Syllabus

I have made a Syllabus for an imaginary algebra 1 class. I have also provided a doc file rubric that I can fill out for any math / science related class.

Unit Plans

I have made two unit plans covering the first two sections from Prentice Hall Algebra 1. I have used two unit plans instead of one because of the constructional nature of mathematics. I think it is important to shorten the scope of units so that students can have solid foundation to learn from. Math easily breaks into smaller, concise, and logical sections than some other subjects.

UNIT 1
UNIT 2

The standards and benchmarks I used are from the department of Iowa. My objectives follow the key from my 20 objectives assignment. Whenever a degree is less than specific it is evaluated through the grading of worksheets and homework. This evaluation follows the normal letter grade standards.

Formatting for Objectives:

  • TSWBAT = audience
  • italicized = verb
  • underlined = condition - object of instruction
  • bold = degree - method with which to assign grade.
