- 1. Order of Operations By Beth Rogers
- 2. Project… Students will practice using order of operations in a scaffolding series of interactive problems.
- 3. Audience This project is designed for a fourth grade class with varying ability levels. The class is generally split into thirds, with approximately 1/3 receiving math support, 1/3 on grade level, and 1/3 who achieve above grade level.
- 4. Instructional Objectives Students need to learn the three steps in order of operations: 1. Do ( ) first 2. Do x and ÷ second left to right 3. Do addition and subtraction last left-right N.ME.04.09
- 5. Instructional Strategies Deductive : stating rules, giving examples, having student practice Scaffolding : When student answers incorrectly, they will be directed back to an easier concept, and correct answers will continue to progress them in difficulty level Constructivist : Building upon prior knowledge, students will progress and make choices about what they will learn as they move through the program. The flow of interaction: The learner will start with a problem that has two operations. If they are able to solve this correctly, the next problem will involve three, and so on. Finally, they will be able to solve problems using all four operations in a variety of contexts.
- 6. Active Response The students will have to do simple calculations in the correct order of operations to solve problems. The problems will increase in difficulty, and the student will be asked to print the screen on the final page.
- 7. Feedback I will use the printed final page as a partial assessment with each learner. We will discuss the process, and how many times they had to “go back” to revisit the rules or previous content.
