Effort: The Flipped Classroom
- As a teaching head of high school~ effort is the key educational psychology concept I teach students early in the new year. As an essential component in understanding attribution theory~ students are drawn to the ideas surrounding their efficacy. The flipped classroom is in my judgment part of the efficacy of self determination and a partner to understanding individual effort and talent.
- In a recent article by Katie Lepi~ "What Is A Flipped Classroom?"~the author attempts to address the question why and what.
- Why:
- 1. improve studentinteractions
- 2. improved retention
- 3. improved test scores
- 4. improved attendance
- 5. improved content
- 6. improved personalization
- What Teachers Think:
- 1. improved grades
- 2. improved person-to-person relationships
- 3. improved learning by students
- 4. improved use of class time
- 5. improved student attitudes

What is the difference between multiplication and division? (Allow the students to answer.)
Main:
Say:
Today you are going to be solving word problems using multiplication and division.
When you are solving word problems, what are some of the key words to look for? (Allow the students to answer)
Some of the key words that might be used in words problems that use multiplication are by, double, every, product and times.
Some of the key words that might be used in word problems that use division are as much as, how many in each, quotient and share something equally.
To solve a word problem, you first need to understand the situation that is being described.
Then, you need to figure out what you are supposed to be solving. You can do this by drawing a picture or writing an equation or word sentence with a circle where the missing information would go.
Now, you are going to be doing some word problems. All of the word problems will use either multiplication or division. When you are done, we will go over all of the answers.
Does anyone have any questions?

Standard: 2-LS4-1: Make observations of plants and animals to compare the diversity of life in different habitats.
Materials:
Printable Student Worksheet Handout
Starter:
Say:
Have you ever seen a frog? What do you know about them? (Allow the students to answer.)
Main:
Say:
There are many different types of frogs. Frogs are animals that are in amphibians. They live the first part of their lives in the water and the last part of their lives on land.
All of that is part of their life cycle. A life cycle shows the changes that happen to a living thing as it moves through its life.
Some living things, like plants and butterflies, go through many changes during their life cycle that change the way that they look. Other living things, like people, only get bigger.
The life cycle of a person starts when you are a baby. You are born as a baby, then you grow into a child and then an adult. As an adult, you are able to have a baby and the life cycle starts again.
People look the same from the time they are born until they grow to be adults. We have all of the same body parts when you are born that you have when you grow up.
Did you know that there are some animals that have different body parts when they are born and when they grow up?
Raise your hand if you think that you can describe the life cycle of a frog. (Allow the students to answer).
You are going to read about the life cycle of a frog, just like the frog in The Frog Prince.
You are then going to answer questions about what you have read.
