Robotics General Lesson Plan. The object of this lesson is to show the teacher how robotics can be used to enrich and expand an already exciting lesson in any discipline. Listed on the next page are Milestones, points at which the project can be viewed to determine its progress. Also listed in the chart are suggestions for evaluation and points to be awarded. All of the suggestions are simply that, suggestions. No one knows better than you, the teacher, at which points you want to grade the students, how you will grade them or how much. Sometimes, however, a fresh point of view can be stimulating and provide a different outlook. We hope our suggestions may do just that. The robots are designed to be a part of a lesson and not an end in themselves. In science they may help demonstrate a theory. In math they can be used to test an algebraic formula or with ratios and proportions. In History they can be used to recreate an invention or a famous castle or building. In English they can be a book coming alive. They even play music and can be programmed as far as tones or time signatures. Their use is limited only by the imagination of the teacher or student. Robotics reintroduces fun to learning. The robots serve as a focal point for a lesson and a way to bring a group of children together and enhance their social skills. What better way to learn then have fun and talk while doing work.

Overall, what was her success rate for free throws in this game? Suppose a middle school student responded to the above problem by writing: . Evaluate the student's answer. Is the addition of ratios and fractions comparable? Do the ratios 1:3 and 7:8 add to yield a success rate equivalent to that of 2:6 plus 7:8? Why or why not?

Ratio, Proportion, and Mount Rushmore: Sculpting on a Monumental Scale (Grades 6-10) February 21 Not exactly what you think of when you picture a scale modelunless of course you are Gutzon Borglum. The artist's workshop at the Visitor Center at Mount Rushmore houses this scale model that Borglum used. One of the visitors (actually, the photographer's son) is lifting a heavy jackhammer to get an idea of what the workers used to carve the monument. Have you ever wondered how Mount Rushmore, in the Black Hills of South Dakota, was carved? Carving a mountain is not quite the same as taking a hammer and chisel to a block of marble. While the block of marble may be large and imposing, the sculptor can move around it. This is not how you can handle things if you want to tackle a mountain in South Dakota! Yet this was the problem Gutzon Borglum encountered when designing the famous memorial to four presidentsGeorge Washington, Thomas Jefferson, Abraham Lincoln, and Theodore Roosevelt.

But if "Time that Period!" cannot be completed, please refer to the following: Math Students should have learned some pre-algebraic concepts such pattern recognition, ratios, proportions, decimals, and percents. Science Students should have had an introduction to the concepts of stars and space astronomy. Time Requirements For each class of students, you will probably need at least 2 periods/mods.

[Text Version] Unit Plan for Ratio, Proportion, and Percent Curriculum Unit Plan Mathematics Seventh Grade Unit 3: Ratio, Proportion, and Percent Abstract In this unit students learn to reason proportionally. Proportional reasoning provides an underpinning for the study of algebra in future years. Students learn to think in relative amounts as expressed by ratios and rates (e.g., 15 miles/gallon, 4/3). When students perceive relationships involving growth, unit costs, etc., they are thinking proportionally. They learn how to apply ratio and proportion to many daily activities such as sales tax, the relationship between hours worked and earned income, actual distances between cities compared to map distances, and unit pricing at grocery stores. Percents are studied as ratios in which the divisor is 100, and students apply percent in many practical situations. Unit Title Ratio, Proportion, and Percent

Literature Connection: poem " One Inch Tall " from the book Where the Sidewalk Ends by Shel Silverstein Mathematical Strand: Number Topic: Students will incorporate their conceptual understandings of proportions to write a creative piece similar to the example poem. Grade Level: Lesson Created by: Shelley Faerber, Susan B. Anthony Middle School, Manhattan, KS. Lesson Description: Materials: copy of the poem "One Inch Tall" by Shel Silverstein 1. Launching the lesson Read the poem/show copy on overhead or provide copy to students Discuss what would be encountered if we were all one inch tall in our classroom. What would be an obstacle? What would be fun to do? How would we use different items in the room? 2. Developing the lesson Brainstorm items in the room that are only one inch tall. Brainstorm items in the room/world that are approximately 64 inches tall? Now consider what items in the world might be 64 times taller than you? Your writing assignment today is to write a poem or paragraph where you describe what the sights, sounds, and surroundings of a specific area if you were either 1-inch tall or 64 times taller. You are either extremely small or extremely tall. Make sure your descriptions are true proportionally. RECAP: You have three very important decisions: 1)Are you small or tall 2) Where are you 3) What would you use and describe the surroundings?
