Length of Lesson 14 days
Content Area Algebra 2
STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC: Rational expressions
BIG IDEAS:
(Content standards, assessment anchors, eligible content) objectives, and skill
focus)
M11.D.2.2.1 Add, subtract and/or multiply polynomial
expressions (express answers in simplest form – nothing larger
than a binomial X a trinomial).
M.11.A.1.2.1 Factor algebraic expressions, including difference
of squares and trinomials (trinomials limited to the form
ax2+bx+c where a is not equal to 0).
M.111.A.1.2.2 Find the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) for sets
of monomials and/or factor polynomial expressions using the
greatest common monomial factor.
M.11.A.1.2.3 Simplify algebraic fractions
M11.A.2.2.2 Simplify expressions involving multiplying with
exponents, powers of powers, and powers of products (postive
exponents only).

STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Factor polynomials using various factoring techniques to Add,
subtract,ultiply, divide and simplify rational expressions
complex fractions with fractional numerators and denominators
Choose the appropriate functional representation to model a real
world situation and solve problems relating to that situation.
Use algebraic properties and processes in mathematical situations
and apply them to solve real world problems.
*Polynomial, terms, like terms, trinomial, binomial
*Factor, greatest common factor
STAGE II – ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
PERFORMANCE TASK:
Students will demonstrate an adequate understanding via a
chapter test. participate in class discussions, guided practice,
computer work,
FORMATIVE ASSESSMENT:
think pair share thumbs up profolio
Students will actively participate in class examples, discussion,
classwork, whiteboards, open ended assessments, graphic
organizers, exit tickets, daily warm ups, homework, Study Island
and, unit tests, quizzes, and other formative assessments.

Instruction, Metacognition, Modeling,
Scaffolding) Active Engagement
Note Taking, Modeling, Whole
Class Response, Partnering,
MATERIALS AND
RESOURCES:
INTERVENTIONS:

Textbook
Notebook
Projector
Warm ups & Exit polls

Struggling students will be
referred to guidance/SAP
(RTI)
Small group/ flexible
grouping will occur when
ASSIGNMENTS:
Various Worksheets
p. 476-478
p. 481-484
p. 488-490
p. 495-498

Higher Level Thinking Skills
Scaffolding
Guided Notes, Chunking,
Build on prior Knowledge,
Teacher Prompting, Visual
Support
Daily: Warm up will include a
spiraling review of prior
knowledge to include the
upcoming lesson
Daily: Check for
understanding using warmup,
homework, or formative
assessment questioning to
determine whether to continue
as needed or do interventions
as needed. ( model, spiral
scaffolding, instruct/reteach, as
needed) Algebra II is always
building on prior knowledge.
Previously-learned algebra
skills are necessary for
mastery of current material
