=PODCAST: = ===The following is an 18 minute podcast in which I discuss the importance of mathematics being taught and learned in sync with the real world. I believe that main point of the podcast relates to students of all ages, but the activities that I provide and discuss are aimed at 6th grade students. During the podcast, I discuss math ratios in relation to science. I form this connection with a common core standard, CCSS.Math.Content.6.RP.A.1, which discusses how 6th grade math students should be able to "understand the concept of a ratio and use ratio language to describe a ratio relationship between two quantities." In case you do not catch the URL of the website that I discuss, it is http://msms.ehe.osu.edu/category/ratio/. Also, the book that I suggest for parents and teachers to read with their students is "Math Curse" by Jon Scieszka and Lane Smith. ===

= = = = = SMARTBOARD LESSON: = == The following file is a smartboard lesson that I will be implementing in class in order to teach my students about proportions. We will learn about general proportions as well as proportions of liquid measurement. ==



The lesson plan I will use with the smartboard lesson is below.
