  • Review of previous lesson
  • Brainstorming 
  • Discussion
Task

GENERAL OBJECTIVES: Students will be able to :

                                           Develop an appreciation for Algebra and know how to apply the knowledge gained in their everday lives.

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVES : Students wiill be able to

                                            1) Identify and group like terms correctly after demonstration. , 

                                            2) Add algebraic expressions using the The Learn algebra apps on their tablets with approximately 90% accuracy after                  

                                                 questioning and demonstration.

                                            3) simplify algebraic expressions by subtracting with minimal inaccuracies after further explanation, questioningand    

                                                 problem-solving.

                                            3)Respect view points of others

 

Process

      

TEACHER ACTIVITIES

1) Reinforce concepts taught in previous lessons by applying brrainstorm.

2) Demonstrate how to identify and group like terms

3) instruct students to open Learn Algebra application

STUDENT ACTIVITY

1) Participate in reinforcement activity by using prior knowledge.

2) complete activities written on the whiteboard.

3) solve ten (10) questions from exercise 1.2 from the learn algebra app on their computer tablets     

Evaluation

Calculate the following:

1) 6y+12x+4y+5x

2) 13y+20x-6y-4y

Conclusion

Brainstorming indicated that previous lesson went well and students understood the content. As a result they were able to transfer learning effectively. They were able to group like terms as well. Teacher did nott have much challenge as students displayed a need for learning, hence learning and teachig occured easily.
