Using Parentheses, Brackets, and Braces Separately Lesson- Students will take notes from module one flipchart as well as have practice using this concept. The homework for this lesson is Math 1-1.
Using Parentheses, Brackets, and Braces Separately Activity- Pass out dry erase boards and markers to every student. Using the equations on the flipchart, have the students work out each problem on their dry erase board.
Order of Operations Lesson- Students will be introduced to this concept by using the Math 1-2 flipchart.Students will take notes from this flipchart as well as have practice using this concept. The homework for this lesson is Math 1-2. There is also a handout for the students about order of operations PEMDAS Handout. This will help to ensure that the students learn it correctly and have it correctly in their notes.
Interpret Numerical Expressions Lesson-Students will be introduced to this concept by using the Math 1-3 flipchart. Students will take notes from this flipchart as well as have practice using this concept. The homework for this lesson is Math 1-3 hw.
Day 5:Interpret Numerical Expressions Lesson- Students will continue to practice with this concept by using the Math 1-4 flipchart. Students will take notes from this flipchart as well as dig deeper into this concept and have practice using it. The homework for this lesson is Math 1-4 hw.
Day 6:Order of Operations/Numerical Expressions Activity-Students will be split up into partners. They will be creating their own Order of Operations poster. Students will have a Order of Operations Poster instruction sheet and grading rubric. They will be using this sheet as well as their notes from the previous day to make a colorful poster. Students will also be required to create a story context with a numerical expression as an example on how to use order of operation.
Day 7:Using Parentheses, Brackets, and Braces together Lesson- Students will be introduce this concept by using the Math 1-5 flipchart. Students will take notes from this flipchart as well as have practice using this concept. The homework for this lesson is Math 1-5 hw
Day 8:Using Parentheses, Brackets, and Braces together Activity- Students will practice equations from the flipchart on the dry erase boards.
Day 9:Review- Students will review Module 1 by using the Math Module 1 Review flipchart. Students will have practice completing problems from the entire module. The homework for this lesson is Math module 1 test review. This review encompasses everything that will be on their assessment.
Day 10:Assess- I will answer any questions that the students might have prior to the assessment. The assessment is Module 1 Test A. After the students take the assessment, I will grade the assessment. I usually have anyone that makes a 69% or lower go to the remedial group, but occasionally if I felt a student needs just a little more instruction but passed the assessment, I will send them to the remedial group as well. All students that earned a 70% or higher will go into the enrichment group.
Day 11:Remedial-Review Module/Enrichment-Order of Operations with Exponents
Day 12:Remedial-Quick Review & Retake Test/Enrichment-Algebra: Variables and Expressions
