MIXED SKILLS
3 GUIDED PRACTICE (10 mins) : Choose a student to help you model working through a word problem as a pair. Read the “Your Turn” question 1. Ask your student partner: What do you think we should do to solve this problem? Why? Students can use the following sentence starters to respond to the student partner’s solving strategies: I disagree because . . ., I agree because . . ., I want to expand on . . ., What’s your reasoning for . . ., and more. Then continue to work on solving question 1 with the student in front of the class. After solving, ask your partner: Is there a way that we can check our work? Did we complete all the required steps? 4 GROUP ACTIVITY (20 mins) : Have students work in pairs to solve the remainder of the “Your Turn” problems. Provide each pair with a sheet of chart paper. Have pairs record their work for each problem on the paper. Remind students that each pair should show their work to support their answers and assess reasonableness. Then display these papers around the room so that students can perform a gallery walk. Students will analyze each other’s work for accuracy, discover other methods and strategies for solving the problems, and validate their own answers. 5 ASSESSMENT (10 mins) : Have students SEL EXTENSION Post quotes around the classroom from both male and female athletes from a variety of sports. Have each student stand near one quote with which they strongly agree or strongly disagree. Then have them explain why they chose that quote. Some sample quotes can be found at brightdrops.com/motivational-quotes-for-athletes or sheknows.com/living/slideshow/9277/inspiring-quotes -from-female-athletes . complete the “Home Run Review” +5 skills sheet independently. You can collect these as a formal assessment piece.
