Illuminations: Presenting the Plan for a Class Trip

During this segment, student groups present the plans they developed in the previous lesson.

This provides the teacher an opportunity to review students’ attainment of the primary unit objectives and to assess students’ current knowledge and skill level. This experience focuses students’ attention on the mathematics needed in planning a short trip. It builds towards the application of these understandings and skills in the remaining segments of the unit.
