Numbers Lesson Plan; Rational, Irrational, Exponents, Scientific Notation

This is a ready-made unit plan, allowing for approximately six weeks of contact time in the classroom, 10 lessons in total, that explores all things numbers with your students. It is over 80 multi-layered slides that will engage every learner as they present each topic (rational numbers, irrational numbers, exponents, scientific notation) from several different perspectives. These are not your ordinary slide presentations. They are fully interactive, ensuring no boredom in the classroom, either from you or your students. Long gone are the flat, uninspiring lectures. This presentation will make your students sit up, take notice, and increase participation. It comes complete with embedded videos, activities, worksheets, student reflections, investigations, summatives, and answer keys. It has everything you need to keep YOUR planning time to the minimum, and your students interested.

While these lesson plans were designed for an International Baccalaureate school, MYP3 classroom, they easily translate for use in Common Core, homeschooling, or any type of educational program. However, because the IB stresses real life applications, the examples used tend to answer that old classroom question, “Why do we need to learn this again?” We want the learners to connect the lessons to real-life potentials, to connect what they are learning to real-world usage. We want to make them think outside the lesson, outside the test, and be able to see how math works in the everyday.

You will receive the full unit plan, with a total of 85, multi-layered slides, along with coordinating activities. You will also receive all the activity worksheets that enhance the learning experience. The following is a full list of what’s covered:

Rational numbers; explanations; how they are used
Irrational numbers; explanations; how they are used
Rational numbers; terminating and repeating decimals
Irrational numbers; infinite decimals
Converting terminal decimals, repeating decimals, and infinite decimals into fractions
Exponents; what they are and how to apply them
Negative exponents and the exponent of zero
Rules for Exponents
Multiplication

Let me tell you a little secret about me, for most of my career I used to wing it in the classroom. When I transitioned to an IB school that wasn’t going to cut it anymore. I had to create actual lesson plans and unit plans. Can you believe that?!?! These unit plans are the result of the last few years of work put in to ensure my students received the best classroom experience, and that I was meeting the standards of my curriculum. These are the actual lessons I use in my own classroom. Now you can benefit from all the time and effort I had to put in and save yourself a little of both. They are less expensive than some unit plans, not because they offer less, but because teachers generally are under-compensated for the amount of work they do and I want this to be an affordable way for you to have more free time in your off time.
