Lesson Plan

Unit of Study:

Mathematics

Topic: Combing Like Grade Level(s): 6

Learning Objective(s):

Terms

Subject: Algebra
Standard(s): InTASC #2: Learning Differences. The teacher uses understanding of individual differences and diverse cultures and communities to ensure inclusive learning environments that enable learner to meet high standards Students write verbal expressions and sentences as algebraic expressions and equations. They evaluate algebraic expressions, solve simple linear equations, and graph and interpret their results. They investigate geometric relationships and describe them algebraically. Students make decisions about how to approach problems and communicate their ideas.

Students will be able to analyze problems by identifying relationships, telling relevant from irrelevant information, identifying missing information, sequencing and prioritizing information, and observing patters with 100 % accuracy parts with 100% accuracy

Students will demonstrate how to break a problem into simpler

Procedures:

Warm up: Go over vocabulary words on the board for the first 10 minutes of class. Assessment: Combining like terms test. Student will take assessment test to gauge their understanding of the topic; Combing like terms. Students will be given 20 minutes to complete the test. Activities: Combing like terms practice page to be worked in groups for 10 minutes. Independent Study: The remainder of the class time will be independent study time. Students can work on their homework, ask questions, and get help from teacher. There is 20 minutes of independent study time for this math lesson.

Interventions/Extensions:

For students who are deaf there will be computers with voice output for the warm up portion of class. Students who have an IEP will have one on one help for them to work through their math problems. Extended time on the combining like terms test will also be given to students who require it. Students are grouped together by their math skill level. Use individual headphones to play white noise or soft music to block out other Use individual headphones to play white noise or soft music to block out other auditory distractions for students with ADHD during independent study time.

Notes:

It is alright is students do not complete the assessment test. It is a tool used to judge their understanding of the topic and determine how quickly they can work the problems. Class time is 60 minutes
