Lesson Focus/Key Strategies

7.1 Absolute Value of Numbers - guided notes/ direct instruction - practice problems 7.1 Absolute Value of Numbers - practice problems - review of previous material

Learning Goals/Outcomes

Assessment

Students will gain an understanding of what an absolute value function is. AN1: Demonstrate an understanding of the absolute value of real numbers. Students will complete practice problems relating to absolute value functions. Students will begin to review previous material for topics later in the unit, as well as for the final. Students will work independently to apply the theory from notes into practice. AN1: Demonstrate an understanding of the absolute value of real numbers.

Assess students understanding of arithmetic sequences and series at the beginning of class to determine whether more instruction is needed. Students will gain an understanding of arithmetic sequences through engaging in theory and examples with the instructor RF2: Graph and analyze absolute value functions (limited to linear and quadratic functions) to solve problems. Students will work independently to apply the theory from notes into practice.

29 Friday

RF 11: Graph and analyze reciprocal functions (limited to the reciprocal of linear and quadratic functions). Students will have a quick formative quiz at the Quiz - formative beginning of class. Have them set a goal for practice problems their test and strategies as to how they will achieve it. Students will continue to work on their practice problems and begin reviewing for their exam after completing the quiz. RF 11: Graph and analyze reciprocal functions (limited to the reciprocal of linear and quadratic functions). Students will work independently to apply the theory from notes into practice.
