El Rancho Unified School District

Topic/Main Idea:
Solve problems involving the four operations, and identify and explain patterns in arithmetic. / CCSS: OA.D.8 & OA.D.9
Timeline: 2 weeks / mid-year
Objectives/Concept/Skill(DOK) – Level 3:
  • Solve two-step word problems using the four operations
  • Representthese problems using equations with a variable
  • Identify arithmetic patternsand explain them using properties of operations.
/ Connections to earlier and next grade levels:
•2nd - solving two-step word probs w/ add & sub
•3rd – solving multi-step word probs w/ all 4 operations
•4th - continue solving multi-step word probs including remainders
Performance Task/Activity(DOK):
The students are planning an end-of-the-year roller skating party. They need to determine transportation cost, entrance cost, skate rental cost, and food cost for the whole class. They also need to determine the total cost per student. They need to choose between the two skating rinks that are the same distance from the school. Food costs are dependent upon combo vs independent food choices.Based upon their calculations, they need to determine which rink would be the most economical, and write a short explanation. / Relevance/Rationale:

Real world party planning situation
