Lynne- I think that you have a very well thought out PBL plan! While reading your lesson I was wondering if you might be able to make more connections with social studies? I know that you want students to use MapQuest, but maybe they could look at a map to determine scale and other possible routes? The skills that you are teaching students in this lesson are extremely important and I think that it can easily be differentiated for various levels of learners! Good job! Erin

Hi Erin,

Thank you for the suggestions! I am only a math teacher, so I do not usually focus on anything but math. You are absolutely right, though, that I am crossing over into social studies. I will have to go onto my PA department of education site to see if we have social studies standards for fourth grade.

Thanks again, Lynne

Lynne, I really liked your rubrics you provided with your lesson. They were so clear and well thought out. I think you did a great job at setting your expectations. I loved that you incorporated a smartboard into the lesson to allow students to interact with the content. Great job on your lesson.
