LESSON TIMELINE/INSTRUCTIONAL PATHWAY
The following describes the lesson timeline and instructional pathways throughout this learning segment
Attention-Grabbing
Using a timer: The timer will provide a structure for each activity and grab the attention of students as they will know when the time is due. The time also eliminates the chaos of getting their attention
Standing in the middle of the Class: Proximity to the students ensures that the students are always attentive. Moreover, work around ensure that the general focus is on you
Playing games. Getting involved in games gets the students' attention. For example, using the tug of war game to show how expressions greater than, equal to, and less than work in numeric expressions
Do you Know: Giving random facts to students
Focus Questions
1 Where can you apply this numeric expression?
2 Can you guess the answer by looking at the expression?<...
