Course Name: Algebra 2

Unit 7 - Polynomials
Date: 3-26-2014
Lesson: Multiplying Binomials
Learning Target: As a result of todays class, students will be able to: multiply binomial x trinomial

CCSS: A-APR.1a I can multiply polynomials

Formative Assessment: How will students be expected to demonstrate mastery of the learning target during in-class checks for understanding?
(embedded assessments, checking for understanding activities in order to assess if the students are meeting the stated learning targets (objective) and subobjectives.)

Formative assessments without technology:Questioning during lesson delivery, CFU during student work-time, white boards
Formative assessments with technology: Clicker activity
Probing Questions for Differentiation on Mathematical Tasks
Assessing Questions (used to scaffold instruction for students who are
Advancing Questions (used to further learning for students who are ready
stuck during the lesson or the lesson tasks)
to advance beyond the standard during class)
What are the laws of exponents?
Could the distribute/box method be utilized for all binomials?
What are like terms?
Example:
What is a binomial?
What does it mean to distribute?
Mathematical Practice: Which student mathematical practice(s) will be targeted for proficiency development during this lesson?

Make sense of problems and persevere in solving them.

Reason abstractly and quantitatively.
Construct viable arguments and critique the reasoning of others.
Model with mathematics.
Use appropriate tools strategically.
Attend to precision.
Look for and make use of structure.
Look for and express regularity in repeated reasoning

Activity/Tasks

Beginning of class routines:

Course Name: Algebra 2

What will the teacher be doing?
Inquire about questions regarding previous days
HW

What will the students be doing? How will

students be actively engaged in each part of the
lesson?
Ask/complete questions about HW assignment

Activity/Task 1: Bellwork review. How will the

students be engaged in understanding the
learning targets?

Clicker activity

students will take ticket out quiz as a preassessment.

Activity/Task 2: Begin Binomial x Binomial

worksheet How will the task develop student
sense-making and reasoning?

TTW review introductory vocabulary, then

demonstrate the first three problems on the
whiteboard.

Students will complete the first 3

problems on the worksheet

Activity/Task 3: Independent work.

How will the task require student conjectures and
communication?

The students will walk the room to assist students

and CFU.

Students complete worksheet alone or in

pairs.

The students will walk the room to assess student

work

Students will work assigned problems

first on white boards or clickers, then
submit correct responses with clicker
devices.

Activity/Task 4: Clicker activity for ticket out.

Materials Needed:
Smart board for Bellwork and lesson delivery
Lesson plan sheets
White boards
Calculators
Ticket out
Promethean clickers
