5- Day Lesson Plan Unit: Linear Equations Grade Level: Grade 9 ...

14Developmental Activity:Lecture/Activities:1. We are going to look at the y-intercept of different linear equations.First we need know how to enter an equation into our calculator. Gothrough instruction page with students. (Instruction Worksheet)2. The students will now follow along with the teacher on how to find theintercepts using the graph and table with their calculator. They willalso have an instruction worksheet to follow. (Instruction Worksheet)3. The students will now get a worksheet of a variety of linear equations,where they will need to work independently to find the x and yintercepts. (X/Y intercepts worksheet)4. When the students finish their worksheet they will need to get intogroups of 3 and compare answers. They will also need to answer thequestions on the bottom of the worksheet within their groups.5. When all the groups have completed their handout, the class will cometogether and each group will present an assigned problem from theworksheet using the overhead adaptor with their calculators.6. The teacher will monitor each group while they work together andcorrect the students as they present their problems, if there is amistake.7. Once the groups present their assigned problem, the whole class willhave a discussion on the written questions, on the worksheet.Closure: The students will write a paragraph into their journals about what they learnedfrom the lesson. They will also write down at least one question that they have about thecalculator or anything that they were confused about.Assessment: The teacher will collect the worksheet on finding the intercepts that thestudents completed in class. The teacher will collect and read the student’s journals tosee how they feel about find intercepts with the calculators. The students will be gradedon the group work they did in class.Instruction
