Unit Title: Does it add up? Name: Joseph Zoltan

Content Area: Algebra I Grade Level: 9, 10
CA Content Standard(s)/Common Core Standard(s):
Arithmetic with Polynomials and Rational Expressions A-APR

Perform arithmetic operations on polynomials. [Linear and quadratic]

1. Understand that polynomials form a system analogous to the integers, namely, they are closed under the operations of addition, subtraction, and
multiplication; add, subtract, and multiply polynomials.

Big Ideas/Unit Goals:

Where do you see yourself in 5 - 10 years?

Understand what a polynomial is: monomial, binomial, trinomial

Understand how to add subtract and multiply them
Understand the differences between natural numbers, integers, rational numbers, and real numbers
Understand what closer under addition, multiplication and subtraction are
Understand that like integers, polynomials are closed under addition, subtraction and multiplication
Understand, at a very basic level, how to use LaTex.

Unit Summary:

I will lecture on certain topics and develop a level foundation in all students about different types of numbers and their closures. This will include lectures as
well as class discussions. Then I’ll move to polynomials and everything polynomial. Students will complete worksheets to show they understand the concepts.
Eventually I will begin to lecture on LaTex and possibly use powerpoint for detailed explanations as well as visuals of what is to be expected when using these
programs. Possibly some easier introduction assignments during the unit to get the students’ feet wet so that they’ll know how to use the codes when it comes
time for their final assignment.

Entry-Level: Formative: Summative:
 Survey  Game  LaTeX Project
 Graphic Organizer  Test
 Quiz
 Critical Thinking Discussion

Lesson 1 (Teacher Lecture)

Student Learning Objective:
Understand the differences
between natural numbers,
integers, rational numbers,
and real numbers.
Understand what closer
under addition,
multiplication and
subtraction are.
Understand what a
polynomial is: monomial,
binomial, trinomial.
Acceptable Evidence Lesson Activities:
(Assessments):
Students will listen to a quick introduction prior to going through the PowerPoint. There are guided notes
Simple discussions. provided that students will have to fill out as they make their way through the PowerPoint.
Maybe some classwork on
identification of whether a
number is natural or
rational and so on.
Identification of
polynomials.

Lesson 2 (Webercise/ iPad Lesson)

Student Learning Objective: Acceptable Evidence: Lesson Activities:

Understand how to use
LaTeX.
Understand that like
integers, polynomials are
closed under addition,
subtraction and
multiplication.
Classwork that challenges
students on their
knowledge of polynomial
addition subtraction and
multiplication.
Lesson requires students to sign up with Overleaf. Overleaf will be the tool used to display the typeset
produced by the LaTeX code. Students will read through the directions and step-by-step begin to type
code and produce typeset. Students will have to visit various websites to find the code needed for certain
symbols that will be used in the mathematical context.
Lesson 3 (Graphic Organizer)
Student Learning Objective: Acceptable Evidence: Lesson Activities:

Delve more deeply into
what a polynomial,
monomial, binomial and
trinomial are by adding,
subtracting and
multiplying polynomials.
Successful allotment of Lesson utilizes a graphic organizer to separate polynomials into their respective categories. This
polynomial into their happens after students have done the appropriate mathematical procedures to polynomial expressions.
respective category i.e.
monomial, binomial,
trinomial.
