This document outlines a lesson plan for teaching 9th grade algebra. The class has 25 students, with most having visual or auditory learning styles. Over the course of the unit, students will practice simplifying, factoring, and solving polynomial equations and systems of equations using various methods with the goal of 85% accuracy. Instruction will incorporate tools like the smartboard, calculators, online games and worksheets over 5 days focusing on multiplying polynomials, factoring, and solving systems by graphing, substitution and elimination.

My class consists of 25 9th graders - 11 girls
and14 boys. Of the students, 12 are white, 8
are African American, and 5 are Hispanic.
Additionally, 3 students have been diagnosed
with ADHD. The majority of the class have
visual and auditory learning styles. This will
require instruction that incorporates plenty of
verbal instruction and the opportunity for
students to create their own visual in addition
to notes displayed on the board.

3. 
My students will simplify polynomial equations
by practicing problems from worksheets and
through online games with 85 percent accuracy
by the end of the unit. Additionally, students will
factor and solve fro the variable x by practicing
problems from a worksheet and comparing their
answers to the graphed representation of the
function on a calculator with 85 percent
accuracy. Students will also solve systems of
equations by graphing, substitution, and
elimination by practicing problems on
worksheets and through a group assignment
involving real-world application with 85 percent
accuracy by the end of the unit.
