Christie Milton Rockmart High School Advanced Algebra Lesson Plan for October 19 th 23 rd Teacher will be out of the classroom for Apple ipad training. Thursday, October 22 nd, 2015 Standard(s): MGSE9-12.a.SSE.1a Interpret parts of an expression, such as terms, factors, and coefficients, in context. MGSE9-12.F.IF.4 Using tables, graphs, and verbal descriptions, interpret the key characteristics of a function which models the relationship between two quantities. Sketch a graph showing key features including: intercepts; interval where the function is increasing, decreasing, positive or negative; relative maximums and minimums; symmetries; and end behavior. MGSE9-12.F.IF.7c Graph polynomial functions, identifying zeros when suitable factorizations are available, and showing end behavior. Essential Question/ Learning Target(s): We will use all of our knowledge of how to graph and factor polynomials functions to complete a project on creating a polynomial function. Activator (opener): Bell Ringer: o The students will log onto the teacher s Online Classroom, OLC. They will complete the bell ringer for the day under the bell ringer tab. The students should attach the answers to this bell ringer to the day s assignment. Teaching and Learning Strategies: The Birthday Polynomial Project o The students will all be given detailed instructions for this project. The project will be counted as a TEST GRADE. All students should complete all components of this project and turn it in by the end of the class period. o If any students finish early, there is an additional assignment called, Factoring Review Quiz, that will be provided. This is an extra credit quiz that will be counted as 20 possible points towards any quiz, test, or assignment of their choice.
