Topic
Tree Diagrams Discovery Question- Can knowing the number of possibilities make it easier to choose?

Grade Level
7th - Ms. Wiese

Time Frame
45 min.

Instructional Objectives
Students will be able to successfully create a tree diagram as well as determine the number of possible choices in a tree diagram problem.

Materials
__Picnic items:__ · 2 salads (a North American and South American recipe) · 3 entrees (an Asian, Western Europe, and African recipe) · 2 desserts ( an Eastern Europe and Antarctic recipe) · plates, napkins, spoons, forks, knives · drinks (student provided) Calculators (student provided) Paper and pencil (student provided)

Procedures
Focus Attention/Motivation: Teacher will explain the concept of tree diagrams and how they can be applied to things like menu choices.

Instructional Input & Modeling: Teacher will use an overhead projection of a menu, and will walk students through the process of determining the number of possible combinations to choose from.

Student Engagement/Practice: Students will then try a problem on their own using a different menu on the overhead. Once the teacher is satisfied with students’ progress, then the picnic can start. The teacher will ask students to make a tree diagram on a separate sheet of paper to show the number of choices they have for the meal. Students will then be allowed to partake of the meal. **(Intercontinental meal choices are cross curricular with the geography unit in social studies)**

Closure: Homework- Students will complete the 7 problems listed in the book for practice.

Accommodations
Students with computational limitations will be given a set of worksheets with a blank tree diagram to be filled in either alone or with a partner for the class work.
