I am setting up lesson plans for ninety-six minute classes for my general mathematics class. We are discussing ratios, proportions, percents, unit rates, cross products, scale drawings, maps, fractions as well as decimals that will consist of working problems out of the book, workbook, & off the overhead. We will work in groups so that the students have the ability to help each other. At the same time we will have challenges with each group on the board so that they students have some fun as well. With the problems that we will be discussing will be using maps, finding distance between points. Students will be able to determine distance traveled, read maps as well as directions to name a few.
