GENERAL INFORMATION
Grade/Level: 10th
Instructional Setting: The instructional setting includes four walls and one door. The students
are seated at 10 small tables with 4 chairs each. There is one smartboard at the front of the
class surrounded by whiteboard on each side. A desk with a computer sits opposite the
smartboard. The classroom includes 40 chromebooks and a set of 20 TI84+ calculators.
Lesson Objective(s): Using pencil and paper students will be able to factor polynomials using
greatest common factor
INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN
Guided Practice: Problems are placed on the board and students will solve them within
their cooperative groups. Each group will take a turn solving the problem at the board for
the class. Corrections are made and questions will be answered as the groups go through the
questions.
Differentiated Instruction: Students who have learning challenges (ADHD, Autism, slow
processing) will be partnered or grouped with students who can help and support them in the
learning activity.
Lesson Plan Summary: This unit begins by using a constructivism learning theory. By
introducing the GCF concept using the algebra blocks, students are given the opportunity to be
creative in finding factors on their own. They are able to represent the factors of different
problems physically and verbally within their cooperative groups. The blocks also help to link
factoring as an abstract concept to a real world scenario. This will help students gain a better
understanding, help with retention and give them a firm foundation in which to begin the unit.
