Learning Objective

Students will be able to apply proportional reasoning to solve real-world problems.

Materials

• Whiteboard and markers
• Projector and screen
• Real-world problem scenarios

Procedure

1. Introduction (5 minutes)

   • Greet the students and introduce the learning objective.
   • Ask the students if they have ever encountered problems in their daily lives that involve proportional reasoning.
   • Explain that proportional reasoning is the ability to determine the relationship between two or more quantities and use that relationship to solve problems.

2. Whole Group Activity (20 minutes)

   • Display a real-world problem scenario using the projector.
   • Model how to use proportional reasoning to solve the problem.
   • Ask the students to work in pairs or small groups to solve the same problem.
   • Walk around the classroom to observe and assist as needed.

3. Independent Practice (15 minutes)

   • Provide each student with a different real-world problem scenario.
   • Instruct the students to use proportional reasoning to solve the problem on their own.
   • Monitor the students' progress and provide assistance as needed.

4. Closing (5 minutes)

   • Have the students share their solutions with the class.
   • Review the learning objective and remind the students of the importance of proportional reasoning in solving real-world problems.

Assessment

Assessment of this mini-lesson can be done informally through observation and questioning during the whole group and independent practice activities. Additionally, the teacher can collect the students' work solving the real-world problem scenarios to assess their understanding of proportional reasoning.
