Key Knowledge

What key knowledge, facts, and vocabulary will students acquire


as a result of this unit? Be specific. Use student-friendly language
for the facts and definitions you list.

Vocabulary:
1. Systems of equations: Two or more lines that
are graphed on the same coordinate plane
2. Intersection: Where the two lines cross paths
3. Solutions: the intersection of two or more
equations
4. Systems of equations by graphing: Using a
graph to determine the intersection of two lines
5. Substitution: replacing a variable with a value
and then solving
6. Least Common Multiple (LCM): The smallest
number that is a multiple of both
7. Systems of equations by elimination: Finding
zero pairs to solve for one variable. Then adding
the equations together
8. Opposites: A zero pair; two values that cancel
each other out (ex: 3 and -3 or 4m and -4m)
9. Infinite solutions: Lines are touching at all
points

Key Skills

What key skills will students be able to perform as a result of this


unit? You dont have to break down how to do each skill.

Students will be able to solve systems of


equations by graphing, substitution, and
elimination.
Students will be able to identify whether a
system of equations has infinite or no solution.
Students will learn the rules of exponents and be
able to solve problems in complex exponential
form.
Students will understand the concept of
probability and be able to organize data in a boxand-whisper plot to find central tendency.

10.
No solutions: Lines are parallel, therefore
never crossing paths
11.
Exponents: The exponent of a number
says how many times to use that number in
multiplication
12.
Zero exponents: Any non-zero number
raised to a power of zero, equals 1
13.
Properties of exponents:

14.
Polynomials: An expression that can have
constants, variables, and exponents that can be
combined using addition, subtraction, and
multiplication and division. However:
No division by a variable
A variable exponents can only be 0,1,2,3,
.etc.
Cannot have an infinite number of terms
15.
Binomials: A polynomial with 2 terms
16.
Trinomials: A polynomial with 3 terms
17.
Probability: The likelihood something will
happen
18.
Central Tendency: A measurement of
data that shows where the middle of the
information lies. There are 3 common measures
of central tendency:

Median
Mode
Mean
19.
Box-and-whisker plot: a graphic way to
display the median, quartiles, and extremes of a
data set on a number line to show the
distribution of the data.

ASSESSMENT EVIDENCE

Formative Assessments

How will students be asked to exhibit their understanding


throughout this unit? How will you communicate their progress to
them? Think both daily and weekly, formally and informally,
things they can self-correct and things you check.

Students will have daily exit tickets, which are


returned the following class period.
Students will have a formal quiz or a test every
other Friday. Students will be allowed to
complete test corrections.
Students are assigned daily homework, which
provides lots of opportunity for practice.
Every week, students are given a progress report
to ensure they are aware of their progress.
Additionally, calling on students provides insight
for me to determine whether students are
grasping the concepts.
At the end of the report period, students will
have their Benchmark, which is a comprehensive
test over all of these topics.

Summative Assessments

How will you evaluate the learning that has taken place at the end
of the unit? This will likely be a unit test, but is there a short
project or open-ended element you can include?

At the end of the report period, students will


have their Benchmark, which is a comprehensive
test over all of these topics. This test is a
combination of multiple choice and open-ended
responses.

STUDENT INVESTMENT
FRAMING THE UNIT
*How will the new unit of study be framed for the students so that they know where they are headed, why the material is important to
study, what will be required of them (projects, etc.), and so that they are hooked? Is there a real-world theme you can adopt?
Connection to another content? WHY are we doing this? Why do they care?

For systems of equations, explain how this will connect several of our prior concepts, including graphing,
inequalities, distributive property, combining like-terms, etc. Will open by sharing real-world and relevant
examples of how this math comes into play in their everyday lives. Additionally, these concepts are the
foundation for higher-level math courses and is a critical skill to master.
