This multicultural math lesson plan involves students researching information about another culture, such as currency exchange rates, travel times, costs of meals and attractions, and presenting their findings. In groups, students will search the internet to gather data about an unspecified location, calculate conversions and time passages, and present their information through graphs and a multimedia presentation for their classmates to guess the destination. The goal is to reinforce math skills like manipulating large numbers and decimals while learning about different perspectives and increasing intercultural competence. Students' presentations will be assessed based on the accuracy of their calculations and data as well as their collaboration and delivery.

INTEGRATED/MULTICULTURAL MATH LESSON PLAN (Dr. Burnie A. Hines, co-developer) WHERE IN THE WORLD is ___________________? Multicultural Lesson Plan: Mathematics Grade Level: 5-8, other? Duration: This project will take approximately 5 days (maybe more) 1.INSTRUCTIONAL GOAL: Content Standards: Measurement; Number Sense; Data Analysis Use technology or collect data and calculate 1) conversions of currency, 2) passage of time, and, 3) large numbers including decimals. Collect data and display in appropriate graphs. 2. MULTICULTURAL PRINCIPLE(S): a. Develops multiple perspectives (communication; culture) b. Increases intercultural competence (global education) 3. KEY CONCEPTS: This project will reinforce calculation of passage of time, conversion of currency, and manipulating large numbers including decimals. The setting will be global travel (approximately 5 days) to visit and immerse into another culture. 4. OBJECTIVES Students will: Use technology to research and collect data Calculate currency exchange and passage of time Demonstrate understandings of place value notation, including decimal notation Develop relevant graphs Prepare and present a multi-media presentation to classmates 5. INSTRUCTIONAL DELIVERY/STUDENT ACTIVITIES (groups of 4) Search the Internet (or other resources) to determine location of visit; for airfare prices and travel times; to determine local currency and exchange rate; for cultural context of a typical day; for particular points of interest to a tourist; for illustrative artifacts to be bought as souvenirs; for typical foods and prices on menus Demonstrate competence in calculating conversions of currency and calculating passage of time Prepare group presentation of locale without naming it, via display of data collected (charts, graphs, pictures, oral presentation, poetry, music, etc.) Deliver multi-media group presentation to classmates (who will have to guess your destination from clues in presentation) 6.
