Description
This package includes three lesson plans focusing on solving multistep problems with rational numbers and estimation. Each lesson plan uses animation as the springboard into an activity. While I include the Mathematics Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE), all lessons are written to be used with matching state and national standards that include real-world applications. However, the activity in the third lesson specifically investigates Georgia businesses and industries.
The first lesson targets students that may need extra support. It includes additional practice problems for each skill, verbal and nonverbal praise cues, practice, and a gallery walk assessment. The second lesson focuses on practice with a career exploration. It includes 16 careers to explore with related math questions. Students give the class a presentation based on their findings regarding the career or industry along with their findings. The third lesson focuses on specific companies in Georgia. Students act as representatives for the companies and create pitch presentations to investors. Over 100 additional questions, prompts, and problems are included. Almost 40 real-world application situations are included as well! Explore real-world problems from almost two dozen companies, industries, and jobs!

Short summary
Mathematics Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE)
Learning targets
Time stamps for pause points associated with lesson goals and learning targets
Questions to ask students and expected answers
Accommodations for the activities
Each package includes:
PowerPoints included have slide information listed at the end of the lesson plan
Documents for each activity, including handouts, answer keys, instructions, and scoring rubics
PowerPoint files are intentionally simple, as many teachers like to customize them or use templates
Solutions, steps, and explanations for the problems shown in the video
Script for the video
All documents editable in Microsoft Office formats and as PDF to maintain formatting
Mathematics Georgia Standards of Excellence (GSE) Targeted:
MGSE7.NS.3 Solve real-world and mathematical problems involving the four operations with rational numbers.
MGSE7.EE.3 Solve multistep real-life and mathematical problems posed with positive and negative rational numbers in any form (whole numbers, fractions, and decimals) by applying properties of operations as strategies to calculate with numbers, converting between forms as appropriate, and assessing the reasonableness of answers using mental computation and estimation strategies.
