STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
BIG IDEAS:
Sequence and patterns
Keystones
M.11.D Analyze a set of data for the existence of a pattern and
represent the pattern algebraically and/or graphically.
UNERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
Analyze a given set of data for the existence of a pattern and
represent the pattern algebraically and graphically.
Use patterns, sequences and series to solve routine and nonroutine problems.
Represent functional relationships in tables, charts and graphs.
Determine sums of finite sequences of numbers and infinite
geometric series..
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
 How do arithmetic series apply to amphitheaters?
 How do geometric series apply to a bouncing ball?
VOCABULARY:

STAGE III: LEARNING PLAN
INSTRUCTIONAL
PROCEDURES:
(Active Engagement, Explicit
Instruction, Metacognition, Modeling,
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
Mini Lesson:
MATERIALS AND
RESOURCES:
reference PSSA Coach
Glencoe Algebra 1 Text
Calculators
Computers
Supplemental Materials
Warm ups & Exit polls
Guided practice and
Study Island
A+ Math
Math Lab
Truly struggling students will
be referred to guidance/SAP
(RTI)Small group/ flexible
grouping will occur if
necessary.
Students will be encouraged to
stay for math lab, or find help
with a math teacher.
ASSIGNMENTS:
Open ended question
Multiple choice practice
worksheets
enrichment
Mini lessons will vary daily
based upon student needs and
informal assessments. We will
use Active Engagement and
Scaffolding within each lesson.
MINI LESSON:
Patterns
Evaluate
Guided Practice:
Note Taking, Modeling, Whole
Class Response, Partnering,
Higher Level Thinking Skills
Guided Notes, Chunking,
Build on prior Knowledge,
Teacher Prompting, Visual
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
examples, discussion, class
work, whiteboards, open ended
assessments, graphic
organizers, exit tickets, daily
warm ups, homework, Study
Island and, unit tests, quizzes,
and other formative
assessments.
Reflections:
Check for understanding using
do now, homework, or
formative assessment
questioning to determine
whether to continue as needed
or do interventions as needed.
(Model, spiral scaffolding,
instruct/reteach as needed)
Teacher reflection
Enrichment
remidal work
Additional materials as needed
