Quizlet review of polynomial vocabulary, then Quizlet Live once all students
Introduction/Hook are in class
1. Students will enter class and go on their Chromebooks.
2. They will go to the Quizlet link on Schoology and practice the Quizlet.
3. Once class begins, we will play quizlet live a few times. The final group
they are in will be their group for class.
4. Students will get out their homework and check it with the answers on
the board.
Instructional 5. After reviewing the homework, students will be handed the notes sheet.
6. I will teach a lesson on multiplying monomials by polynomials.
Activities & 7. I will complete a few problems with them.
Strategies 8. Within their groups, they will complete the other problems on the note
sheet.
9. After the students are finished with the problems, a student from each
group will go to the board and fill in their answers. We will review all
answers as a class.
10. I will teach the lesson on multiplying binomials and multiplying
binomials by trinomials.
 11. I will complete a few problems with them.
12. Within their groups, they will complete the other problems on the note
sheet.
13. After the students are finished with the problems, a student from each
group will go to the board and fill in their answers. We will review all
answers as a class.
14. The students will put away everything off their desks and they will play
a jeopardy review game. The winning group will win a prize, given to
them next class.
15. The students will finish class by completing a feedback sheet for me.
This is used to improve my teaching and their learning.

Lesson Title (Subject/Topic): ​Monomial x Polynomial, Multiplying Binomials,
and Multiplying Binomials x Trinomials
Cooperating Teacher & School: Mrs. H & Great Neck Middle School
Grade: 8th Grade

1. What steps did you go through to create this lesson? With whom did you talk, discuss, or edit your lesson?

I spoke to my cooperating teacher about the lesson and day she wanted me to teach. I planned the entire lesson
myself using her worksheets.

2. How did the SOLs and Objectives help focus your instruction?

It helped make sure I was staying on topic. Also, it made sure I was teaching the students the information they
needed to know for their test.

3. What parts of the instructional plan worked as you anticipated?

I got through all steps of my plan. The plan was executed well.

4. What, if any, adjustments needed to be made once you begin?

The notes took longer than anticipated. I could have taught a bit faster to have more practice time.

5. How well did you anticipate the materials needed?

I had all materials needed for my lesson, including technology, worksheets, etc.

6. How effective was the assessment you chose to use? (If no assessment was used, what will the future
assessment be and how will you gauge its effectiveness?)

I believe the assessment represented the information they learned. It was taken not during class, but by
including multiple lessons on the quiz the students did well.

7. To what degree do you feel that this lesson was a success? What evidence do you have for the success of
the lesson? (Hint: Student learning is the key to a lesson’s success!)

I feel it was successful! The assessment proved this by having an average of 88%. The majority of questions
missed were from classification, not multiplying polynomials.
8. How did the time spent preparing for your lesson contribute to its success?

I believe my lesson was very successful. The time I put into planning helped result in a successful lesson. I spent
multiple hours on my planning.

9. If you could do this lesson again with the same students, would you do anything differently? If so, what?

I would teach the notes faster to ensure the students had enough practice time individually or in groups.

10. Any last comments/reflections about your lesson?
