| Full lesson | Create for a teacher a set of content for giving a lesson, beginning with the lesson plan. Each new block of materials must begin with an H1 heading (other subheaders must be H2, H3, etc). When you describe required pictures, write those descriptions in curly brackets, for example: {A picture of a triangle} |

TEK 7.2 - Proportional Relationships
Middle School (Grades 6-8)
Mathematics
20 students
This lesson aligns with the U.S. Common Core State Standards for Mathematics, specifically focusing on ratios and proportional relationships.
| Step Number | Step Title | Length (minutes) | Details |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Introduction to Topic | 5 | Briefly introduce proportional relationships, with examples from real life (e.g., recipes, maps). |
| 2 | Direct Instruction | 10 | Teach how to identify proportional relationships using tables, graphs, and equations. Explain cross-multiplication. |
| 3 | Guided Practice | 5 | Work through a couple of examples as a class, solving proportions. Invite participation but keep it structured. |
| 4 | Independent Practice | 5 | Distribute handouts with problems for students to solve individually. Monitor progress. |
| 5 | Homework Explanation | 2 | Explain the homework assignment that reinforces the day’s lesson, ensuring comprehension. |
| 6 | Check for Understanding | 3 | Quickly review homework questions without student presentations. Use a poll to gauge understanding. |
| 7 | Conclusion and Recap | 5 | Summarize key concepts of the lesson, answer any remaining questions, and reinforce the importance of proportional relationships. |
Assign 5 problems from the textbook related to proportional relationships. Provide students with clear instructions and ensure they know how to complete the homework independently.
Informal assessment will be conducted through observation during guided practice and the understanding check at the end of the lesson. Homework will be reviewed for correctness but not presented in class.
