Making Math Meaningful

Average Rating4.63
(based on 5 reviews)

I absolutely love teaching and making learning meaningful, fun, challenging, yet attainable to all students. My experience includes working with gifted students, ELL students, special education students, as well as regular education students. I have worked with students of poverty and students with many resources available. My students are always in the higher achievement and higher growth category. My classroom has differentiated activities going on regularly and cooperative learning daily.

This is a follow up activity did after "Paycheck Percentages". In this activity, groups analyzed and discussed graphs and compared government spending in many areas. They then looked at wasteful government spending, included. Each group created an infographic on the most outrageous and wasteful spending by the government that was included in the booklet linked in this document. (The group members voted on what they felt was the most outrageous.) Infographics were shared and explained to the class by groups and then posted for everyone to see. MCC7.RP.A.3

This is a great lesson that incorporates percentage calculations into the real world at the same time as motivating students to study and do well in order to make a good life for themselves. This pdf can be used on your smartboard to guide students through the lesson or put on your website as a self guided lesson. Also included is a student handout. My students LOVE this lesson and really have a rich discussion about economics, government, college, budget, and their future. Our lesson was Where do my Tax Dollars Go? I pulled up the wasteful government spending report to go along with a power point I made for that lesson! It was very eye opening! MCC7.RP.A.3 MCC7.RP.A.3
