STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
BIG IDEAS:
Quadratic Functions (Chapter 10)
M11.D.2.1.5 Solve quadratic equations using factoring
(integers only – not including completing the square or
the Quadratic Formula).
M11.D.4.1.3 Determine the maximum or minimum of a
quadratic function
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:

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 instead of going straight
like a linear function?
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?
VOCABULARY:

.
STAGE II – ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
PERFORMANCE TASK:
Students will participate in class discussions, guided practice,
computer work, and whiteboard activities
OTHER EVIDENCE:
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.
STAGE III: LEARNING PLAN
INSTRUCTIONAL
PROCEDURES:
MATERIALS AND
RESOURCES:
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:
Unit 3 Chapter 10 : ( Glencoe
Text )
Unit 10( Algebra Rescue Text)
Factor
Solve basic equation
evaluate
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
Warm ups & Exit polls(daily)
Homework (daily)
Guided practice and
Enrichment from Glencoe
Grab & Go workbooks
Curriculum Binder: Algebra 1
before books This has very
good additional practice for
students in these areas
Additional materials as needed
Positive/ negative counters
Number lines, etc .
Algebra tiles
INTERVENTIONS:
Study Island
A+ Math
Math Lab
Keystone Diagnostic Tool
National Library of Virtual
On Glencoe.com, using the
2008 version of the book,
there is a section of word
problems that correlates to
this unit very well,
ASSIGNMENTS:
Note: all assignment are from
the same page, but different
questions are assigned based
on grouping by teacher.
Axis of Symmetry
Vertex
Graphing Quadratics
Graphing Quadratic Equations
Solving by Factoring
Solving by Graphing
Roots
Zeros
Quadratic Formula #1, #2
Ch 10 Word Problems
Chapter 10 Review
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.
