Analyze the learner**


 * This lesson plan will be used for all five 9th Grade Algebra class periods.
 * There are no students in class listed as special needs.
 * Students are familiar with the basic integer system including positive and negative number, as well as algebraic substitution of values and general equation formats.


 * State your objectives**


 * Given 20 sets of (x,y) coordinates, students will plot points on a Cartesian plane with 85% accuracy.
 * Given 20 sets of (x,y) coordinates, students will plot points using a Graphic calculator with 90% accuracy.
 * Given 60 sets of (x,y) coordinates, students will plot lines on a Cartesian plane with 85% accuracy.
 * Given 60 sets of (x,y) coordinates, students will plot lines using a Graphing calculator with 90% accuracy.
 * Given 60 sets of (x,y) coordinates, students will calculate the slope and y intercept of a line and write the equation of this line in slope-intercept form with 90% accuracy.

The Unit Lesson meets the following NETS standards for students:

Technology Operations and Concepts Students demonstrate a sound understanding of technology concepts, systems, and operations. Students: A. Understand and use technology systems. B. Select and use applications effectively and appropriately. C. Troubleshoot systems and applications. D. Transfer current knowledge to learning of new techniques.


 * Select Methods, Media, and Materials**

Smartboard and Projector Graphing Calculators Computer with internet access. Graph Mole online educational game. Line Gem online educational game. Graphing paper.


 * Utilize Methods, Media, and Materials**


 * The teacher will use the Smartboard and Projector to introduce students to plotting points and lines as well as introduction of the slope-intercept form of a line. The teacher will also use the Smartboard with the graphing calculator to plot points and lines.
 * The students will use the Smartboard when called upon by the teacher to answer questions.
 * The students will use the graphing calculator to plot points and lines.
 * The students will use the computers with internet capability to access the online review games Graph Mole and Line Gem.
 * The graphing paper will be used to plot points and lines by the students and teacher.


 * Require Learner Participation**

__//Monday**:**//__

The teacher will introduce the students to the Cartesian coordinate system and plotting points. They will also be introduced to using graphing paper and graphing calculators. The teacher will do interactive review with students using Smartboard. Students will do review worksheet to verify knowledge.

__//Tuesday//__**:**

The teacher will briefly review foundational lesson from previous day. The teacher will introduce plotting multiple points and creating lines on the Cartesian coordinate system. The students will do this on graphing paper and graphing calculators. The teacher will do interactive review with students using Smartboard. Students will do review worksheet to verify knowledge

__//Wednesday://__

Students will begin the day doing the online review activity Graph Mole for point plotting. Each student will have an individual computer to use. After completion of previous activity, students will move on to the reinforcement game for line plotting which is a Line Gem. Students will return to desks and be introduced to the slope and intercept concepts of graphing lines as well as the equation of a line. The teacher will do interactive review with students using Smartboard.

__//Thursday://__

The teacher will do a brief verbal review at the start of class. The teacher will facilitate the interactive team Basketball game as review for the upcoming quiz.

__//Friday//__:

The teacher will facilitate a closed book test which allows the use of a graphing calculator only.


 * Evaluate and Revise**

Students will be assessed in the following ways:
 * · Daily participation and understanding will be assessed through review worksheets handed in to teacher.
 * · Students learning will also be assessed based upon the quiz to be administered at the end of the lesson.
