Sample ODE Lesson Plan

Various Uses of Variables

This is a lesson plan based on seventh grade level algebra with various uses of variables. I plan on teaching middle childhood mathematics and using this in my future classroom. The benchmarks in this lesson plan start with using symbolic algebra to represent mathematical relationships, introducing rules and variables to describe patterns, functions, and other mathematical relationships. Using real-life representations to organize and communicate mathematical thinking and problem situations is the third benchmark in teaching the students. The last benchmark is to have them recognize and use mathematical language and symbols when reading, writing, and conversing with others. This plan fits my teaching style because reading through the lesson plan In was picturing how I learned and this was strikingly similar, so that will also help me teach it as well.
