Content Source:

 PBS
Type: Lesson/Unit Plan

Overview:

This is a free resource from PBS.  Teachers will need to click on Procedure to access the directions for the activity.  Note: Sohu/African/African-American Culture has been substituted for Drum-Beating, Foot-Stomping African.

There are three options for this lesson, depending on class needs and time available:

  1. Frame, Focus, and Reflection: students will watch "E Sin Mi D’Africa" and DanceSense from 8:04- 8:34 and record their own heartbeats at rest.
  2. Short Activity: students will watch "Sohu/African/African-American Culture" and calculate the tempo of different portions in terms of stomps per minute, perform two movement sequences, and record their heartbeats after each sequence.
  3. Project: students will choreograph an original dance workout with specified changes in tempo and level and teach it to their peers.

1. Use appropriate notations [a/b, a to b, a:b] to represent a proportional relationship between quantities and use ratio language to describe the relationship between quantities.

Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students: Given contextual or mathematical situations involving multiplicative comparisons.
  • Communicate the relationship of two or more quantities using ratio language.
Teacher Vocabulary:
  • Ratio
  • Ratio Language
  • Part-to-Part
  • Part-to-Whole
  • Attributes
  • Quantity
  • Measures
  • Fraction
Knowledge:
Students know:
  • Characteristics of additive situations.
  • Characteristics of multiplicative situations
Skills:
Students are able to:
  • Compare and contrast additive vs. multiplicative contextual situations.
  • Identify all ratios and describe them using "For every…, there are…"
  • Identify a ratio as a part-to-part or a part-to whole comparison.
  • Represent multiplicative comparisons in ratio notation and language (e.g., using words such as "out of" or "to" before using the symbolic notation of the colon and then the fraction bar. for example, 3 out of 7, 3 to 5, 6:7 and then 4/5).
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • In a multiplicative comparison situation one quantity changes at a constant rate with respect to a second related quantity. -Each ratio when expressed in forms: ie 10/5, 10:5 and/or 10 to 5 can be simplified to equivalent ratios, -Explain the relationships and differences between fractions and ratios.
Diverse Learning Needs:
Essential Skills:
Learning Objectives:
M.6.1.1: Define quantity, fraction, and ratio.
M.6.1.2: Identify the units or quantities being compared.
Example: Read 2/3 as 2 out of 3.
M.6.1.3: Write a ratio in appropriate notation;[a/b, a to b, a:b].
M.6.1.4: Draw a model of a given ratio or fraction.
M.6.1.5: Identify the numerator and denominator of a fraction.

Prior Knowledge Skills:
  • Compare two fractions with the same numerator or the same denominator by reasoning about their size.
  • Addition and subtraction of fractions as joining and separating parts referring to the same whole.
  • Label numerator, denominator, and fraction bar.
  • Recognize fraction 1 as the quantity formed by 1 part when a whole is partitioned into b equal parts.

2. Use unit rates to represent and describe ratio relationships.
Unpacked Content
Evidence Of Student Attainment:
Students:
Given contextual or mathematical situations involving multiplicative comparisons,
  • Use unit rate to solve missing value problems (e.g., cost per item or distance per time unit).
  • Use rate language to explain the relationships between ratio of two quantities as non-complex fractions and the associated unit rate of one of the quantities in terms of the other.
Teacher Vocabulary:
  • Unit rate
  • Ratio
  • Rate language
  • Per
  • Quantity
  • Measures
  • Attributes
Knowledge:
Students know:
  • Characteristics of multiplicative comparison situations.
  • Rate and ratio language.
  • Techniques for determining unit rates.
  • To use reasoning to find unit rates instead of a rule or using algorithms such as cross-products.
Skills:
Students are able to:
  • Explain relationships between ratios and the related unit rates.
  • Use unit rates to name the amount of either quantity in terms of the other quantity flexibly.
  • Represent contextual relationships as ratios.
Understanding:
Students understand that:
  • A unit rate is a ratio (a:b) of two measurements in which b is one.
  • A unit rate expresses a ratio as part-to-one or one unit of another quantity.
Diverse Learning Needs:
Essential Skills:
Learning Objectives:
M.6.2.1: Define unit rate, proportion, and rate.
M.6.2.2: Create a ratio or proportion from a given word problem.
M.6.2.3: Calculate unit rate by using ratios or proportions.
M.6.2.4: Write a ratio as a fraction.

Prior Knowledge Skills:
  • Recall basic multiplication facts.
  • Solve word problems involving multiplication of a fraction by a whole number, e.g., by using visual fraction models and equations to represent the problem.
  • Recognize key terms to solve word problems.
    Examples: times, every, at this rate, each, per, equal/equally, in all, total.
  • Recognize a fraction as a number on the number line.
  • Label numerator, denominator, and fraction bar.
