standard measurement units within a given
measurement system (e.g., convert 5 cm to
0.05 m), and use these conversions in solving
multi-step, real world problems.

Objectives and Subobjectives
Objective:
By the end of the lesson, the student will be able to convert units of measurement.
Sub Objectives:
Students will be able to define a unit of measurement.
Students will be able to list units of measurement from largest to smallest.
Students will be able to convert a measurement to either a larger unit or smaller.
By the end of the lesson, the student will be able to convert units of measurement.
Sub Objectives:
Students will be able to define a unit of measurement.
Students will be able to list units of measurement from largest to smallest.
Students will be able to convert a measurement to either a larger unit or smaller.
Evidence of Mastery
Given a unit of measurement, students will be able to convert to either smaller or larger units of measurement.

Opening
Teacher will state the objective. After, the students will repeat the objective. After the objective, we will repeat the process with sub objectives. When that is done, we will watch a conversion rap video from youtube.
Instructional Input Teacher WillAfter having the students watch the rap video about the conversions and how widely used they are, we will move onto the notebook slides. The first couple of slides are just informational slides that speak to the different types of conversions that are used, ex: time. On the slides, there are the teacher lecture notes that students may drag "mathman" over in order to view. After students have recorded the notes in their math journals, students will be given the King Henry mnemonic to help them remember the order. The next slide states the rules for converting the measurements. The next slide is a staircase that students will write on their index cards. Those index cards will be their notes for the lesson. After students are done copying their note card, students will be given the rules in which to convert the measurement unit. Teacher will model how to use the steps when converting.

Instructional Input Student WillStudents are expected to follow along and use the slides to take notes. Students will write the ladder on their note card.

Differentiation
Students are strategically placed on the rug to enhance their learning. Students that need extra help are placed closer to the teacher, in order for the teacher to give extra attention.
Guided Practice Teacher WillSlide 12 starts the first guided practice. Teacher will model how to use the steps when converting. Teacher will think aloud how to solve the problem. While teacher is working out loud, students will be given the chance to work on their whiteboards while the teacher is working. . Students will play "showdown" in order to give the students a chance to work on the problems.

Guided Practice Student WillStudents will work on the problems while teacher is walking through the problem. Students will write their answer on their whiteboards to play showdown.

Differentiation
Students are strategically placed on the rug to enhance their learning. Students that need extra help are placed closer to the teacher, in order for the teacher to give extra attention.
Independent Practice Teacher WillSlide 13 is the independent practice where the student will complete the problems on a piece of paper. The teacher will walk around and help students that may seem to be struggling.
|
Independent Practice Student WillStudents will complete the practice problems using their notecard that they had made earlier in the lesson. Students will move their token from one unit to another in order to help students keep track of where they are converting to.
|
Differentiation
Students are strategically placed in their groups in order to maximize student achievement potential. Students are placed next to another student that may be able to help.
Closing
Accountability check. I will go over the objective again. Students will give a self check on how well they met the objective today. I will pull sticks to ask how this can be used in real life.
