with rational number

coefficients, including
equations whose solutions

site.

Mr. Trenado

They will then in their

groups introduce the site
to their group and
effectively present it.

Finally they will write a

short paper on how they
found their site and on
the uses of the site that
will help them with their
mathematics content,
and specifically solving
linear equations.

Objectives
Students will be able to: develop
safe and efficient ways to browse
the web for a supporting site that
can provide further practice on
solving linear equations.

Pre Assessment
Students will get into their groups
of 3-4 people and will perform an
initial activity to allow me to
observe how well they can
research the web. On their
chrome-books they will log in and
all will have to be on the home
page. I will then give them time
instructions to finding a specific
site.

Evaluation
Part of the activities will be
their evaluation on this
assignment. For example
students will be evaluated on
how well they:

Leverage technology to
their advantage.

Interact online to
research and find a useful
site.

Demonstrate their
knowledge on the new
site by introducing it to
their group.

End by writing a short

paper on how they found
their site and how they
plan to utilize its uses in
the future to help them in
this class.

Instructional Strategies
I will introduce this lesson by
telling the class a story about
how they will need through out
the year a buddy site to help
them get some fun practice or
review the lesson content again.
Students will have a
group that they will
present their new buddy
to and must help the
group get familiar with
that buddy or new site.
If students are having
