Date Day 3 Subject/ Topic/ Theme: Key Characteristics of Polynomial Graphs Grade ___Algebra
II_____________
I. Objectives
How does this lesson connect to the unit plan?
This lesson will help students to identify key characteristics of polynomial graphs that help distinguish one family of polynomials graphs from the other

-Project the Google Doc on the board. Tell students own computer
to follow along and add/change things to their chart
on their paper as needed Students add/change answers on their worksheet
-Scroll through the Google Doc and ask students to when necessary
explain why they got the answers they got
-Draw a chart on the board, clarifying points where
students varied, but draw on the students wording
(only adding more academic terms where
necessary), to solidify information discovered

mins Desmos Activity: Students close their laptops
Tell students to shut their laptops and pay attention
to instructions before doing the activity on their
own Students watch example with their computers
1. Project Desmos on board and show closed
students how to upload photo, using a
simple photo (degree 2) as an example
2. Show students how to plot points
3. Show students how to make a polynomial Students open their computers and follow activity,
4. Prompt students to open their computers working individually or together and helping each
and follow the same process to create a other and asking questions
polynomial with their photo. Students may
work alone or in pairs. If students forgot
to take/upload a picture/bring their
computer, they may find a picture online
(e.g. bridge, rainbow) or use their
partners photo.
5. Teacher leaves the example up on the
screen and wanders around answering
questions
6. Tell students every three-seven minutes
that they should be on the next step
7. Tell students to make sure they have the
right degree of polynomial for their graph
8. After announcing the last step of plotting
point, prompt students to find the roots of
their polynomial if already done with
previous steps. After announcing making a
polynomial, have students save their
picture and post it in a Google folder
linked on Google classroom. Students write answers on handout worksheet
9. Have students write the equation, degree,
real roots, end behavior, local max/min,
domain/range of their polynomial Students who are done early help other students
10. If students finish early, have students help
their peers. Make it clear that surfing the
internet and doing other HW is not
allowed
11. After students finish up, show a few
polynomials on the board of peers, noting
the degree of the polynomial in relation to
the number of roots
Note: if students do not finish, make sure that
they know it is homework
