Targeted State Frameworks/Content Standards/Benchmarks

Math:
- Interpret wholenumber quotients of whole numbers, e.g., interpret 56 8
as the number of objects in each share when 56 objects are partitioned
equally into 8 shares, or as a number of shares when 56 objects are
partitioned into equal shares of 8 objects each.
- Use multiplication and division within 100 to solve word problems in
situations involving equal groups, arrays, and measurement quantities, e.g.,
by using drawings and equations with a symbol for the unknown number to
represent the problem.

Student Objectives/Learning Outcomes

Lesson One:
TSW integrate mathematics into their lesson by measuring and comparing the lengths of their
various body parts such as limbs and head.
TSW analyze the measurements for relationships such as equal to, twice the length, half the
length, and one and a half times the length.
TSW compare measurement data with other students data.
Lesson Two:
TSW be able to identify the various systems of the human body and explain their purpose.
TSW discover how to properly place and identify organs in a playful portrayal of a human
body diagram.
Lesson Three: TSW will be able to accurately describe the potential causes and symptoms of
their assigned disease.
TSW be able to identify certain characteristics that depict either a healthy or unhealthy
lifestyle and will be asked to explain the potential consequences relating to each.
