STANDARD, BENCHMARK, INDICATOR(S):

• 2.OA.C.3

• 2.OA.C.4

WHAT IS (ARE) THE LEARNING OBJECTIVE(S) FOR THIS LESSON?

Students will be able to understand how to write out and solve simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems. In a creative fun way through the Mystery Math a First Book of Algebra book.

HOW WILL YOU ASSESS STUDENT LEARNING? ***Write at least 3 sample assessment questions you can use to formally assess student learning.

Formative Assessment: students will do some group algebraic mathematics problems in their group and will show to the teacher. Which ever team gets the correct answer wins extra credit points towards their algebra test. Students will also discuss on how to solve a certain algebraic problem from the strategies they have learned so far. Teacher can also ask questions how may the class solve some of these challenging algebraic problems, have the students tell the teacher how to do the problem and solve the problem.

Summative Assessment: Reviewing what the class have learn during the class period. Asking questions about how did the class or each group solve some of the algebra problems. Doing pop quiz to to assess if the students have a understand of the content that was taught.

WHAT MATERIALS, EQUIPMENT, AND RESOURCES ARE NECESSARY TO TEACH THIS LESSON?

Davidson the educational advantage: Math Blaster Mystery word problems & logical thinking skills Pre- Algebra game. Mystery Math A first Book of Algebra by David A. Adler Illustrated by Edward Miller. Animal Mystery: addition worksheets, Math Mystery subtraction, solve the riddle worksheets “ how do u fix a broken jack o lantern?.

WHAT ADAPTATIONS AND MODIFICATIONS WILL BE CONSIDERED?

Having a formula sheet for the students to use as reference, print out of the PowerPoint and have students take notes with the print out. Students will also work in a group.

WHAT EVIDENCE-BASED INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGIES WILL BE USED?

Technology Integration: Algebra PowerPoint and Davidson the educational advantage: Math Blaster Mystery word problems & logical thinking skills Pre- Algebra game , Cooperative Learning Groups, Discovery Learning, Direct Instruction, Graphic Organizers, etc.

WHAT QUESTIONS NEED TO BE CONSIDERED DURING THE LESSON?

How would the x variable fit into this equation to help us get our answer for how many plates we need to bring for the soccer game celebration?

Is there any other way we can solve this equation other than the way we already know?

From here on, write as if you are talking to the children/students.

FOCUSING EVENT (BASED ON THE PRE-REQUISITE SKILLS AND/OR KNOWLEDGE)

Alright ladies and gents today we going to use Mystery Math a First Book of Algebra by David A. Adler to help us learn to solve some algebra equation. Then after we will go on a site to try solve some of those equations.

PURPOSE (THE “WHY” OF THE LESSON)

I bet everyone of you guys and gals are wondering why we need to learn algebra huh... well you going to need it in the real world and everything that you do. Such as for an example, finding the area of the pot of soil you want to plant some flowers in you going need to know how to find the area and all which is part of the algebraic strategies.

DELIVERY OF INFORMATION

Alright ladies and gents, play attention to the Mystery Math a First Book of Algebra. The book will help us with our lesson and our fun activity we will be doing in class today. The book will introduce us to what is algebra and how will we use algebra. After we finish reading through the book, it will help us understand the lesson we are learning about algebra today. So pay close attention and take as much notes as you can. We will have some problems we will be solving as a group. Your group may earn points for your group towards the test we will be doing. After we finish our lesson we will go to the computer lab to have our fun activities with algebra, we are going to go on math blaster for some math games.

MODELING/DEMONSTRATION/SKILL CUES

The teacher will demonstrate the concept, making the expectations clear to the students. What does an acceptable product or process “look like”? The students need to SEE the teacher do what the teacher expects the students to do! Again, the format will be determined on the basis of new or previously learned information.

GUIDED PRACTICE

Alright in your groups, ladies and gents try to find a way to find the answer to this algebra equation from what we have use went through. You can look back through your print outs and notes for to help you out. When you think you found hold it till the whole class is done and raise your answer up. If you get the answer correctly and all you will get 2 points for your group.

INDEPENDENT PRACTICE/EXTENSIONS AND REFINEMENTS

Alright on your own guy here our next assignment we going to do, here is couple of worksheets that we will be doing in class, after we are done with them we will then go to the computer lab. These worksheets will be like practice for all of us to understand and master algebra one step at a time.

CLOSURE/WRAP-UP (ENDING THE LESSON)

So today we learn what algebra is and how we use algebra, with your shoulder partner tell each other two things you learn about algebra and how we can use them in our life. We also learn how to write out and solve simple addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division problems.
