STAGE I – DESIRED RESULTS
LESSON TOPIC:
EXPRESSIONS AND EQUATIONS (chapter 01)
BIG IDEAS:
M11.A.1.1 Represent and/or use numbers in equivalent forms
(e.g., integers, fractions, decimals, percents, square roots,
exponents and scientific notation).
M11.A.2.2 Use exponents, roots and/or absolute value to solve
problems.
M11.A.3.1 Apply the order of operations in computation and in
problem-solving situations.
UNDERSTANDING GOALS (CONCEPTS):
ESSENTIAL QUESTIONS:
Students will discover the relationship between
algebraic expressions and verbal expressions. They
will apply and perform operations that contain both
constants and variables. They will use order of
operations and basic properties of algebra to solve
open sentences and simplify expressions. Students will
use tables and the coordinate system to draw graphs of
functions. They will learn the rudimentary elements of
functions and decide the best way to illustrate this
function graphically.
Why is there a need for order of operations?
What words tell you to perform mathematical
operations?
What does the verb simplify mean in math?
What is a replacement set? A truth set?
Why do you graph?
What is a graph supposed to tell you?
What are the basic properties of algebra and why do
we use them?
VOCABULARY:
STUDENT OBJECTIVES (COMPETENCIES/OUTCOMES):
Algebraic expression, equation, commutative,
associative, distributive properties, transitive,
symmetric, substitution properties, variable, constant,
coefficient, exponent, domain, range, origin,
coordinate axes, solution set
Students will be able to:
1. Write mathematical expressions for verbal
expressions, and vice versa. (1 day)
2. Evaluate numerical & algebraic expressions
using order of operations. (1 day)
3. Solve open sentence equations & inequalities.
(2 days)
4. Recognize and use properties of identity &
equality. (1day)
5. Use the distributive property to simplify and
evaluate expressions. (1day)
6. Recognize and use commutative & associative
properties. (1day)
7. Interpret and draw graphs of functions. (1day)
8. Analyze data given in tables and graphs
(including bar graphs, line graphs, and circle
graphs) (2 days)
(2 days review, 1 enrichment, 1 assessment)
STAGE II – ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE
PERFORMANCE TASK:
Formative Assessments and OTHER EVIDENCE:
Students will participate in class discussions, guided
practice, computer work, and whiteboard activities
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.
STAGE III: LEARNING PLAN
INSTRUCTIONAL
PROCEDURES:
MATERIALS AND
RESOURCES:
DO NOW:
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
Unit 1: Expressions and
Equations (Glencoe Text)
Unit 1 (Algebra Rescue)
Mini Lesson:
Mini lessons will vary daily based
upon student needs and informal
assessments. We will use Active
Engagement and
Scaffolding within each lesson.
Examples:
Variable and Expressions
Order of Operations
Open Sentences
Identity and Equality Properties
Distributive Property
Commutative and Associative
Properties
Graphs and Functions
Analyzing Tables and Graphs
Story Problem – Algebraic expression
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
Warm ups & Exit polls
