! Prior'to'students'entering'the'room,'I'will'set'up'six'stations'that'students'will'work'in'groups'at'
later'in'the'lesson.'Each'station'will'have'chart'paper'displaying'one'of'the'following''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''
parent(functions:'y'='x,'y'='x2,'and''y'='bx'
! In'the'previous'lesson,'students'learned'how'to'translate'these'three'parent(functions.(To'review'
translating'parent'functions,'I'will'have'students'participate'in'a'Go(to(Your(Station(Activity.(As'
students'enter'the'classroom'they'will'be'given'a'function'card.'Their'responsibility'is'to'identify'
their'cards'parent'function'and'go'to'the'correct'station.'Once'all'students'are'at'their'
corresponding'stations,'I'will'ask'them'to'explain'to'their'station'partners'how'their'function'was'
translated.'Students'must'use'the'vocabulary'terms'they'learned'to'describe'translations'in'their'
explanation.'When'each'student'has'had'an'opportunity'to'share'with'their'group,'I'will'select'a'
couple'of'students'to'share'how'their'function'was'translated.'''
! I'will'then'read'the'daily'learning'objective'and'introduce'the'lessons'key'vocabulary'verbally'and'
pictorially.'After'I'have'introduced'the'key'vocabulary,'I'will'allow'students'to'process'their'
understanding'of'the'words'by'adding'them'to'4"Corners(Vocabulary(Charts.(As'students'are'
working'to'add'the'key'vocabulary'terms'to'their'charts,'I'will'distribute'todays'activity.'This'
warmRup'activity'will'serve'as'a'great'way'to'get'the'student'interested'and'involved'in'the'lesson'
right'from'the'beginning.'It'also'allows'for'me'to'complete'my'first'informal'assessment'to'ensure'
that'all'students'possess'the'necessary'knowledge'required'to'be'successful'in'todays'lesson'
before'proceeding.''
! For'todays'activity,'students'will'be'working'in'the'same'six'groups'that'they'are'currently'in.'

will'ask'students'to'rotate'the'groups'to'the'next'station'until'all'students'have'done'each'activity.'
