Understand informall that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers show that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and convert a decimal expansion which repeats eventually into a rational number.
Beginning a unit on number systems with special focus on applying operations to integers to prepare students for later concepts such as solving systems, geometric properties...etc.
Monday: teacher directed notes, students will be required to apply learning to complete a task of classifying numbers in a table.
Tuesday: Continue to learn classifications by creating a number system crossword puzzle with graph paper...this is an in-class assignment unless student does not complete during class.
Wednesday: Song about adding integers, students compare integer problems to determine similiarities and differences to gain a better understanding. Real world concepts will be injected followed by practice.
Thursday: play song again, tons of practice and assessment, while students remain engaged in the learning process the instructor will pull students out and check for understanding.
Friday: Review weeks learning. Activity: learning about integers thru golf. A putt putt course will be set-up in the classroom and students one at a time will putt until they hole out. Each student score will be recorded on a scorecard in which the class will find the sum. NO HW
