TIME FRAME:

• This lesson will last approximately 48 minutes/1 class period

MATERIALS:

• Cookie ingredients
• Cookie mats
• Reflections

PROCEDURE:

1. Upon entering the room, students open up to my Schoology site and access the Daily Agenda. The Daily Agenda encompasses the schedule for the day, important links (if any).
2. Students also partake in very specific lab procedures, which will be seen during the premeasuring activity for the choice cookie lab.

Students will enter the room and open up their Chromebooks to Schoology. They will independently work on the bell work question, which will take 2-3 minutes. Once students are done, I will know that they are ready to start the discussion because their Chromebooks will be closed. We will go over the answer and check in with a few different people to see what answers they got.

After this, we will begin our measuring and equivalents activity. Students will each have their own whiteboard and work independently or in their groups (depending on the question) to solve and answer the various questions posed. After each question, I will call on multiple students to hear their reasoning and explanation.

The culminating equivalents activity will be done as a table- each students will receive a recipe and will have to half, quarter, or double the recipe. They will do this as a group and one group will be selected to share their answers and explain their reasoning.

Students then will take their lab plans and begin premeasuring for the Choice Cookie Lab. Students will apply and practice their knowledge of equivalents, as well as their appropriate measuring skills. After students label all of their bags and have their bags completely prepped, they will clean up and get checked out, per our usual lab routine. Once students are at their seat, they will complete a GoogleForm exit ticket, which is also located on Schoology.

If time allows, we will go over the agenda for the remainder of the week and into next week.

ASSESSMENT:

Formative Assessments: Questions throughout, bell work task

Summative Assessments: Exit ticket (google form), premeasuring for cookie dough.
