GENERAL INFORMATION
Grade/Level: 10th
Instructional Setting: The instructional setting includes four walls and one door. The students
are seated at 10 small tables with 4 chairs each. There is one smartboard at the front of the
class surrounded by whiteboard on each side. A desk with a computer sits opposite the
smartboard. The classroom includes 40 chromebooks and a set of 20 TI84+ calculators.
Lesson Objective(s): Using a graphing calculator students will be able to factor polynomials of
the form x^2+bx+c with 70% accuracy
INSTRUCTIONAL PLAN
Guided Practice: Students are placed in small cooperative groups and given small
white boards to practice on. Problems are placed on the board in increasing difficulty and
students work them out together. After a set amount of time, each problem is completed as a
class on the front of the board usually by a student that has done it correctly.
Differentiated Instruction: Students who have learning challenges (ADHD, Autism, slow
processing) will be partnered or grouped with students who can help and support them in the
learning activity.
Lesson Plan Summary: Using a similar approach to the first two lesson plans, in order to keep
the students comfortable with the learning style, students will first activate prior knowledge by
multiplying binomials. Giving the students the chance to attempt the problem in groups before
showing them how to solve gives the chance for discovery. Again using a constructivist method
as the students work to build a deeper understanding of the concept. By using the strategies
demonstrated to them in the previous lessons the students will also be able to connect the
concepts together. The closing procedure in this lesson is an important one, because it gives
the students the chance to self evaluate their progress so far in the unit. This is valuable to them
as they can attempt the work without the pressure of a grade on the line.
