PERFORMANCE TASK(S):
Students will show that they really understand by evidence of . . .
Create a short video on how to convert dollars into foreign currency. Select a country and a product and show how much
you can buy with $10.
In a group, create advertisement page to mislead people into buying a product. Compare ad page with other groups and
discuss how unit rates can be used to help you make a better buy.
How will students demonstrate their understanding (meaning-making and transfer) through complex performance?
Students will collaborate with a partner, analyze merchandise and decide which is the best buy. Students will defend
their answers showing a graph, table or equation.
OTHER EVIDENCE:
Students will show they have achieved Stage 1 goals by . . .
Assessment on ratio and proportions will show evidence that students can solve word problems involving ratios and
proportions.

Learning Events
Student success at transfer, meaning, and acquisition depends upon . . .
1) Pair of students investigate dollar to foreign currency (given) and change $10 into that currency. They
will use this amount to compare how much/many items they can purchase in the US and the other country.
Progress
Monitoring
How will you monitor students progress
toward acquisition, meaning, and transfer,
during lesson events?
2) Given a scenario of making the best purchase, students will work with partners and decide which is the
best buy supporting their claims with math and arguments. They will present findings by designing a poster
and giving a 5 minute presentation of method and result.
3) Using their results of the best buy, students will design an ad that with the purpose of misleading their
customers. They will post this on class website while self-assessing their entries and the entries of others
by providing feedback.
4) Students will work with parters on activity involving the creation of a basketball court for a toy soldier.
They will calculate the correct proportion, test a scale factor and verify mathematical arguments.
5) Students will learn how to calculate proportion problems using a table, graph and equation. They will
analyze their favorite method and will provide support of their choice by writing a reflection on the class
Padlet page.
