Lesson Plan: GOAL: To Develop and Use Formulas To Find Specific Quantities

This lesson plan outlines a 7th grade math lesson on using formulas. The goal is for students to develop and use formulas to find specific quantities. The lesson will begin with a problem of the day involving situations and summaries. A mini-lesson will introduce common formulas and the Celsius and Fahrenheit temperature scales. Students will then work in groups on practice problems converting between Celsius and Fahrenheit using the provided formulas. The lesson will conclude with students sharing their work and discussing what they learned about using formulas. Homework assignments involve additional practice problems.

Lesson Plan

Teacher: Ms. Mbaye Unit: Understanding Expressions


Class: 7th Grade Lesson: Using Formulas

Standard: M3a: Discover, describe, and generalize patterns, and represent them with
variables and expressions.
Resources/Materials: Master 4, graph paper
Vocabulary: Formula - an algebraic “recipe” that shows how to calculate a particular
quantity.

GOAL: To develop and use formulas to find specific quantities

OPENING
Problem of the day:
Share and Summarize page 36. Have students share answers with a partner. Make sure
the situations are reasonable in the S&S.

Mini-lesson:
• T&D pg. 37.
• Students are introduced to the world of formulas… Have them name some of the
more famous formulas. Formulas are usually written as algebraic equations, with
what you want to know by itself on the left-hand side, and the rule for calculating
it on the right-hand side.
• What units are used to measure temperatures? Go over the formula from the
example on page 38. How can you find the temperature in degrees Fahrenheit if
you know the temperature in degrees Celsius?
• Why can the formula be written in two ways?

WORK TIME: Problem set C on page 38 in groups.


GROUP SHARING/CLOSING: Share-out. Verbal analysis of what was learned
today.

HOMEWORK:
C&E – pg. 49-50 #16-18
MR- pg.51 #19-28
Bring in graph paper tomorrow!
Formulas:
Celsius = (Fahrenheit - 32) * 5/9 Fahrenheit = Celsius * 9/5 + 32
Temperature scales:
The degree Celsius (°C) is a unit of temperature named for the Swedish astronomer
Anders Celsius (1701-1744), who first proposed it. The Celsius temperature scale was
designed so that the freezing point of water is 0 degrees, and the boiling point is 100
degrees at standard atmospheric pressure.
Since there are one hundred steps between these two reference points, the original term
for this system was Centigrade (100 parts).
The degree Fahrenheit (°F) is a unit of temperature named for the German physicist
Gabriel Fahrenheit. In the Fahrenheit scale of temperature, the freezing point of water is
32 degrees, and the boiling point is 212 degrees, placing the boiling and melting points of
water 180 degrees apart. Zero degrees Fahrenheit indicates the lowest temperature
Fahrenheit could obtain by a mixture of ice and salt.
Examples for using the formulas
How many degrees Celsius are 68 degrees Fahrenheit?
Replace Fahrenheit with 68 and solve for Celsius:
C = (68 - 32) * 5/9, C = 36 * 5/9, C = 20 20 °C = 68 °F
