1 Unit: Introduction to Algebra Grade/_7th Academic Content Standard(s): Mathematical Reasoning 1.0, 2.0 and 3.0; Algebra and Functions 1.0 DIRECTIONS: Summarize your plans for the standard/focus, instructional strategies, and assessments. STANDARD(S)/ CONCEPTS/ FOCUS/TOPIC Problem Solving: Writing an equation INSTRUCTIONAL STRATEGY (direct instruction, cooperative groups, individual practice, whole-class discussion) Explain Objective To solve word problems by writing equations Direct Instruction Give examples of word problems ASSESSMENT (entry-level, progress monitoring, summative) LESSON PLAN Video - Analyze problems by identifying relationships, distinguishing relevant from irrelevant information, identifying missing information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patterns Class discussion of what information was irrelevant Partners Word problem worksheet, they will identify a variable and write an equation without solving. Classwork Homework

2 DIRECTIONS: Identify the critical understandings and skills for the selected content standard(s) which you would expect students to have prior to the lesson series you are planning. Identify prior experiences students may have had with the standard(s). What prerequisite skills, concepts and knowledge will students need in order to meet the standard(s)? Information sources include classroom assessment, district assessment, and CAT6 (grades 3,7,10), STAR (grades 2-11), and CELDT. The class should be able to solve multi-step equations and inequalities with both addition/subtraction and multiplication/division strategies. They should be able to translate simple word expressions into algebraic equations. English learners: MODIFICATIONS/ACCOMODATIONS: Review of key vocabulary Resources you might use: Academic Content Standards/Framework Teacher Resources teacher s guides, other instructional/support materials including Specially Designed Academic Instruction in English (SDAIE) materials. Student Resources student texts, charts, rubrics, activity cards, exemplars, technology applications District Curriculum Guides/ Course of Study Observations and discussions with colleagues with subject-matter expertise and//or SDAIE experience and expertise

3 DIRECTIONS: Complete one instructional plan for each lesson on Form A. If you use a district lesson plan, copy and attach. INSTRUCTION PLAN K-12 Academic Content Standard(s): Mathematical Reasoning 1.1, 1.2 and 1.2 MODIFICATIONS/ACCOMODATIONS: Algebra and Functions 1.1, 1.4, 4.1 and 4.2 What is the academic learning goal(s)? To solve word problems by extracting relevant information and writing equations.

4 INSTRUCTION PLAN What instructional strategies and activities will you use for this lesson? Direct Instruction - Model approach and strategies for solving word problems. In what ways are your instructional strategies and activities effective in measuring the learning goals for this lesson? Video explaining the difference between relevant and irrelevant information. Word Problem Worksheet work in partners to identify relevant information, assign a variable and create and equation. English Language Learner modifications: Special Education Student modifications:

5 INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN PROGRESS MONITORING ASSESSMENT What evidence (student work) will you collect during this lesson that will show the extent to which students have achieved the learning goal(s)? In what ways are your assessment strategies effective in measuring the learning goals for this lesson? Word Problem worksheet English Language Learner modifications: How might you modify assessment of the academic content standard(s)? Special Education Student modifications:

6 INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN How will you group students for instruction during this lesson? (based on reading level, English learner level, etc.)? In what ways are these grouping(s) appropriate for your students? They will choose their own partners to ensure that they are comfortable with the person they are working with. How did you choose the group for English Language Learner? Self-selected How did you choose the group for Special Education Student? Self-selected What instructional materials and technology will you use? Projector Worksheet Textbook In what ways are the materials and technology effective?
