This document outlines a 5-day lesson plan for teaching linear equations to a 9th grade class of 10 boys and 8 girls. The plan involves using board work, crosswords, games and a smart board for examples. Each day will cover a different topic related to linear equations, such as writing equations in point-slope and slope-intercept form or using linear models to make predictions. Technology like the smart board and computers will be used for interactive activities.

1. Linear Equations

2. Analyze the Learner
 My students will learn how to use Linear
equations, with multiple factors. Ill be teaching
this to my 9th grade class which has 10 boys and 8
girls.

3. Objective
 I will be teaching Linear equations to my class by
mostly board work but there is crosswords and
games for each section I plan on using. There will
be problems on the smart board before class
starts for the students to answer. Also I will use
the flip card method for definitions. 90% of my
students will know and understand Linear
equations.

4. Day by Day
 Day 1: Writing linear equations in point-slope
form and in slope-intercept form
 Day 2: Writing linear equations given the slope
and a point, also given two points
 Day 3: The standard form of a linear equation
 Day 4: Fitting a line to data
 Day 5: Predicting with linear models

5. Use of Technology
 Ill be conducting class with the use of a SMART
Board where students will come up and answer
problems before class. Also the use of computers
for the students to complete crosswords and math
games and the flip card activity.
