Introduction
Insert a brief overview of your lesson plan. Remember teachers are your target audience on this page. You might want to edit this section after you have finished designing your lesson. At that time you'll have a better idea of your lesson plan highlights.

Subject: Mathematics
Topic: Literacy
Grade Level: 9-12
Student Lesson name and URL: Alone at Sea

 

 

Standards Addressed
Ninth Grade
Ninth Grade
Mathematics: Algebra 1

(10.0) Students add, subtract, multiply, and divide monomials and polynomials. Students solve multistep problems, including word problems, by using these techniques.   

(11.0) Students apply basic factoring techniques to second and simple third-degree polynomials.  These techniques include finding a common factor for all terms in a polynomial, recognizing the difference of two squares, and recognizing perfect squares of binomials.

(12.0) Students simplify fractions with polynomials in the numerator and denominator by factoring both and reducing them to the lowest terms.

Instructional Objectives
Insert your learning objectives here. For example:

   a.  Students will be able to solve word problems on polynomials and monomials by adding, subtracting, multiplying and dividing.

   b.  Students will master the techniques needed to solve multistep problems.

   c.  Students will be able to identify the four techniques used in solving word problems on polynomials and monomials.

   d.  After viewing a computer lesson on polynomials, students will be able to list the basic factoring techniques of solving second and third-degree polynomials.

   e.  Students will demonstrate their ability to simplify fractions with polynomials.

   f.  Given a list of simple fractions, students will be able to reduce to lowest terms each numerator and denominator with polynomials.

  1. After viewing an animation of continental movement on a laser disk, students will be able to arrange the fit of the continents with continental puzzle pieces.
  2. After analyzing information from an Encarta CD, students will be able to compare the distribution of fossils, rock types and ancient climatic zones on different continents as evidence for plate tectonics by fitting puzzle pieces marked by these special features.
  3. Students will be able to draw a diagram of the earth’s layers.
  4. After collecting information from The Earth CD, students will be able to locate earthquakes, volcanoes and mid ocean ridges as evidence for plate tectonics.
  5. After viewing a laser disc geology chapter, students will be able to pass a true/false quiz on lithospheric plates and layers of the earth.
  6. Students will be able to identify the major geologic events that result from plate motions in a Power Point multimedia presentation.
  7. Students will be able to present their findings on the sixth grade plate tectonics and Earth’s structure standards in a Power Point multimedia presentation to an audience of peers and adults, including the World Geologic Society.
  8. Students will be able to write, edit and revise their findings on the sixth grade plate tectonics and Earth’s structure standards using correct grammar, spelling and punctuation.
