their pre-grocery shopping planned budget in order to finalize their
Thanksgiving dinner purchases.

TSW have to use coupons and have to incorporate sales tax into their final purchase.

TSW take turns in their partner pairs sharing what they decided to purchase from
their store.

TSW as a group decide which product to buy from which store in order to stay in
budget.

TSW complete their purchases and turn in their budget challenge sheet to the
assigned bin.

5 min *Independent Practice

TTW have students open their Chromebooks to schoolgy.

TSW complete the assignment “Take Me Shopping”

TSW submit assignment for grading.

10 min *Assessment (formal or informal)

TTW informally assess students by having them present their Thanksgiving

purchase.
 Mason 10

TSW share their budget, how they planned what items to purchase at which store,
and what the cause (budget) had on the effect (items) of their choices for
Thanksgiving dinner.

TTW note how their budget was spent, their knowledge of cause/effect, and collect
their group work to check for understanding.

TTW ask students “How do you think using a budget can help you in the future?”

TSW respond.

TTW have students fill in a statement as an exit ticket.

TTW congratulate the students on being such savvy shoppers!

Differentiation Strategies (enrichment, accommodations, remediation, or by learning

style).

Advanced Learners: Could have been given sheets with higher grocery store prices as well
as a higher sales tax to compute larger numbers.

Struggling Learners: Be small group based with the teacher, they are given a more direct
instruction. The teacher walks them through how do we know whats cheaper, how can we use
the coupons, and how are we applying the sales tax.

Learning Styles:
Visual- video on YouTube that breaks down cause and effect, grocery store price lists,
interactive math assignment page, notes page that was completed step-by-step
Verbal- instruction; students followed along by writing in their notes, they were able to ask
questions, given explanation of what was expected in group setting
Kinetic- students were able to come up to the board to solve a practice problem
