=**UMF LESSON PLAN FORMAT**=

**Grade Level: 8 Topic: Linear Algebra**

 * =**Objectives**:= ||
 * Student will understand the difference between inequalities and linear equations. ||
 * Student will know the different ways to solve Linear Equations and Inequalities. ||
 * Student will be able to use different methods when solving linear equations and inequalities. ||

Equations and Inequalities Grade 8 2. Students understand and solve problems involving linear equations. a. solve any linear equations including linear equations of the form ax+b=cx+d.

 * =Assessment= ||
 * **Formative** (Assessment for Learning)
 * Students will be given a copy of the rubric that their product will be graded on. This will allow them to see firsthand how well they should do on this particular project. ||
 * **Summative** (Assessment of Learning)
 * The rubric will also act as a summative assessment tool by acting as my guide for the final grade given for the products given to me. ||

 * =**Integration**= ||
 * By having the students use garage band they should be expanding their boundaries of thinking. They will also have to use proper grammar as well as good poise when performing on garage band. ||


 * =**Groupings**= ||
 * The groups will be in pairs or even maybe triples as long as they are with their partners that they have on their famous mathematician sheet (which will be like our season sheet). ||

Naturalist – video clip deals with nature Musical – Music should be incorporated into final product Interpersonal – Working in groups Linguistic – talking and verbalizing Bodily-Kinesthetic – moving around to find partner Spatial – video || I will review students’ IEPs, 504s or ELLIDEPs and make the appropriate modifications and accommodations. Students will be informed that one of the classes will be outdoors, so if anyone needs a special accommodation they should inform me no less than two days prior to the class day.

 * **Modifications/Accommodations**

If any student is unable to make a class they are responsible for the missed work and can get it from a fellow student, myself via email or any other means, or the homework hotline. Absent students' work will be accepted late for full credit if sufficient evidence is presented ( a note from parent/guardian, doctor or physician, coach or a faculty member) describing circumstances preventing you from attending class, completing your work and gathering assignments and work. An extension shall be given and the length of it will be dependent on the assignment missed. However with no note work will be accepted late with a penalty of 10% off of the grade for every class late (if your work is 2 classes late that means 20% of your grade will be negated). ||
