2. Standards
Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors,
and coefficients
Understand how to
combine like terms when solving a linear equation
Objective(s) of this Lesson: The student will
be able to determine and combine the like terms in an algebraic equation.
3. Assessment of
Student Learning
I will observe how the students are doing when finding and
combining their like terms as they move around the classroom. The exit slip will help me to assess how they
did with the lesson. There will also be
a worksheet due on day 2 and a quiz at the end of the week.
4. Rationale
This lesson will help
students to decipher what like terms are.
Students will look to see what other students are similar to their term
and combine them. They will learn to
identify what like terms are and successfully combine them. Students will use cooperative learning to
help them discuss and decide what terms are alike. They
will also have a worksheet to help them analyze on their own what they have
learned from the class
5. Procedure
15 minutes. Activity 1: Warm-up: Students will be
asked to group themselves according to shirt color and write down a
mathematical term to represent their group (i.e. 4B or 4 blue shirts) on a
white board. Then students will be asked
to group themselves according to number of pockets and shoe eyelets. The teacher will then introduce combining
like terms in a problem and how they are similar to what students have just
done.
25 minutes.
Activity 2: Each student will be given a
whiteboard with a term on it (constant, x, y, x^2 or y^2). They will be asked to write a coefficient (if
they would like to) in front of their term.
If their board is blank then they are a constant and can pick any
number.) The “combining like terms” race
will then begin. On the teacher’s “go”,
the students will get up and find their like terms. When they are grouped together they will
calculate their total. We will then
write an equation on the board representing the students. We
will do this several times.
10 minutes.
Activity 3: Students will be given the worksheet (homework) to begin, as well
as complete an exit slip. The exit slip
will ask the students to combine the like terms of the following:
4x + 8 + y^2 -2 +3x^2
+ 2y^2 - x
If time remains students can begin homework.
6. Assignments and Reminders of Assignments
Special reminders to myself:
Teacher will advise students to pick a lower
constant/coefficient to make it easier to combine like terms.
Students will remain in seats when assigning their
term. They will not get up until it is
time to “combine like terms.”
Collect exit slips as students leave
7. Materials and
Equipment Needed Instructional technologies:
White boards
Markers for boards
Worksheet
