Lesson Plan –Algebra 1

|Teacher: |Period(s): |Start date: |End date: |

|Clark |4th Block |11/28/11 |12/02/11 |

|State competency goal and objective: |

|1.01 -Write equivalent forms of algebraic expressions to solve problems.  |

|1.02 - Use formulas and algebraic expressions, including iterative and recursive forms, to model and solve problems. |

|4.02 Graph, factor, and evaluate quadratic functions to solve problems.  4.04 - Graph and evaluate exponential functions to solve problems |

|E.Q’s for the Week: |

|Mon. - How are trinomials factored? How are the differences of squares factored? How is perfect square trinomials factored? |

|Tues. - How are quadratic functions graphed? How are quadratic equations solved by graphing? How are polynomials used to represent real-world |

|problems? |

|Wed. - How are exponential functions graphed? |

|Thur. – How are problems involving exponential growth and decay solved? |

|Fri. - How are geometric sequences recognized? |

|Materials: Learning Focused Support Documents |

|**graphing calculator required, notebook paper, pencil, algebra student textbooks, square boxes, Matho, square puzzles, flash cards, visual |

|approach lesson print-outs, Frayer diagrams, ticket out the door slips, |

|Literacy enhancements: |

|greatest common factor (gcf), factored form, factorization, completely factored, distributive property, grouping, trinomial, difference of |

|squares, perfect square trinomial, quadratic function, parabola, axis of symmetry, vertex, x-intercept, quadratic equation, roots, |

|zeros, discriminant, completing the square, quadratic formula, exponential function, exponential growth, exponential decay, geometric sequence, |

|common ratio, geometric means |

|Adaptations: |

|•Solving quadratic equations will be taught using paper and pencil and using a graphing calculator. •Different methods will be taught. •Ordered |

|Pairs (x, y) will be used for guided practice and summarizing to enhance student comprehension. •Math games will be used to vary activities and |

|maintain student interest: Chart/ box method, algebra tiles as hands-on manipulative, Matho, and square puzzles. •Instead of overhead, use |

|document camera. |
