Setting
The lesson will taught within the general education classroom. The classroom is located in
Social Circle Elementary School in a city school district about 1 hour outside of Atlanta. There
will be one teacher within the classroom during this lesson series.

Audiences

There are 18 students in the classroom between the ages of 9 and 11. There are 6 boys and 12
girls. There are 2 EIP students, 7 Tier 2 RTI students, and 2 gifted students. Demographics: 13
white students, 4 African American students, and 1 mixed race.

Description and Teacher/Trainer Directions:

1. Review adding and subtracting with decimals. Have students practice with a few
problems to ensure they understand the skill. Pull a small group for reteaching if
necessary. Khan Academy:
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/arith-decimals/arith-review-add-
decimals/v/adding-decimals-example-1
https://www.khanacademy.org/math/arithmetic/arith-decimals/arith-review-add-
decimals/v/andding-decimals-with-hundredths
2. Have students practice using Khan Academy. Students can work through problems and
work on practice problems to ensure they understand the information.
3. Give students directions for their project. Start with their budget. Vary the amount to
differentiate for students needs. (Struggling students: Smaller amount or round numbers
with fewer decimals based on student ability and needs. Extension Students: Have
students spend all of their money with in a $1- or other amount- and account for all
expenses.)
4. Have students talk with partners about where they would like to vacation. You may want
to provide guidance for all students (but especially lower students) to help them find
reasonable places within their budget. Students will jot down their top ideas to start their
research.
5. Students will research using different travel websites. Students will make note of
different prices that they find for their top choice in vacation. They will also need to leave
room in their budget to account for food, transportation (may include mileage and travel
gas), and other expenses.
Example Websites:
www.travelocity.com
www.mapquest.com
www.expedia.com
www.ticketmaster.com
Have students look at a map to help them with travel arrangements.

6. Students will record their pricing and information on paper to submit along with their
project. This will need to show all of their math work. Remind students to double check
that all of their numbers add back up in the end!
 7. After students have their information on paper, they will need to work that into a
presentation for the class. This can be a Google Slides presentation, online poster or
other online visual, or another approved project form. Students will be given the project
rubric to help guide them in the creation of their project.
8. Students will present what they found to the class. Students will share what their budget
was, the cost of each item, and how much they have left over. These projects will be
graded on the rubric.

Rubric Development
Rubric Title: Time For Travel Rubric
Rubric Description: This rubric will assess the student’s knowledge and understanding of
adding and subtracting decimal numbers. It will also assess how the student followed project
directions and if they included the needed components.
Rubric:

Student Work Example (Teacher Commentary):

Teacher Commentary: This is an example of a student project. This would meet the
requirements of the rubric. The example includes all the required parts from the directions,
details about where the information/prices were found, and correct pricing. (This example
shows how much each night would be then that number added 6 times for a trip total for that
category.) Students should be encouraged to make their project creative and interesting, since
they will be presenting them to the class.

Resources
Introductory to Technology Enhanced Instruction:
The OER I used came from ALEX. The lesson plan includes cross content integration with
students having and maintaining a budget, creating an itinerary, applying map skills,
researching websites, creating a presentation/project to share with the class. I amended this
project slightly so that it could be done in 3 days. It will still have many of the same
components, but will focus more on the math adding and subtracting decimals standard. I left
out the itinerary and some parts of the map skills (though students will still have to know where
they are going). The teacher could add in the other parts as her curriculum and pacing allowed
in the future, however, this project will stick to the decimals focus. I also added in some Khan
Academy videos and practice (that was found on the OER commons) to help them as
instructional guides. I also added a tech part to the project with students being able to create
using Google Slides or another source of their choice (as approved by the teacher).
List of Equipment:
 ● chromebook/laptop
● paper/pencil
● Research website list
● Internet access

List of Open Educational Resources:

OER/Repositories:
OER ALEX (Alabama Learning Exchange): https://alex.state.al.us/lesson_view.php?id=6443
OER Commons- Khan Academy (Creative Commons)
https://www.oercommons.org/courses/arithmetic-operations-adding-decimals-1
https://www.oercommons.org/courses/arithmetic-operations-adding-decimals-2

I have not used OER’s in the past. In fact, this is the first that I have heard of them. After
exploring these websites, it really shows that there are already so many resources out there that
we can pull from to create our instruction for our students. My client wanted the content to be
focused on adding and subtracting decimals, so this OER from ALEX was almost a perfect fit. I
took what the OER had to offer, then tailored the instruction to fit my client’s needs. I added a
couple resources from Khan Academy to hel with instruction and making sure that students
have the concrete knowledge/practice that they need before beginning the project. (It’s also
great that any struggling student could refer back to those through the entire project.) She didn’t
need a project that would take her students 2 weeks to finish. She needed something that her
students would find interesting and would also include real life connections while staying in a
reasonable time period. I also wanted to open up the project piece to any online project that my
client would approve for students. In the past I have found that students may be more
interested in showing their knowledge in one format than another. As long as students include
the required parts, the rubric can be used for any format of project choice.

*Students could choose different ways to show their project. Google Slides was one option.

21st Century Technology: Students are able to use chromebooks to research for their project
budget. Students can also use Google Slides to show their project. Students are not limited to
Google Slides, so other programs can be listed here as well if they choose them. (Prezi, Voki,
Flipgrid, Canva, etc.)

Differentiated Resources
● Readiness: Students will need basic knowledge of adding and subtracting multi digit
numbers before beginning this project. Students will learn how to incorporate this idea
with decimals and then apply the skill to their project. Students will need a very good
 understanding of adding and subtracting decimals before beginning this proejct. There
are links to Khan Academy videos/website that will allow for reteaching for struggling
students. Students that already have good knowledge of adding and subtracting
decimals will have the stipulation that they have to get their total cost to be within a
certain amount of the budget.
● Learner Profile: This lesson will allow for different learning styles and choices. Students
that learn best by doing will be able to work out the problems on paper, along with their
research. Students that learn best by viewing/listening will learn with the Khan Academy
videos and practice. Students will all learn based on their learning style with the
presentation since they can choose the way that it is presented.
● Student Interests: Students will be able to choose the way that they complete their
project. Students can use Google Slides (creating it however works best as long as the
information is present), or any other approved source. Some students come with
knowledge from different online content creation sites so they can get these approved by
the teacher. The teacher can also provide a list of alternate websites for any student
that chooses to learn a new way.
