Dates:10/24/16 until 10/28/16Unit: Factoring (4)
SOLs (or Competencies) Addressed:AII.1d-The student, givenrational, radical, or polynomial expressions will factor polynomials completely.
Learning Objectives:
The Student will factor a polynomial by using a Greatest Common Factor
The Student will factor Trinomials Completely
The Student will factor binomials using the “Difference of Squares”
Instructional/Assessment Activities:
WarmUP – This is a bellringer activity which will go over the previous days lesson.
Guided Practice – This is a visual presentation given to students in the form of a powerpoint or a smart-board presentation.
Independent Practice- This will be Individual assignments from the students workbook or text. Occasionally this will be in the form of a puzzle or teacher made hand-out.
Summary and Review-This will be a brief Q & A session to review material learned for that class period or an exit slip to reinforce learning for the day.

Thursday
WarmUP–Trinomial Factoring / Independent Practice – From Text / Summary and Review
Friday
Quiz –Factoring (PowerTest: Using GCF – Trinomial Factoring)
Summative Assessment
A Quizwill be given on material learned at the end of the week.
Technology
The Smartboard will be used as a primary tool to check for student understanding
The TI-84 Graphing Calculators will be used as a primary tool to check solutions.
Formative Assessment
The Student will investigate and analyze functions algebraically and graphically
The Student will recognize the general shapes of function families and convert between graphic and symbolic forms of functions.
The Student will simplify radical expressions containing rational numbers and variables.
Differentiation.
WarmUP (Bellringers) will be used every day to assess individual understanding of previous topics covered.
Summative Assessments (Quizzes and Tests) will be used as a primary tool to guide instruction for individual student needs. Remediation will be provided for students who are not ready for the next topic. Students who have mastered content will be provided with extended practice (challenge problems).
Time will be allotted each day (other than the day of a quiz or test) for Independent practice to allow for additional support from the teacher to address individual needs.
If necessary, assignments will be altered to accommodate for those who may work at a slower pace.
