Think about

What do I want students to learn and be able

to do?

What content knowledge and/or skills do I

want students to acquire, demonstrate, or

refine?
What assessment(s) will be used before
instruction to measure the level of student
mastery of each objective?
How will the objectives be shared with
students?
Why are the objectives for todays lesson
important?
How does this lesson align with curriculum
standards and school initiatives?
How does todays lesson connect with
previous and subsequent lessons?
What resources and materials will be needed
for this lesson?

Think about

Will students be able to complete the warmup independently?

How will the warm up provide scaffolding for

the lesson?

How will feedback from the warm up inform

instruction?

Lesson Objectives:
Objective #1: Students will be able to generalize and then apply exponent rules in order to solve
problems
This objective is important because of the future problems involving numerous operations
involving all exponent rules. They will need all basic information in order to be successful in
completing harder problems.
The objectives will be shared at the beginning of class and revisited throughout the lesson
Resources: Discovery sheets, practice sheets
Common Core Standards
N-NR.2: Rewrite expressions involving radicals and rational exponents using the properties of
exponents

Warm Up/ Drill:

Time:

The drill will be completed individually

10 min

The warm up will provide scaffolding for the lesson because the students will get a chance to once
again practice graphing functions and get a greater understanding of how power functions work

Will there be accountability for completion?

How will correct answers be shared?

Drills will be reviewed and collected at the end of the week

Homework 7-1

Motivation and Connection:

The motivation for todays lesson comes from the accountability students will need to have for
their particular information they learn. This lesson today will be a jigsaw. Even though this
particular lesson typically occurs during a reading lesson in a history or English class, I am

 What connections can be made across

curricula?

Think about

What previously learned concepts will

connect to this lesson?

How will the new concept(s) be introduced?

What strategies will encourage active

learning?
What technology, hands-on activities, and
manipulatives could enhance student
understanding?
How can reading and writing be
incorporated?
What research-based strategies could extend
and refine student understanding?
How will activities connect to one another?

utilizing this activity as a way for students for learn a new exponent rule that they will then have
to teach to their peers. The home group aspect and self accountability will motivate them to
engage in their own learning.

Instructional Activity/Activities:

Time:

In todays lesson, we will complete the following activities

75 min

Drill
Jigsaw activity
Group discussion on lesson / rules
Exponent rules practice
Placemat exit ticket

What strategies and methodologies will

convey content and skill objectives to all

students?
What are the pivotal points of the lesson at
which assessments are essential?
How will student understanding be monitored?

Think about

How will I know if students learned what I

wanted them to learn?

What assessments will be used after instruction

to ascertain the level of student mastery of

each objective?
How will the results of this assessment impact
subsequent lessons?
How will I ensure that all students have
learned?
What will I do to accommodate students who
are struggling and students who have
mastered the lessons objectives and are
poised for additional challenge?

Think about

How does the assignment connect to the

lesson?

Are directions clear?

Will students be able to complete the

Closure:

Time:

For a closure I want to ensure that all exponent rules are not only known but also applicable to
harder problems.

My exit ticket will be a group assessment to see what their entire home groups have learned in this
experience
Classwork will be my largest form of assessment
