WEEK 01, DAY 002 

Thursday September 03, 2009

Objective:

Assign seating.

Chapter 1-1 Arithmetic Computations ( Order of Operations ) and Introduction to Variables:

-

Do our first “Do Now” problem and get that daily procedure rolling.

The “Do-Now” problems (2) consists of one computational problem with signed numbers and the other is a simple algebraic equation which is to be solved.

-

Then review numeric computations and order of operations. 

Concepts:

Do-Now problems:

#1: Simplify 2(n) – 1 where n = -3; is to assess if students can handle signed numbers.

#2: Solve  2y + 3 = 8; is to assess if students can solve a simple algebraic equation and to see how they represent the final solution in decimal, mixed number, or improper fraction.

-

Classwork/Homework: Is to get in some practice at simplifying numeric expressions.  Review of order of operations and signed numbers.

Warm-up:

See above

Homework Review:

Activity/Assessment:

Text: pages 3 & 4 (W)ritten (E)xercises { 1 – 40 evens }

Have a sample of solutions ( with work shown ) to display as an example of teacher expectations on the smartboard

Homework:

Text: pages 3 & 4 (W)ritten (E)xercises { 1 – 40 evens }

Materials:

Objective:

Continue establishing daily classroom procedures: { 1.) Do-Now problem, 2.) Homework Review, 3.) Lesson, 4.) Classroom Activity, 5.) Follow-up Lesson / Closure, 6.) Final Classroom Activity to be completed for homework, 7.) Stay in seat until dismissal bell, push chairs under the desks, then place Do-Now-Sheet in appropriate plastic bin on the way out of the classroom. }

Chapter 1-2 Grouping Symbols – Numeric Order of Operations

Concepts:

Continue establishing classroom procedures and then continue with classwork that reviews order of operations

Warm-up:

#1: Simplify ( 8 + ( -2 ) ) / 3;   #2: Simplify 3y ( xy – z ) when x = 2, y = 3, z = 1
