BEYOND-THE-BASIC PRODUCTIVITY TOOLS

Name: Katie Jones

Grade Level: Katie Jones
Content Area: Algebra 8th-9th grade
Beyond-the-Basic Productivity Tool Used: Glogster
Standards Addressed: Solving systems of equations
MGSE9-12.A.CED.3 Represent constraints by equations or inequalities, and by systems of equations and/or
inequalities, and interpret data points as possible (i.e. a solution) or not possible (i.e. a non-solution) under
the established constraints.
MGSE9-12.A.REI.5 Show and explain why the elimination method works to solve a system of two-
variable equations.
MGSE9-12.A.REI.6 Solve systems of linear equations exactly and approximately (e.g., with graphs),
focusing on pairs of linear equations in two variables.

Description of how to implement in the class: This assignment would be given
as a project/ homework grade. I would teach them about systems of equations and
then build a glogster for them to review at home to review the content. Then As a
project grade I would have them create their own unique glogster to help them
explore the content of Systems of equations. They would have to find a real world
area that uses systems of equations and then design their page accordingly. They will
be instructed to make their page able to share and useful enough to teach another
struggling student the content. And it will be required to have at least two methods
of solving systems of equations.
Level of Technology Implementation (LoTi): LoTi level 3. The students are
creating with the technology but the information is only surface life useful and it
stays inside the classroom. The goal of this activity will mostly be to master the skills
of solving systems of equations, and creating a eye-catching, clean representation of
them.
Description of the sample BBPT file provided: The Glogster attached is one that
I would give the students as an example of the Glogster to support their learning
process after the first day of learning about solving systems of equations. It would
also be their example to build their own off of. The glogster has an embedded video
of Khan explaining systems of equations again so that they get the information from
multiple sources. It supports several learning styles and helps students review the
content beyond the classroom.
