What are we learning? Class procedures; simplifying radicals
Daily Objective: SWBAT learn classroom procedures; SWBAT determine equivalent
expressions for radicals
TEKS/AP/Standards: A11A
How will we learn it? We will have fun syllabi and practice working in “Square Root World.”
Learning Activities: Read through syllabus – inforgraphic version; students identify the
various parts of the classroom / Students take notes on simplifying radicals in square root
world (factor numbers, find “dates” who go out as “couples” and the rest stay home to study
together)
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly? Radicals Maze
Assessment Methods: Selected problems from packet
Checks for Understanding: “Quiz show” index answer cards – Students hold up answer cards
to show the right answers to multiple choice problems
What do I need to be successful? Pencils / Paper / Notebook / Calculator (pencil, paper, calc,
notebook)
Materials: You MUST have a notebook for notes and practice now.
What do I need to before next class? Complete selected packet problems
Follow Up/HW: Enrichment/Extra Credit – Create organizer or graphic to explain simplifying
radicals
Wed/Thur
What are we learning? Multiplying and Dividing Radicals / 7.1 Working with Pythagorean
Theorem
Daily Objective: SWBAT multiply and divide radicals to prepare for Pythagorean Theorem
problems / SWBAT solve for lengths of right triangles using Pythagorean Theorem.
TEKS/AP/Standards: G8C
How will we learn it? Notes / 7.1 GIF & Practice
Learning Activities: Simple notes for multiplying and dividing radicals / Display GIF and ask
students to watch it without any explanation. Discuss. Select problems from packet over
multiplying and dividing radicals. Ask students to work through Worksheet page 6 - 9.
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly? Pick two problems to grade in class / Use pairshare to complete worksheet page 6 - 9
Assessment Methods: Accuracy grade
Checks for Understanding: Correct while grading / Pair-share collaboration for corrections
What do I need to be successful? Packet / PPCN
Materials: Notebook is crucial!
What do I need to before next class? Selected problems / Completed worksheet
Follow Up/HW: Be ready to work on more Pythagorean Theorem problems
Friday
What are we learning? 7.1 Pythagorean Theorem / 7.2 Pythagorean Theorem
Daily Objective: SWBAT Find the side lengths of a right triangle using the Pythagorean
Theorem / SWBAT classify triangles using the converse of the Pythagorean Theorem
TEKS/AP/Standards: G2A, G3A, G9B
How will we learn it? Notes / Practice
Learning Activities: Possible Word Problems Worksheet / Selected packet problems
How will we tell if we’re learning it correctly? Partner corrections
Assessment Methods: Students work in pairs – at each step switch pairs of paper and correct
the line before and then do the next line WITHOUT TALKING.
Checks for Understanding: Embedded in the partner corrections
What do I need to be successful? PPCN, Packet
Materials:
What do I need to before next class?
Follow Up/HW: Finish problems by yourselves
