<p> Math-in-CTE Lesson Plan Lesson Title: Rise and Fall of Body Temperatures Lesson # H03 Occupational Area: Health CTE Concept(s): Temperature Math Concepts: Graphing whole numbers Lesson Objective: Student will demonstrate a working knowledge of:  Collecting accurate data  Identifying scale intervals  Understanding graphing terminology  Plotting data on a graph  Students will be able to accurately measure a patient’s temperature  Students will be able to accurately record a patient’s temperature Supplies Needed: Pencils/Pens, paper, thermometers, vital graph records, alcohol, overhead transparencies, tissues, gloves, worksheets, and graph paper Overhead Projector Computer for PowerPoint (optional) Transparency of a thermometer or a large 3’ visual Overhead projector pens Watch with a second hand Waste container Simmers, L.

NOTE: At beginning of class hand out a One of the skills that we are going reading sample as pre-assessment of to need to know as a health care knowledge (worksheet #1). It should provider is vital signs. One of the relate to the reading assigned the night major components of vital signs is before from your textbook that temperature. It is important to corresponds to this lesson. (see attached as a sample from Diversified Health measure a patient’s temperature in th order to identify the possible Occupations 6 edition pg.351,367) disease processes that may be occurring. Vital signs are often the Health Concept(s): first indication of disease and abnormality in the patient. Measuring, analyzing and recording Temperature is defined as “the temperature. balance between heat loss and Math Concept(s): heat produced by the body”. This process involves reading a Plotting graphs, charts, data analysis, and thermometer and plotting the problem solving results on a graph to document the information. 2. Assess students’ math Sample answers: awareness as it relates to the CTE lesson. The teacher will ask the students 1. 96 - 99 F or 36.5 - 37.2 C or the following questions: 97 - 100 F or 36.1 - 37.8C (range varies according to 1. Does anyone know what the reference) "normal" body temperature is? 2. The small lines are two-tenths (.2) 2. Looking at large (class sized) of a degree and the large lines are thermometer, can you tell what a full degree. the units represent? 3. Rulers, scales, number lines, and 3. Where else do you see units of blood pressure cuffs measurement similar to this 4. Temperature, sales, newspapers, being used? statistics, television, and schools 4. Outside of this classroom where else do you see graphs Math Vocabulary: being used? Scale - An arrangement of numbers in 5. Can you define the following some order at uniform intervals. terms: Scale, Interval, Axis, Interval - A set of points between two Horizontal Axis, Vertical points. Axis, Plotting, Axis - The lines that divide the coordinate Coordinate system X (Horizontal) axis - horizontal line that in the health care is placed at the top instead of at the bottom. Y (Vertical) axis - vertical line. Plotting - Marking points in a coordinate system. Coordinate – An ordered pair of numbers 2 that locates a point on the graph with reference to the x and y axes. 3.
