7.NS.A.1d

Apply properties of operations as strategies to add and subtract rational numbers.

7.NS.A.2c

Apply properties of operations as strategies to multiply and divide rational numbers.

7.NS.A.3

Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers. (Computations with rational numbers extend the rules for manipulating fractions to complex fractions.)

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

MP2

Reason abstractly and quantitatively.

MP4

Model with mathematics.

MP6

Attend to precision.

Opener: As students enter the room, they will sit down and have 5 minutes to review their notes, discuss with their table, and ask me questions.

Learning Target: After completion of the opener, I will address the day’s learning targets to the students. In today’s lesson, the intended targets are, “I can solve a variety of mathematical and real world problems involving rational numbers.” Students will jot the learning target down in their agendas (our version of a student planner, there is a place to write the learning target for every day).

Mastery Pie Chart

Rational Numbers Unit Test: The test consists of 20 multiple choice questions, utilizing Mastery Connect. Eventhough today's lesson consists of a test, the mathematical practices still come into play. The questions on the test tie in real world problems (mathematical practice 4) which require that the students reason quantitatively and abstractly (mathematical practice 2). As with all signed numbers, precision and attention to signs is very important (mathematical practice 6).
