Summary:
In this lesson, students are to demonstrate an understanding of ordering rational numbers on a number line. A pre-test is given in Pearson SuccessNet prior to teaching the unit.

The students first participated in the learning activity. They viewed the video together as a group and took the pre-test. The pre-test is an online activity which is completed as a collaborative group using AverPens.

Upon completing the collaborative assignment, the students are given individual assignments to complete, along with a post-test.

The example student "Tom Sawyer" took the pre-test on comparing and ordering rational numbers on a number line. Tom did not score mastery, so Tom was taken to the practice assignment. Following the assignment, Tom scored 80% on the post-test.

Pre-Test Score: 40% Guided Practice activity score: 80% Tom's score on the post-test: 80%

Here is a screen shot of the actual test the student took.



Reflection:
Technology was effective as an instructional aid in this lesson. As the students work through the activity, they are provided with immediate feedback at each point in the lesson. Without the use of technology, could this lesson be taught effectively? Sure. However, integrating technology in this lesson played a vital part in the learning.

This student still has some learning activities assigned to him. If you would like to see first-hand what the student screen looks like, you may log into this sample student's account.
