Quality Teaching Element Indicators of presence in lesson

Metalanguage Discuss why it is called a trinomial, vs a binomial.
Deep Understanding Understanding Trinomials activity seeks to develop students
conceptual understanding of trinomials before introducing any
formulas.
Inclusivity Choosing students randomly from the roll to share answers (at least
the more simple ones) so all have opportunity to be involved.
 Sequence of Activities

Time Teaching and Learning Actions Centred T/S

Intro State Class Rules T
My name is Mr Wilson.
2 mins
I will be teaching you for the next few weeks, and we will be continuing
to follow Mrs Anastopoulos rules.
- I will be giving out stamps for doing the right thing. 3 stamps and
you get a Merit Certificate which gets you along the path to
getting Faculty and Principle Awards.
- You will also get a strike for any bad behaviour. If you get three of
those, youll be filling out a blue form. We dont want that,
because that could lead to meeting with the head of faculty or
even the principal to talk about your behaviour.

5-10 mins Quick Quiz S

Write these questions on the board for students to begin work on

immediately.
1. Simplify
2. Expand
a.
b.
3. Factorise
a. 15x +12
b.

Mark role during this.

5 mins Go through answers T

Asking students for their solutions to each part (Use role)

Body Do Understanding Trinomials Activity S

5-10 mins Students fill in the understanding binomials activity sheet, to hopefully
intuitively learn how binomial expansion works.

Walk around room, giving help where needed.

Resources: Understanding Binomials

10 mins Teach Factorizing Quadratic Expressions T/S

Put table with three rows of the worksheet on board and fill in the
answers. Point out the products and sums in the quadratic expression.

Discuss the name trinomial, vs binomial. Bi is two, Tri is three. There are 3
 elements in the expression.

From this, we work out that

Do examples:
1.
2.

Mention that order doesnt matter, ie

Students do following as individual exercises and put up hand when they

are finished:
1.
2.
3.

Once students are finished, move them on to the exercises.

When most students are complete, get their attention and go through
the questions, choosing students from the roll to share their answers.
25-40 Work through Exercises S
mins
Students begin working through Exercise 4.06

Conclusio Exit Ticket S

n
Students write down one thing they learnt this lesson, and one thing they
5 mins are unsure about.

Exercise 4.06 is homework.

Chapter 4 Homework will be checked next lesson.

These are collected by the teacher.
