  2. Facilitating multiplicative rather than additive comparisons; and
  3. Developingproportional thinking by having students compare and determine the equivalence of ratios and solve proportions through problem-based contexts rather than based on formulas.

Differentiates and addresses the diverse needs of students.

Includes an informal and/or formal assessment. If so, does the assessment align to, and measure, the objective?

Requires any appropriate revisions.

Select one of the videos, and as a group, use the Class Profile to create a lesson plan using the COE lesson plan template that incorporates the revisions.

Submit a copy of the lesson plan, the link to the video, and rationale of 500-750-words that summarizes the group’s evaluations of the lessons and supports the revisions.
