DAILY LESSON PLAN Instructional Group Size: 28 (5th Grade) Subject/Activity: Mathematics/Measurement ______________________________________________________________________________ Essential Question(s): What units

are utilized within the Customary Measurement System? CCGPS Standard MCC5.MD.1 Convert among different-sized measurement units within a given system and use these conversions in solving multi-step, real world problems. Objectives: Students will be able to convert appropriate units of weight within the customary system. In order to demonstrate mastery, students will complete the performance tasks with 75% accuracy. Procedures Introduction Mini Lesson: As students enter the classroom, they will be given an index card that contains either a customary measurement problem or an answer. Once students have settled into their seats, the teacher will (TTW) say, Today, we will be completing a variety of tasks which will require each of you to apply your computation and reasoning skills we have been practicing throughout this unit. To warm up, you will need to communicate with your classmates in order to find the match that completes the pair resulting in both a question and answer. Implementation After completing the mini lesson, TTW give instructions for the station activities to be completed. TTW say, I have already divided the class into working groups. Together, you are to complete each station activity. You will have about 15 minutes for each task. The teacher will then read aloud the following instructions for each station: Station 1: I HaveWho Has (weight) 1) Distribute the cards evenly between all team members. 2) The team leader will read aloud the First card marked, Start Here. 3) The group will work together to convert the units of weight for each problem and glue down the questions in order on chart paper. 4) Mrs. Gough will evaluate during teacher-student conference. Technology Station/Option 1: My first weighing exercises HD iPad APP ($1.99) https://www.appolearning.com/app_reviews/128-my-first-weighing-exercises-hd This app offers challenges for all elementary students by enabling players to navigate difficult concepts with simple gestures. This allows students to measure and compare weights of various fruits using a virtual scale.

Station 2: Fill My Bucket (capacity) 1) Give each student a Fill My Bucket gallon sheet. 2) Classify the bucket cards: cups, pints, quarts 3) Students will take turns drawing cards from the Capacity Cards pile in an effort to be the first to fill the bucket (one gallon) without spilling over. 4) When time is up, students are to record the total capacity on their card. For example, one student might have 2 quarts and 2 cups when time runs out. 5) The teacher will evaluate Fill My Bucket gallon sheet during the teacher-student conference. Technology Station/Option 2: Best Measurement Math iPad APP ($0.99) http://appfinder.lisisoft.com/app/best-math-measurement.measurement.html This is the best apps for measurement conversion. Every question is given certain time frame (default is 30 sec) for children to answer. The correct answer will add 50 points while wrong answer will minus 50 points. Every problem comes with explanation of the solution Station 3: Length Task Cards 1) Give each student a Task Card Recording Sheet. 2) Students will work together to complete AT LEAST 8 of the 12 task cards and fill in answers/responses on the recording sheet. 3) Mrs. Gough will evaluate during the teacher-student conference. Technology Station/Option 3: Kids Measurements iPad App ($0.99) http://appfinder.lisisoft.com/app/kids-measurements-age-6-8.html Kids Measurements provides an interesting visual math teaching for children that will help them improve his or her measurement skill. It has been a amazing addition to their schooling needs.At the same time, it makes learning fun! Station 4: Whats Being Measured 1) Give each student a Whats Being Measured tree map and Measurement Phrases box sheet. 2) As a group, read each example carefully and discuss which unit of customary measurement (weight, length, or capacity) does the phrase refer to. 3) Glue the phrase under the correct unit. 4) Mrs. Gough will evaluate progress during the student-teacher conference. Once groups have rotated through all the stations, they will engage in an interactive online matching game of all customary measurements on their computers. http://www.sheppardsoftware.com/mathgames/measurement/BestMeasure2.htm While students are working independently, the teacher will call one group at a time to conference and evaluated their station performances. Checking for Understanding: The teacher will check for understanding by monitoring and assisting students throughout station activities.

Evaluation: The teacher will evaluate that the students were able to complete the customary pair measurement problem during the mini lesson. In addition, the teacher will evaluate all stations above to make sure the students mastered each with at least 75% accuracy. Closure: TTW say, Over the last week, we have been investigating and learning about the customary system of measurement. We have classified and converted customary measurement units that are specific to length, weight, and capacity. Tomorrow, you will complete the unit summative assessment followed by the unit culminating project the next day. As you exit the class, I want you to write one question you still have about the customary measurement system OR one comment as to what have enjoyed the most about this unit (ticker-out-the-door).
