Lesson+Plan

**Points and Graphs and Lines! Oh, my! A= Analyze your Learners ** The students are in a 7th grade math class and have just learned about coordinate planes. The students have learned how to plot points already.

**S = State your Objectives** A=Audience, B=Behavior, C=Condition, D=Degree

**3 Sunshine State Standards Addressed: ** 1) MA.7.G.4.3: Identify and plot ordered pairs in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane.  2) MA.C.3.3.2: Identifies and plots ordered pairs in all four quadrants of a rectangular coordinate system (graph) and applies simple properties of lines. 3) MA.7.A.1.4: Graph proportional relationships and identify the unit rate as the slope of the related linear function.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">I will reserve the computer lab one day. Students will be using [] to watch a video, complete a quiz, and other assignments on the website. Graph paper will be used as game boards in a battleship game. I will use the whiteboard to teach the concepts. I will do example problems on the board. I will use <span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman','serif';"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">[] to get worksheets to use in stations that the students will rotate through in groups.

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 14pt;">**R = Require Learner Participation**

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">On Monday, students will be playing a battleship game. They will be reviewing how to plot points on a coordinate plane. They will review how to label the axes and origin. Tuesday I will be teaching the class about slope and x and y-intercepts. The students will be taking notes. They should be able to do homework problems about slope and x and y-intercepts after this class. Wednesday will be in the computer lab. The students will be using Brainpop.com. They will be watching a movie introducing them to graphing linear equations. They will complete a quiz and assignment on the website. This lesson should introduce them to certain vocabulary terms and general concepts of graphing that will help them in the next class. Thursday I will be teaching the students how to graph linear equations. Students will be taking notes. They will be able to graph linear equations by plugging in x and y values and plotting two points. They will also be able to graph by using the slope-intercept form of a line. They will have to indentify the slope and y-intercept in the equation and use it graph the line. Friday's class will be a review. The students will be placed in groups and will rotate through four stations. At each station there will be worksheets for the students to complete by helping each other. The worksheets are from a website. The worksheets include finding the slope from a graph, finding the slope from an equation, graphing lines, and finding the slope from two points. The students should be able to do all of the problems on the worksheets. They have learned everything on the worksheets from all of the classes this week. Also on Tuesday and Thursday there will be websites posted on the wiki for further explanations and help if the students need it at home while they are doing homework. I also wrote the main points of the notes on the wiki for students to use. E = Evaluate and Revise **

<span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">After each day I will reflect on the day's activities. If something did not work correctly or flow smoothly I will change it for future classes. For example, the groups on Friday may be too big or there may not be enough time at each station. The battleship game on Monday might be too confusing or too easy.
