Student Practice, Checking for Understanding and Evaluation: 1. A worksheet containing the material will be distributed among the class. 2. Repeated use of the method will be needed to complete this worksheet. Proceeding individual work, the class will break into groups and solve harder equations pertaining to the same topic. 3. Students will then receive homework on the topic, expressing what they have learned though the completion of problems. 4.
