Class Procedures: Start the class of giving them the new module and homework packet. We will start the class by
going over the new note packet together so they understand it will be graded. Fill out pages 1-3 of guided note
packet. Then we will do a Box and Whisker Plot foldable together as a class. They will then complete the problem
on the back of the foldable individually. Then together as a class we will fill out page 4 of the note packet. Then we
will play a game as a class called Are you Greedy. We will record the data from the game as a class and build a
box and whisker plot. Pass out test last 5 minutes of class.

Plans for Assessment: As soon as students finish the foldable they are to complete the problem on the back it, raise
their hand and I will check them off as completing the problem correctly or help them do it.

Plans for Enrichment (i.e., What is my plan for students who finish early?): Work on homework that is due next day.
Plans for Remediation (i.e., What is my plan for students who need additional support?): Walking around the room
to help. Working with partners for the foldable. Go over answers as a class.

Reflection on your preparation and execution, as well as on student learning and behavior, etc.: I feel this class went
really well. The students were well engaged throughout the entire class and they really enjoyed the game we played.
I think the only thing that I would change is passing out the test earlier so student had a chance to go over it.
