There are 6 Lesson Plans total for the whole Target Moon Simulation. This is for a math class grade 6-8. In this lesson the students learn how to find the area of a circle, how to calculate rate, distance and time, the students also have to know how to graph and how to interpret their graph. The students also learn about latitute, longitude, and probability. All of these topics seem very mathematical but these students are working with real life calculations and interpretations. This website has all of the complete 6 lesson plans with worksheets and a powerpoint. This is definitely one of the lessons that would interest students to learn math because it is applied. Another reason why this lesson is so great is that the students are able to built on their prior knowledge of mathematics to learn new content. The students are also not just taking notes or listening to a teacher lecture, but their are fully involved because they need to solve a crisis, everything depends on them.
