The teacher will introduce the
lesson to the students. The
teacher will also provide a
video to introduce slope to
the students in a fun manner.
Warm-Up: Two quick start
questions that reflect back on
previous objectives for a quick
refresher.
Once Warm-Up is complete
students will review over their
answers and ask questions.
The teacher will then pass out
the notes for the lesson while

Potential Challenges/Plan B

Potential challenges may include lesson going too quickly or leaving the students with no material to finish the
class.

If students do not understand right away: Go through more examples and use student-lead strategies. Allow
students to come up to the smart board and explain their reasoning. Pair higher level students with lower level
to provide different learning techniques.

If students finish too quickly: Students will be directed to complete Think Through Math lessons.

Assessment

Assessment includes Independent practice, and the Exit ticket.

TSW be evaluated of their comprehension of the objective through the independent practice as well as the exit
ticket. The teacher will be circulating throughout independent practice, determining what students will need to
be pulled for small groups later in the period (if time is allotted) or the next day’s period.

The exit ticket will be a post-assessment to verify the student’s mastery of this objective.
