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
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.
