Lesson Plan 7th Grade Math

A. Standards: INTASC standards: EDU 202

Standard #4 (Content Knowledge) The teacher understands the central

concepts, tools of inquiry, and structures of the disciplines he or she teaches and

creates learning experiences that make these aspects of the discipline accessible

and meaningful for learners to assure mastery of the content.

Standard #8 (Instructional Strategies) The teacher understands and uses a

variety of instructional strategies to encourage learners to develop deep

understanding of content areas and their connections, and to build skills to apply

knowledge in meaningful ways.

CCSD Standards: Adding Integers

7.NS.A.1b Understand p + q as the number located a distance |q| from p, in the

positive or negative direction depending on whether q is positive or negative.

Show that a number and its opposite have a sum of 0 (are additive inverses).

Interpret sums of rational numbers by describing real-world contexts.

7.NS.A.1d Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract

rational numbers.

1. Objectives: Students will be able to use a number line to add integers.

Students will be able to understand and explain the rules of adding

integers.

Students will be able to create an integer story with a number line to

represent their story.

ARTIFACT #3 3

2. Learning Styles: Auditory; lecture, peer review. Visual; smartboard examples,

worksheets, foldables. Kinesthetic; cutting and gluing, filling in

worksheets, working with peer groups.

B. Materials/Equipment:

Smart Board or Elmo, Thermometer worksheet, Adding Integers Printout,

Number Line Practice Worksheet, math journals, pencils, scissors and glue,

scratch paper, grading rubric.

C. Procedures:

1) Introduce lesson with number line, have students help you create a number line

on the whiteboard. If they prompt to start at 0, lead into what happens if the

number line continues in this direction (-)? Talk about integers, +/- numbers. Ask

for real world examples of how we use positive and negative numbers.

Students may give temps, money, sports, etc. Have them discuss an example of

how it can be + or in each situation.

2) Pass out warm up Thermometer worksheet. With little instruction, have

students fill in thermometer based on given information on worksheet. Use this

time to move around class to see how students fill in the thermometer and how

they arrive at current temperatures.

Students will work independently to complete warm up.

3) Have a group discussion about the worksheet, student questions or

observations, then have students turn to shoulder partner and discuss their answers

and how they solved them.

Students will share various ways of solving warm up.

4) Transition into lesson; tell the students that they used addition of integers to

complete the thermometer. By the end of the lesson the students will be able to

understand and add integers using a number line. Use Elmo to project Adding

Integers worksheet. Start working through problems as a class, calling on several

students to explain how they would solve different problems. +/+ first, then -/-,

and finally discuss what happens when you have 2 different signs.

Students will actively participate in solving addition of integers. Students may

observe and begin to comment on patterns and rules that they see.

5) Transition to independent work. Explain that they are ready to try a few

problems on their own. As the students work through the problems, they need to

pay attention to any patterns that they see. Students will need to transfer those

patterns into rules for adding integers. Pass out Number Line Practice worksheet.

Students will complete worksheet independently.

6) Review worksheet and discuss, as a class, the rules that they have created.

Prompt students to take out their math journals and make a new section on

Integers. Define integers on vocabulary page and title a new page for Integer

Operations, cut and glue foldable and complete rule for addition.

Students will write rules for adding integers based on classroom discussion, but

worded in a way they are comfortable with. Students that finish quickly help those

that may still need to finish.

D. Closure:

The lesson will end by students completing an exit task for dismissal. Explain that

the exit task is similar to the thermometer worksheet. Review how the
ARTIFACT #3 5

temperature changed up (+) and down (-), starting at one temperature and ending

at another. The students need to come up with an integer story that contains 4

events involving + and number changes. They will also need to draw and label a

number line that represents their story.

Students will complete their exit task on scratch paper and turn in before leaving

class.

E. Assessment:

The students understanding of the lesson will be assessed by the exit task

measured by the grading rubric. If learning objectives were understood, the

completion of the exit task would reflect a level 2, if the learning objectives were

mastered, the completion of the exit task would reflect a level 3 on the grading

rubric.
