Teacher now asks different students to bring up a card and place it in the correct column on the chart. Variations to the concept attainment: Opposite Teacher will place the examples on opposite walls in the room. Students will move to the side in which their example corresponds. Technology (Interactive Board): Use the container feature to drag and drop the examples into the correct column. Lesson Activities Sequence of Activities Starter Activity Introduction – Student Exploration Activity (see and attachment) – Lecture Simplifying, transforming, solving – Think-Pair-Share (Power Point See Attachment) Homework simplifying, transforming, solving – Quiz simplifying, transforming, solving – Closure This lesson plan is over the course of 4 days. I would probably do steps 1 & 2 on the first day. I would plan the pacing of steps 2 and 3 on the second day. On the third day, I would probably do steps 4 and 5. Lastly, on the last day, I would do steps 6 and 7. Lesson Closure Day 1. Exit ticket: On an index card, answer is the difference Essential Questions: “What between the two steps involved in solving a two-step equation?” How do you know when an algebraic expression is in Day 2. Exit ticket: When can you combine like terms? simplest form? Day 3. a term on the board such as 12z. One half of the class will take turns writing like terms under it. The other half of the class will write unlike terms in a different place on the board.
