2. Deconstructing/Unpacking the TEKS: (C2) What students will know and be able to do
Apply prior algebraic knowledge to solve polynomial expressions. Add and subtract polynomials of degree one and degree two. Multiply
polynomials. Simplify expressions using distributive property. Solve the expressions.
3. SMART After observing a lecture/demonstration, students will work in a group of three to add and
Objective(s): (C3) subtract and multiply polynomial expressions.
After observing various examples of teacher led group work, students will be able to solve
polynomial expressions by themselves.
Essential Question: By the end of this lesson students will use a graphic organizer to demonstrate the steps on
solving polynomial expressions.
What is a polynomial equation and when will I ever need it for real life application?

o Gifted / advanced learners: I can have 5 more challenging math problems for the
advanced learners to work on after they complete the other work. I could also give them
a choice if they wanted to aid other students in there learning process. Teaching is
always a good way to continue to advance ones knowledge.
