Blended Learning Lesson Plan

Lesson Title: Extend it: Order of Operation

Objectives:

Students will be able to solve real world problems using Order of Operations.

Students will be able to solve multi-step problems using Order of Operations.

State Standards:

7.EEI.3 Extend previous understanding of Order of Operations to solve multi-step real-world and

mathematical problems involving rational numbers. Include fraction bars as a grouping symbol.

Context: I am teaching this particular lesson because it is a standard for all seventh graders to

know this. This will help students in math in their future careers in and out of school. Prior to

this, students have become familiar in recognizing algebraic expressions and determining an

appropriate form in real- world situations. They also have learned mathematical properties such

as commutative, associative, and distributive. With this being said, students will use what they

have learned in this section and portray their skill within this lesson. To prepare for the next

lesson, we are going to be working on applying the concepts of linear equations and inequalities

in one variable in real-life. We will also be applying the concepts of linear equations in

mathematical situations. After this lesson, we will follow the state standards and move in to

linear equations.

Data: Students will be grouped by their previous exit slip on what they learned. According to

their grade and how much information they contained, their group will be in 4 sections: students

that struggled, 2 groups of students that know the average content, and one group on students
who are ahead of the game. There will be an exit slip like any other day, that will determine how

they will be grouped the next day.

Materials: Worksheets, iPads, Smartboard, Pencil, Paper, Computers, Exit slips.

Procedures:

Introduction (15 minutes): I will start my class by greeting everyone and letting the

students get settled. Then I will give them about roughly 5-7 minutes to do a warm-up question

dealing what we learned the previous day. I will then take about 3-5 minutes to go over the

problem and answer any questions for review. The last 5 minutes of class I will separate them

into their groups and give instructions for the groups.

Teacher Directed (20 minutes): The group that I will be instructing will be the students

that are behind and have difficulty understanding the content. I will do this because I can make

them understand the content first and they will have a better understanding when working in the

other groups. I will have a worksheet that will have multiple problems. I will go over the first

few and then let the students work on the sheet independently. When they are finished, I will

then ask them to go to the smartboard and answer them. I will then go over each problem after

each student goes up to answer the question.

Collaborative (20 minutes): In the collaborative group, we will have the two middle

groups. They will start by picking a partner. They will then login to edpuzzle.com

to watch a video on how to do the lesson we are working on their computers. While watching

the video they will be answering multiple questions about the video as well as math problems.
Their job is to answer as many questions right at the end of the video. They will then compare

their grades to their partners. Whoever has the highest grades will get 3 extra points on their next

math test. This encourages them to be efficient as well as have fun with math.

Independent Digital (20minutes): The students that are ahead of the game will be at the

independent station first. This is because they already know most of the content so they will need

less instruction or help. They will be on Khan academy watching a video of the content on their

iPads (https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra-basics/basic-alg-foundations/alg-basics-

order-of-operations/v/order-of-operations-1).While watching the video, the student will need to

be taking notes and listing the steps on how to solve the problem. There will be two different set

of notes. The notes with their problems will be kept for themselves. I will go around and check

them and the notes of the steps will be collected to hang on the wall. Different students have

different ways of solving, when students can list the steps, that means they have a good

understanding of the problem. IF they are done early (some videos will be short), they can get on

their iPads and continue to watch khan academy videos.

Closure (15minutes): The class will return to their seats when I ring the bell. We will

then go over what we learned at each station. I will then collect all the worksheet assignments

that I have not collected as well as check their notes from the station. I will then ask the students

if they have any questions relating to the lesson. Students will ask their question and I will

answer them. Once there are no questions, I will then pass out an exit slip with 4 questions. The

exit slip will determine their groupings the next day.

Rationale:

Edpuzzle.com
 This is used in the Collaborative station. I chose this website because it is an educational

website that allows students to watch videos and answer questions. It shows students their grade

and whether they got the question right or wrong. It supports this standard and objective because

it relates to our topic. It is high quality because I have had experience with it. It is free of error

and bias. When watching the video it has specific goals such as answering the questions. It gives

feedback on whether you correctly answered the question. Their design motivates students to

finish answering all the questions. It is consistent and you could always go back and re-watch the

video. Overall it relates to state standards.

This video was used in the independent digital station. This piece of media gives students

a better understanding on the content. It is high quality overall. I have also used this piece in

previous work, and I liked how it gave different examples of math problems. This relates to the

standard because it covers the topic. There is no bias or any type of errors. Their goal is for you

to learn and engage with the video. The video is creative and motivates students to watch the

video. You can always go back and watch the video. Overall, it gives a great example of

problems and relates to state standards.https://www.khanacademy.org/math/algebra-basics/basic-
