Worksheet On 'Analyzing Jumps'

Decent Essays

SWBAT recognize “jumps” as a nonstandard unit of measurement
- I can identify different types of units

SWBAT recognize the correlation between unit size and number of units
- I can identify how big a unit is and how many units I need to use.
Students will participate in discussions with their group to answer the lesson questions to develop key understanding
- Kidwatching notes will be taken to collect data on misunderstandings and development of key concepts

Students will work together to complete the worksheet to identify which groups of students are utilizing understanding developed during the lesson.
- Who in the group is able to figure out who run the “race?”
Who relied on support from there peers?
Was there a group that did not figure …show more content…

Make sure to work together and use your strategies we’ve learned about measurement so far this week.

The questions are:
Whose jumps are longer?
Who takes more jumps?
How many jumps did the first boy take?
How many jumps did the second boy take?
Who do you think won the race?

Monitoring:

What’s the difference between how many jumps the two boys made?
- Expected “high”: “First Boy took twice as many jumps as Second Boy”
- Expected: “ First Boy took more jumps than Second Boy ”

How could you decide who won the race?
- Expected “high”: “second Boy because he took half as many jumps.”
- Expected: “first Boy because he took more jumps.”
- (relate to the jumping ____ and ____ did)

Things to kidwatch for:
- The rationale students are giving for justifying their answer:
Expected responses:“second boy jumped further because his jumps were two steps”/ Boy A took more steps than Boy.”
- Correlation between measurements and units
Expected responses: “First boy takes 10 jumps total. Second boy takes 5 jumps total.” / “What are we using to measure? Is each jump like a measurement?” …show more content…

- Start with answers/responses that show partial understanding or are mostly right, and have those answers segue into student understanding that is more explicit/ pushes for precise language.

“Now that we’ve had time to work, let’s work together as a class to see what answers and understandings we’ve come up with. “
- Invite students identified in the selecting and sequencing steps to share their reasoning to the answer to the questions.
1. Units as jumps
2. The correlation between number of jumps and length of jumps
3. Who won the second race
4. How do we know the second boy won the race?
Using the information and strategies we have just talked about with our class, let’s go back and answer our questions:
Whose jumps are longer?
- Second Boy
Who takes more jumps?
- First Boy
How many jumps did the first boy take?
- 10 jumps
How many jumps did the second boy take?
- 5 jumps
Who do you think won the race?
- Second boy

Discuss Key takeaways
- “Jumps” represent units; units can take many forms in measurements,
- The “greater”/”larger” the unit, the less of them you need to “measure”.
