Common Core Standards

Content Area: Algebra

Grade Level: High School

Domain: Creating Equations

Cluster: Create equations that describe numbers or relationships

Standards:

1. Create equations and inequalities in one variable and use them to solve problems.

2. Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities.

**Rationale:** The lesson meets standard 2 by introducing the idea of how points found from equations are plotted.

**__Assessments__**

**__Formative (Assessment for Learning)__**

**Section I – checking for understanding during instruction**

The board will consist of the numbers 1,2,3, and 4. Students will go up to the board and mark an X under their level of understanding (1 being the lowest, 4 being the highest).

**Section II – timely feedback for products (self, peer, teacher)**

Students will follow a rubric to make sure that all of the requirements for the instructables are listed. Students will also be given another students instructables to assess to make sure that all of the requirements are met. I will be giving feedback on the student’s steps, letting them know if they have forgotten anything or missed a step.

**__Summative (Assessment of Learning):__**

**•Instructables: 30 Points**:

Students will post steps on instructables on how to plot on the Cartesian Coordinate System. Students will be expected to post step-by-step instructions for how to accurately find and plot a point. Students will also make a picture by plotting points in the coordinate system. The directions for building the picture will also be included in the instructables. The picture must include a minimum of 12 points.

**__Integration__**

**Technology:**

The technology that students will be working with in this lesson is called Instructables. Instructables is a type II technology because it allows students to create a step-by-step process using pictures. Then the students can post their creations and share them with the world.

**English, Photography:** Students will taking pictures of each step, while also writing a justification statement for each step.

**__Groupings__**

**Section I - Graphic Organizer & Cooperative Learning used during instruction**

Students will use the spider web graphic organizer to take notes on plotting on the Cartesian Coordinate System. I will have a Cartesian Coordinate plane shown on my white board, where I will demonstrate how points are plotted. Students will then work in small groups on a small drawing that will be created using the coordinate system and plotting points. Students will be able to ask many questions, and I will walk around the room to check for the students' understanding.

**Section II – Groups and Roles for Product**

Students will be working in pairs to create the instructables. Students will also be checking their peer's work by using the rubric to make sure that all of the requirements are present.

**__Differentiated Instruction__**

**__MI Strategies__**

**Logic:** Students will be creating a logical step-by-step process for plotting points.

**Visual:** Students will be able to visually watch the plots as they are plotted on the Cartesian Coordinate System.

**Kinesthetic:** Students will be able to move points using transformation.

**Interpersonal:** Students will be able to communicate with other students during the class plotting assignment

**Intrapersonal:** These students will benefit from the spider web graphic organizer because they will be processing the knowledge internally.

**Naturalist:** I can give examples of how things in nature can be graphed linearly.

**__Modifications/Accommodations__**

**//From IEP’s ( Individual Education Plan), 504’s, ELLIDEP (English Language Learning Instructional Delivery Education Plan)//** //I will review student’s IEP, 504 or ELLIDEP and make appropriate modifications and accommodations.//

**Plan for accommodating absent students:**

Students should check the wiki for the notes about plotting points in the Cartesian Coordinate System. Students will also have a buddy system so that if an absent student had a question about the notes on plotting points, then the buddy would be the first place that the absent student would check. The directions for the instructables and the rubric, along with the partners for each group will be available on the class wiki. Should a student have questions about plotting points or about creating the instructables, then they may email me for answers.

**__Extensions__**

**Type II technology:**

Day 1 (80 minutes) Homework: Come up with a design that you want to draw by plotting points
 * Battleship Hook (15 minutes)
 * Presentation on plotting points (10 minutes)
 * Group plotting pictures (20 minutes)
 * Walk students through the Instructable steps using the [| Instructions on Instructables] (20 minutes)
 * Play time on Instructables (10 minutes)

Day 2 (80 minutes) Homework: Finish instructables
 * Create instructables on plotting points using the design created for homework (80 minutes)

Classroom Arrangement: The desks will be arranged in groups so that students can work on the group pictures.

Students will understand that relationships can be visualized/charted. //Create equations in two or more variables to represent relationships between quantities.// Being able to plot points can make computation simpler. The students will play battleship for the first 15 minutes of class. Battleship uses coordinates to find the enemies ships. Students will be learning about how to use Cartesian Coordinate System, which is very similar to Battleship.

**Where, Why, What, Hook Tailors:** Logical, Intrapersonal, Visual

Students will know the Cartesian Coordinate System (see content notes). Students will use the spider web graphic organizer to take notes on plotting on the Cartesian Coordinate System. I will have a Cartesian Coordinate plane shown on my white board, where I will demonstrate how points are plotted. Students will then work in small groups on a small drawing that will be created using the coordinate system and plotting points. Students will be able to ask many questions, and I will walk around the room to check for the students' understanding. To more thoroughly check for understanding, I will use the 1,2,3,4 method. The board will consist of the numbers 1,2,3, and 4. Students will go up to the board and mark an X under their level of understanding (1 being the lowest, 4 being the highest).

**Equip, Explore, Rethink, Tailors:** Interpersonal, Logical, Visual, Kinesthetic, Naturalist

Students will be able to plot points using the Cartesian Coordinate System. I will show the students how to use instructables by showing them an instructables about creating an instructable. Students will then spend the rest of class playing with instructables to get an idea of how it works. For homework, the students will come up with a picture that they want to plot on their instructables. Students will then create an instructables in class. Students will be working in pairs and will post steps on instructables on how to plot on the Cartesian Coordinate System. Students will be expected to post step by step instructions for how to accurately find and plot a point. Students will also make a picture by plotting points in the coordinate system. The directions for building the picture will also be included in the instructables. The picture must include a minimum of 12 points.

**Explore, Experience, Revise, Refine, Tailors:** Logical, Visual, Intrapersonal

Students will follow a rubric to make sure that all of the requirements for the instructables are listed. Students will also be given another student's instructables to assess to make sure that all of the requirements are met. I will be giving feedback on the students steps, letting them know if they have forgotten anything or missed a step. The feedback will help the students fix any mistakes, and strive for improvement. Plotting points connect to the next lesson because students will learn about creating graphs using a points in the next lesson.

**Evaluate, Tailors:** Interpersonal, Logical, Intrapersonal

**__Content Notes__**

Students will know the Cartesian Coordinate System. The Cartesian Coordinate System was developed René Descartes, a French mathematician. The Cartesian Coordinate Systems provides the opportunity to plot points and create graphs in a logical and organized manner. The coordinate plane starts with two axis. The first one that I will talk about is called the y-axis. The y-axis is placed in the middle of the coordinate plane and its direction is vertical (up and down). The other axis is called the x-axis. The x-axis is also placed in the middle of the coordinate plane, however its direction is horizontal (left to right). The two axis cross in the exact middle of the coordinate plane. This point is called (0,0), or the origin. The first 0 represents the x position. The second 0 represents the y position. From this point, if we move left, this is considered negative in the x direction. For example, if we move left one unit, this point will be called (-1,0). If we move right from the origin, this point is considered to have a positive x value. For example, if we move right one unit, then we will be at the point (1,0). The same rules apply for the y-axis. From the origin, up is considered the positive direction, and down is considered the negative direction. From the origin, if we wanted to move in a different direction besides up, down, right, or left, then we would record our coordinates appropriately. For example, lets say that we wanted to move diagonally toward the positive x and positive y direction. Then both the x and y values will be changing. For example, by moving one x unit, and one y unit, we arrive at the point (1,1). This point is diagonal with respect to the origin.
