Deal or No Deal Dec. 5

PLC December 5, 2012

Terra, Megan, Jen, Lisa T.

-       Terra showed us Deal or No Deal center from a high, medium, low student

Learning Outcomes

-       Terra explained that the outcome of this center was that students would be able to estimate and add using decimals to the hundredths place.

-       She showed us how they started estimating first with flyers and then moved on to adding with decimals.

-       She asked the group how she could take this center and push it forward

Feedback

-       Differentiated instruction

-       Authentic - using real life situations (i.e. food flyers)

-       Modeled examples  (posters, journaling)

-       Different expectations for each learner (lower- just single digit estimating, higher- estimating and calculating with decimals

Next step

-       Students have a budget of $300 to spend on holiday wish lists

-       Use various flyers to do this

*Some students may get disappointed looking at all the toys and wishing they had them so we thought we could frame the question as making a wish list for gifts or food for Miriam our sponsor child or another child in need.
