and linguistic support to enhance and confirm
understanding of increasingly complex terms
such as solution and systems of equations.
Tuesday: SWBAT determine interest using exponential functions
Terms: (Italicized for ESL, SPED/ Bold for GT)
Wednesday: SWBAT investigate the difference between exponential
growth and exponential decay
Thursday: SWBAT show mastery of Unit 6 material

Defining Success
Friday: SWBAT transform exponential functions
National Standards:

CCRS2.C1 Recognize and use algebraic field properties,
concepts, procedures, and algorithms to solve equations,
inequalities, and systems of linear equations.


CCRS2.D1 Interpret multiple representations of equations and
relationships.
CCRS8.A2 Formulate a plan or strategy.

CCRS8.A3 Determine a solution.

CCRS8.A4Justify the solution.
ELPS:
ELPSC.1c Use strategic learning techniques
such as concept mapping, drawing, memorizing,
comparing, contrasting, and reviewing to acquire
basic and grade-level vocabulary.
ELPSC.2e Use visual, contextual, and linguistic
support to enhance and confirm understanding of
increasingly complex and elaborated spoken
language.
ASSESSMENT: How will you know concretely that all
of your students have mastered the objective?
Checking for Understanding Strategy:
Formative Assessments
Jeopardy
Popcorn Answers
Begin incorporating whiteboards.
Best Practices:
Threshold, Do-Now, Exit Ticket
Essential Question
How do systems of equations model
real-world situations?
How do you use algebraic concepts to
evaluate and solve real-world
problems?
FILL SHADED PORTION FOR THE CURRENT DAY ONLY
DO NOW: Varies from M, T, W, Th, F
TIME: 15
min
Lesson Cycle
Students will see a warm up on the board relating to the day’s lesson or a review of a previous lesson
that builds on today’s lesson. This will check for understanding and reinforce the algebraic concepts.
MATERIALS
ENGAGE (Monday): Students’ minds focused on the topic
