WEDNESDAY

ANALYZE LEARNERSMy ninth grade students have enjoyed the lesson so far. They are excited to see what comes next in the lesson, but they are a little restless.

STATE OBJECTIVEToday I will introduce the concept of substitution and solving equations into the lesson. The students will follow along with an audio lesson, and then I will introduce the equation for the Fantasy Football lesson.

SELECT METHODS, MEDIA, & MATERIALS

My method for this day is to use auditory learning, visual learning, and group work. This will hit almost every type of learning so each student will benefit.

UTILIZE MEDIA & MATERIALS

The first thing my students will do today is listen to a podcast on solving systems of equations by substitution. They will follow along and do the math as they are instructed. After they finish, we will go over concepts or steps they didn’t quite understand, and then I will bring out the “Winning Equation” poster. It contains the equation they will use in the assignment on the following day. We will go over the equation together and what each variable means.

REQUIRE LEARNER PARTICIPATION

Students will be required to participate in following along with the podcast to receive credit.

EVALUATE AND REVISEAs they are working on the podcast, I will observe them and answer any questions they may have. How well they grasp the concept of substitution will determine whether or not we will go over it again the next day.
