Lesson Idea Name: Graphing different types of functions

Content Area: Algebra I
Grade Level(s): 9th-10th
Content Standard Addressed:

MGSE9-12.F.LE.2 Construct linear and exponential functions, including arithmetic and geometric sequences,
given a graph, a description of a relationship, or two input-output pairs (include reading these from a table).

MGSE9-12.F.LE.3 Observe using graphs and tables that a quantity increasing exponentially eventually exceeds
a quantity increasing linearly, quadratically, or (more generally) as a polynomial function

Universal Design for Learning (UDL)

This assignment can be done with partners pairing a struggling student with a proficient one.
Students can also use a lesson package if additional support is needed.

Engagement: The students will be engaged in the manipulation of technology to further enhance their
familiarity with how to operate technology.

Representation: Students will create a video about each of the function they have been given
/ chosen.

Action and Expression: Students will be able to express their understanding through a video. They
also can connect their knowledge of the linear function, quadratic function and cubic function
together.

Lesson idea implementation: This project will start before the Unit test. Most students should have
knowledge of linear functions, quadratic functions, and cubic functions.

After watching the video, students will be grouped in groups of four. Each group should select one of Linear
function, quadratic function, and cubic function to make a video. The video content should explain the concept
of the functions selected by each group and include how each group displays the selected function in a graph.
This video project will be announced the day after the exam.
Importance of technology: The use of this software is to give students complete control to let them create a
video for/on their own. The purpose of using software that gives students complete control to show their
knowledge. Learning to use the software, along with combination with educational material, this will raise
their critical thinking level and the LoTi level to the highest.

Internet Safety and Student Privacy:

Before starting this video project, I will inform parents or guardians of the announcements on how I will
protect the safety and privacy of students.
Having students create their own videos, there will be a risk of internet safety. This means that students
identify and their personal information may be used by the third-party. So, each of the groups' work will be
shared by CD. I will also have to explain copyrights and how they can affect students if they failed to follow
the process.

Reflective Practice: I feel this project will keep the students to show their knowledge by creating a
presentation/video. Not only students are creating their own work, but also they will be interacting with the
information. Students will be using the new information to create their own work also using this information
as support. This will allow students to become aware of what it for doing research and technology to create a
final product using that information. This will allow the students to go back and review their videos. This video
project will be used to reinforce the material presented in class.
