STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
BIG IDEAS:
Special functions
M11.D.4 Determine the vertex of function and
different functions
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
.
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
Students will understand:
. Identify different types of functions
Graph different types of functions
Identifying the nature of a quadratic function. Being
able to sketch a graph of a quadratic function and
identify its vertex, axis of symmetry, and find it
maximum or minimum.
Relate quadratic functions to real world problems and
situations such as fireworks trajectory or bridge
construction.

What make a parabola bend ins tead of going
straight like a linear function?

Howcan a graph depict the height of the rocket
during its flight?s

What do you know from the repetition in a
quadratic?

How can you tell maximums vs minimums?
What data can you read from ax2 +bx + c form?

ASSIGNMENTS:
Open ended question
Multiple choice practice
Activite Engagement
Do NOW will include a
spiraling review of prior
knowledge as well as the
upcoming lesson. We will use
Collins writing 1 and 2 daily
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)
MINI LESSONS
Mini lessons will vary daily
based upon student needs and
informal assessments. We will
use Active Engagement and
Scaffolding within each lesson.
Examples:
*intercepts
vertex
zero
absolute value
quadratic
*Box-and-whisker, stem-andleaf, bar graphsNote Taking,

Support
Independence Practice:
Check for understanding using
practice pages and text as well
as school/SAS developed
activities.
Summative/Formative
Assessments:
Quizzes as needed for
understanding. Unit test is
summative as well as
cumulative for constant
knowledge retention. Students
will actively participate in class
