Subject: Mathematics; Pre-Algebra

Grade Level:

Overview: Students will learn how to add and subtract positive numbers

Materials:

• Pencils/Paper
• Chalkboard

Procedure:

Anticipatory Set: The teacher will draw a number line on the board showing positive and negative numbers.

Instructional Input: The teacher will discuss with the students the necessity of understanding Algebra.

Points will be covered wherein Algebraic concepts are used without thinking about it in our daily lives (banking, construction, etc.)

Modeling: The teacher will use simple examples of Algebraic equations on the board while showing the students how they are solved.

Monitoring: The teacher will watch and note which students are having difficulty understanding the concepts. These students will be offered extra assistance.

Guided Practice: The teacher will write some equations on the board for the students to copy down and solve.

Independent Practice: The teacher will write more equations on the board. The students will copy these onto their paper and solve them for an examination in the next math class period.

Closure: The teacher will end the class by re-capping the concepts discussed during the class period and asking if there are any questions about any of them.

Assessment:
The teacher will make note of the students who appeared to be struggling through the concept and give them additional support to be sure they grasp the concepts before moving on to more difficult aspects of the unit.
