These are the lesson plans for Unit 15 of 16 in the 5th Grade Math Curriculum: 127 lessons in teaching order, week by week, each with a lesson plan and an exit ticket.
Also for this unit: exit tickets, pre-check, unit review and test. See the whole year
Everything each lesson plan points to, with links. Sheet numbers count worksheets: a color pack prints each sheet again in black and white.
★ Taught in 5th grade in some states.
Eleven lesson plans, one for each lesson of a 5th grade unit on data and probability, in teaching order, after an overview page that lays the unit out day by day: a pre-check, the eleven lessons, a review and the unit test. Each plan fits on one page. It gives the goal, what to get ready, the words to use, the lesson in five steps with the words to say, questions to ask, common mistakes and what to do about them, and the Animal Math worksheets, makers, tool and quizzes for the lesson.
Print the unit, or just the day's page, and teach from it. Each lesson takes about 45 minutes: a 5 minute warm up, 10 minutes of teaching, 10 minutes together, 15 minutes of practice and an exit ticket at the end. Lessons 15.3 to 15.11 are taught in 5th grade in some states only: planning how to collect data (Florida, Georgia, Indiana and Virginia), the mean (Florida, Indiana, Oklahoma and Virginia), the median, mode and range (those four and South Carolina), stem-and-leaf plots and frequency tables (Texas and Virginia), line graphs and double bar graphs (Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma, South Carolina and Texas), scatterplots (Texas), histograms and circle graphs (Indiana and South Carolina), probability from 0 to 1 (South Carolina and Virginia) and sample spaces (Virginia); skip the ones your class does not learn. The exit tickets, pre-check, review and unit test are separate packs, made for these lessons, and the plans use other data than they do.
Teaching at home? Use the warm up and the "Try it together" step as a short lesson, and the "Words to use" as the way to talk about it. A ruler marked in eighths, a bag of colored blocks, a coin, a number cube and the family's own numbers (minutes of reading, heights, the week's temperatures) work as well as classroom ones. The mistakes to watch for are the ones most children make.

Lesson plans for every lesson of a unit on line plots, data and probability, from line plots in eighths and the mean, median and mode to scatterplots, circle graphs and sample spaces. Each plan gives a lesson in five steps, words to say, common mistakes and the worksheets to use, after a unit overview.
