Lesson Plan Title:: Students Will Understand That - .

The lesson plan teaches the distributive property in algebra. Students will learn that the distributive property can be used to rewrite expressions in simpler ways by distributing numbers or variables to terms within parentheses. They will practice applying the distributive property to evaluate expressions and word problems. The lesson includes a video, lecture, worksheet, and exit ticket to assess students' understanding of distributing terms and combining like terms.

Lesson Plan Title: ​Distributive Property

Teacher’s Name: ​Juliette Spitaels Subject/Course:​ Math/Algebra 1


Unit: ​Functions and Expressions Grade Level:​ 9th

Overview of and Motivation for Lesson:


The distributive property is a way of rewriting expressions in new ways. It can be
especially useful in problems that contain variables, but can also make mental
computation of problems easier. Combining like terms simplifies expressions so they're
easier to understand and interpret.

Stage 1-Desired Results


Standard(s):
● A-SSE 1.a. interpret parts of an expression, such as ​terms​, factors, and
coefficients
● A-SSE 1.b. interpret complicated expressions by viewing one or more part as a
single entity
● A-SSE 2. Use the structure of an expression to identify ways to rewrite it.

Aim/Essential Question:
● How can mathematical ideas be represented?
● Why is it helpful to have several different representations of the same relation?
Understanding(s):
Students will understand that . . .
● Distributive property is a wayto rewrite equations
● expressions can be simplified by combining like terms
● expressions are a way to represent mathematical ideas

Content Objectives: Language Objectives:


Students will be able to . . . ELD Level ​4 or 5​ ​Students will be able to . . . in
● Apply the distributive property to English
expressions with numbers and variables ● Correctly use the vocabulary
● be able to identify like terms “like terms” and “distribute”
● simplify an expression by combining while explaining their solutions
like terms in writing or verbally.

Key Vocabulary
● like terms
● distribute
● distributive property
● coefficient
Stage 2-Assessment Evidence

Performance Task or Key Evidence


● Students will be able to use distributive property to evaluate a word problem and
simplify an expression
Key Criteria to measure Performance Task or Key Evidence
● Students can correctly show their steps for utilizing the distributive property. They
can interpret how a word problem will be translated into an equation (using
parentheses) and be able to show their steps for distributing and combining like
terms.

Stage 3- Learning Plan

Learning Activities:
Do Now/Bell Ringer/Opener:​ ​Students will evaluate a problem using the traditional
order of operations, doing parentheses first.
9(3+7+4)

Learning Activity 1:
Students will watch a BrainPop video that explains what the distributive property is,
how to apply it to a problem, and some of the advantages of it.

Learning Activity 2:
Students will participate in a lecture with “do-it-yourself” problems along the way. It
will cover distributive property with numbers, distributive property with variables, and
combining like terms.
By the end of lecture they should be able to: distribute and simplify the expression
2(4x+10+3x)-6

Application:
Worksheet: Students will complete a worksheet with practice problems for
applying the distributive property and combining like terms. This will be
completed individually.
Screencastify: Students will make a short video explaining their solution to a
distributive property problem. As they solve they will explain their steps for
distributing the coefficient and combining like terms.

Summary/Closing
Exit ticket: two simplifying expressions and distributive property problems:
Simplify: 7(4+8x-2)+(3x+1)
Word problem: A buffet charges $32 per diner, no matter their age. If a party
with 12 adults and 15 children go there for dinner, write and evaluate an
expression to describe the situation.
