 Lesson Plan **Title:** The Language of Algebra **Subject:** Algebra I **Author:** Ms.Cook **Grade Level:** 9th

//*This lesson plan is based on the ASSURE model//

= Objectives: =
 * Students will :
 * discover and gain **knowledge** on the langauge of algebra and its' important terms by researching and making flash cards.
 * **synthesize** their own equations/problems
 * **evaluate** their own and peers notes and problems
 * a group discussion will take place at the end of the week
 * show their **comprehension** on the material by creating a powerpoint presentation

= Materials Needed-Utilize Media: =
 * **﻿﻿Internet: **research for definitions and gain a better understanding of the language of algebra
 * **Index cards**: to write definitions on
 * **Printer**: print out practice quiz and quiz the student has created
 * **Microsoft Word, Pages, Etc.: **Type up quiz created by student in an organized and more convenient manner
 * **Powerpoint**: Used to create a presentation based on everything the students have learned throughout the week
 * **Youtube: **Given video to utilize for thorough notes on the topic of the language of algebra

= Require Learner Participation-Activities and Procedures: = -The students will use the internet to research definitions for the words given by the teacher based on the language of algebra. They are required to take notes on this subject, watch the youtube video provided, and create their **own** practice quiz using the quiz they took as a guide. Once this is completed, the class must build their individual powerpoint presentations and discuss their learnings with their peers and the teacher at the end of the week.
