Learning Outcomes: Strand: Number (Number Concepts and Number Operations) General Outcome: Students will: Demonstrate a number sense for whole numbers, common fractions, mixed numbers, decimals, percents and ratios; explore integers and apply arithmetic operations to solve problems in everyday contexts. 7. generate and verify equivalent fractions to solve problems that involve adding and subtracting fractions with unlike denominators [PS, R, T, V] 8. convert among fractions, decimals and percents concretely, pictorially and symbolically [CN, PS] 9. assess the reasonableness of calculations and problem-solving strategies, using a variety of tools and/or strategies; e.g., estimation, mental mathematics, tables, graphs, calculators and/or computers [CN, E, PS, R, T] Students will: Will, using measurements of real objects, create and solve their own fraction question. Using a model Create and build a construction paper Norman helmet, employing imperial measurements in fraction form. Your purpose today is to look at a situation from the perspective of someone else.

Assessment: Success for an individual students are: Students time focused on writing out all the steps. Notes will be tidy, and students will be double checking steps. Completing the calculations for the triangle. 4. Closure (5 min) Behavioral Expectations: Set goal for next class: Finish the helmet construction Students will stay put materials Put materials away away, rather than just leave them out Teacher will model by helping. Class 3 Assessment Methods Preparation (1 min) Behavioral Expectations: Place helmet out on table. Teacher will prepare materials Set out tape measures efficiently. 1. Introduction (2 min) Behavioral Expectations: Continue from 2b Students will listen with no Ipod or electronic distractors. 2. Review Behavioral Expectations: Cheat Sheet information. Students will focus on the tasks Chapter 56: Triskaidekaphobia at hand Teacher will look to provide 3. Continue recreating the helmet different points of focus as the Dissect the pieces Tactile exploration of the helmet lesson progresses. 4 x triangles Teacher to do all calculations 2 x short cross pieces with students. 1 x band Observe: Goal: Day 2b Complete construction. Are the students engaged? Prep for construction mark the location of the butterfly Assessment: clips. Success for an individual Can be coloured students are: Rewrite calculations on each piece Students time focused on Put it all together! writing out all the steps. The cross pieces may need to be darted at the top where Notes will be tidy, and they bend over the helmet point. students will be double checking steps. Completing the calculations for the triangle. 4. Closure (5 min) Behavioral Expectations: Set goal for next class: Students will stay put materials Put materials away away, rather than just leave them out Teacher will model by helping. Create template shapes on construction paper. Use so that long strips will have to be quartered or halved. Triangle: (Need 4) To calculate the base of the triangle divide the circumference by 4: [ ] [ ] [ ]

Calculate the length and width of the remainder. Discuss why it would be important to use the paper as efficiently as possible. Prep for construction mark the location of the butterfly clips. Can be coloured Rewrite calculations on each piece: be aware of what will be visible

To find the center of the triangle divide the base by 2: [ ]

The height of the triangle is 9. Note: 1. Draw the triangle sides with a curve. 2. Have students fold in half along the height line to check. 3. When cutting out the template, fold along the height line so both halves mirror each other. Circumference: (Need 1) Will depend on the size of the paper: The width is The length is . This will need to be divided by either 3 or 4 to fit on the page. Try 3. It will be a challenge because the numbers are not whole numbers. Side supports: (Need 2) Will depend on the size of the paper: The width is The length is 18
