Lesson Breakdown

Instructional 21 Lesson How can we perform basic math in JavaScript?


Day Title

Standards
Addressed

Description Computers are excellent machines for performing mathematical


operations.

Prior Knowledge Functional knowledge of initializing and assigning variables, receiving


user input and printing a message to the screen.
Proficiency with mathematical operations of addition, subtraction,
multiplication, and division.
Understanding of the remainder in a division equation.

Planning Notes If students lack a working understanding of the concept of division


and remainders, review it with warm up problems that produce a
remainder.

Teaching Learning ● Do Now:


Strategies Math Problem #1: You are a camp counselor and want to figure out
how groups you will have in the camp. The number of people in the
camp is equal to people and the number of people in a group is
equal to peoplePerGroup. Write an equation that demonstrates
how you would solve for the number of groups.
● Have students share their equation on the board or with a
partner and identify the mathematical operations used to
determine the answer. Prompt student thinking by providing a
value for people and peoplePerGroup to ensure that
their equations are correct. Direct students to solve for a
problem in where there is a remainder.
● Watch Basic Math in JavaScript video.
● Walk through example exercises Simple Calculator, Dollars to
Pounds, Dividing Up Groups
● Prompt student thinking by asking how variables and user
input are used in the sample exercises. Guide students to find
patterns in which functions are used to perform math and
display the result as a message. Students should note that
variable is initialized to either readInt or readFloat
