Tazewell High School
INSTRUCTIONAL LESSON PLANS
Teacher: J. Scott YostSubject: Algebra 2Period(s): 1,7
Dates:9/11/17 until 9/14/17Unit: Functions.
SOLs (or Competencies) Addressed:
Learning Objectives: AII.7 a & b - The student will investigate and analyze functions algebraically and graphically. Key concepts include domain and range, including limited and discontinuous domains and ranges and zeros.
AII.6- The student will recognize the general shape of function (absolute value, square root, cube root, rational, polynomial, exponential, and logarithmic) families and will convert between graphic and symbolic forms of functions. A transformational approach to graphing will be employed. Graphing calculators will be used as a tool to investigate the shapes and behaviors of these functions.
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.
9/14/15
WarmUP – Domain and Range – Evaluating Function Rules / Independent Practice (Students will be working from their workbooks-Section 2-1) / Summary and Review (Review Problem)
9/15/15
Warm UP –Guided Practice-Clicker Questions –SOL Review / Independent Practice – Students will complete a Graph matching activity in which they will match a given domain and range with the graph of a function. / Summary and Review (Q & A)
9/16/15
WarmUP (Guided Practice- Homework Review) / Guided Practice – Notes / Function Families (Transformations) / Independent Practice – from text / Summary and Review (Exit Slip)
9/17/15
WarmUP (Whole Group-Guided Practice-Function Families) – Independent Practice (Students will work in their textbooks)
9/18/15
WarmUP / Review – Transformations / Quiz – Functions / Summary and Review (Q & A)
Summative Assessment
A Quiz will be given on material learned.
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.
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.
