Algebra

9th grade

Mr. King

Sunshine State Standards 1)A-SSE.1. Interpret expressions that represent a quantity in terms of its context. 2)A-SSE.2. Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it. 3)A-SSE.3. Choose and produce an equivalent form of an expression to reveal and explain properties of the quantity represented by the expression.

**Analyze your Learners** The learners are high-schoolers/ 9th grade boys and girls 13-15 yrs old and/or first timers in algebra or pre-algebra

**State your Objectives** By the end of this lesson the student will be able to define these terms: variable; algebraic expression; signs of operation; order of operations, and solve basic algebraic expressions thoroughly

**Select Media and Materials** We will need textbooks, am overhead projector, a laser pointer, iclickers (if not too expensive) and computer paper. **Utilize Media and Material**

The textbooks are for reference, the overhead projector for our power point, laser pointer to point out or underline key words, iclickers for class to vote right answers on power point questions, and computer paper for worksheets **Require Learner Participation**

The students can use the iclickers to respond to power point questions. The Power point is for them to visually learn definitions of new terms and how to solve algebraic expressions. **Evaluate and Revise**

I will Review answers from power point questions and correct wrong answers and explain why, before moving on. For worksheets, I will go around and check their progress on each problem. n/a  ||  n/a   ||  n/a   ||  n/a   ||  n/a   ||
 * Score  ||  Shows Understanding   ||  Organization   ||  Appropriate use of terms and symbols   ||  Analysis   ||
 * 4  ||  Demonstrates a thorough understanding of the main concepts.   ||  Well organized with correct answers.   ||  Mathematical terms and symbols are used appropriately and are often elaborated upon.   ||  Thorough analysis of the problem with accurate solutions.   ||
 * 3  ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Demonstrates an understanding of the main concepts.   ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Organized and most answers are correct.   ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Mathematical terms and symbols are used appropriately.   ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Analysis of the problem is evident, considerable accuracy.   ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">2  ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Demonstrates a partial understanding of the main concepts.   ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Organization needs to improve, some correct answers.   ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Some mathematical terms and symbols are used correctly.   ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Analyzes the problem with some success, accuracy needs to improve.   ||
 * <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif'; font-size: 16px;">1  ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Demonstrates little understanding of the main concepts.   ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Needs to improve, some correct answers. Very weak evidence of organization, a few correct answers   ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Mathematical terms and symbol use are weak, not enough references to mathematical terms are used.   ||  <span style="font-family: 'Verdana','sans-serif'; font-size: 13.3333px;">Very little evidence of analysis. Some educated guesses. Accuracy is weak.   ||
