- (Check-in) Tell your neighbor what superpower you want and why? Algebra
5-10 min. Intro - (Review: Number talks) Look at the following algebra tiles give me a thumbs Tiles,
up when you remember what each tile represents. Paper,
Pencils,
- Continue modeling polynomials using algebra tiles and legends, introduce Markers,
concept of equivalent polynomials (Materials: algebra tiles, pencil, paper) Chart paper,
- Demonstrate the process of representing polynomials using algebra tiles Prizes,
using student’s examples of polynomial expressions. (Materials: algebra Calculator,
tiles, pencil, paper, smartboard/whiteboard, markers) White/smart
Main - (Review) Look at the following expression: x2 + 3, Determine the coefficient, board,
20-30 min.
Lesson degree, and constant term. Is it a monomial, binomial, or a trinomial?. Polynomial
- Do some practice questions with students so they can get the hang of it. Worksheet,
(Materials: algebra tiles, pencil, paper, smartboard/whiteboard, markers) Textbook,
- Have students create an anchor chart with the components of a polynomial Chromebook
for additional support. (Materials: chart paper and markers) , Internet
- Have students practice questions in pairs. (Materials: polynomial worksheet) Access

- (Activity - Face off): Students in groups of 6 (class of 30) will pair with other
group and “face off” to solve polynomial expressions/models. The first team
to solve correctly receives a point. Prize for each winning team.
- (Activity): Individually solve the equation: y= 3x2- 15 + 7x2 + 6x + 2y + 17. Find
Practice/ y if x=3. First 3 to solve for y properly, get 1 bonus point (can use calculator)
10-30 min.
Activity - (Practice): Pgs.213-215. #1,4,8-10,12 and 13. Solutions posted after class.
(Materials: textbook, calculator, pencil, paper)
- Provide a link to additional videos of modeling algebra tiles for review of
concepts. (link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C9-XZ9DHTK4)

Lesson
5-10 min. - (Formative Assessment #1) Provide a Google Form for practice/results
Wrap-up

Supporting Student - Students will be working in pairs to complete problems (self assessment) and an
Learning: opportunity to request one on one instruction for help with concepts.
- Students will be working in groups for Face Off activity where they can support and
collaborate on the material.
- Students can access videos and questions/solutions to support further understanding.
