The main lesson addresses these academic content standards:
DCCS1, CS3
Mathematics
Number and Operation, Content Standard 1: The student interprets and understands multiple uses and forms of numbers and how they relate to each other; fluently uses computational tools and strategies; estimates when appropriate; and solves real-life and career-related problems. Grade 6: The student computes and solves problems involving the addition and subtraction, multiplication and division of whole numbers, fractions and decimals. The student computes and solves problems using percent. The student interprets percent as part of 100.
English
Language as Literature, Content Standard 3: Students use language and symbol systems (e.g. timelines, maps, graphs and charts) to define problems and organize information. Grade 3: The student produces a report that: *develops a controlling idea or theme that conveys a perspective on a subject; *includes appropriate facts and details; *excludes extraneous and inappropriate information; uses a range of appropriate strategies, such as providing facts and details, describing or analyzing the subject, and a relevant anecdote.
The student produces a narrative of procedure that establishes a context and develops a reader interest.
MD3.0, 6.0, 6.5.1, 6.5.7
Mathematics
Knowledge of Number Relationships and Computation (6.0): Students will describe, represent and apply numbers and their relationships and will estimate and compute using mental strategies, paper/pencil and technology. 6.5.1: By the end of grade 5, students will apply strategies to solve problems with fractions and decimals; identify and describe the relationships among fractions, decimals and percents; compute percentages of 10, 20, 25, 50 and 100 percent of a number.
Language Arts
Writing (3.0): Students produce informational, practical, persuasive and narrative writing that demonstrates an awareness of audience, purpose and form using stages of the writing process as needed (i.e. pre-writing, drafting, revising, editing and publishing). By the end of grade 5, students know and are able to create a clear organizing structure that includes descriptions placed in a logical, chronological or narative sequence in ways that help the reader follow the line of thought.
VA5.3, 5.7, 6.1
Mathematics
Mathematics, Computation and Estimation 5.3: The student will create and solve problems involving addition, subtraction, multiplication and division of whole numbers, using paper and pencil, estimation, mental computation and calculators. Number and Number Sense 6.1 The student will identify representations of a given percent and describe orally and in writing the equivalence relationship between fractions, decimals and percents.
English
Writing 5.7: The student will write for a variety of purposes to describe, to inform, to entertain and to explain. *Organize information. *Use vocabulary effectively. *Vary sentence structure. *Revise writing for clarity.
