General Information Lesson Title
: Introduction to Algebraic Expressions
Subject(s): Math
Grade/Level/Setting: 6
th
Grade Math Class
Prerequisite Skills/Prior Knowledge: Students will already know how to write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents
.
Standards and Objectives State/National Academic Standard(s): : CCSS 6.EEA.2 (write, read, and evaluate expressions in which letters stand for numbers).
Learning Objective(s): Students will be able to complete a ten-question quiz with 70% accuracy. They will be able to read, write, and solve equations such as: 3 + x = 18, x – 2 = 4, x + 4 = 6, 10 + x = 30, 15 – x = 5, x – 23 =11, x + 23 = 45, 53 – x = 43; Select which of the following algebraic expressions; and write and solve their own algebraic expression. Students will show mastery of the lesson by answering eight out of ten questions correctly. Materials Technology
Interactive notebook graphics, spiral notebook, colored pencils, scissors, glue, and pencils.

Will be used as an introduction to the lesson. Language Demands
Specific ways that academic language
(vocabulary, functions, discourse, syntax) is used by students to participate in learning tasks through reading, writing, listening, and/or speaking to demonstrate their understanding. Language Function(s):
Students will use precise mathematical language to read, write and solve algebraic expressions using integers and variables. Vocabulary:
Expression: set of numbers or symbols and operations grouped together
Variable: a symbol or value we don’t need yet
Integer: number with no fractional part
Like Terms: the terms in an expression whose variable part is the same
Coefficients: a number used to multiply a variable
Constants: a number or variable on its own
Discourse and/or Syntax:
Students will use interactive notebook graphics to label, identify, and give examples of algebraic expressions.
Planned Language Supports:
Students will define, read, and evaluate algebraic expressions by combining like terms to
simplify the expression and ultimately solve the expression. Instructional Strategies and Learning Tasks
Anticipatory Set:
Activity Description/Teacher
Student Actions
The teacher will begin the lesson by reviewing how to write and evaluate numerical expressions involving whole-number exponents
. Then introduce new vocabulary words like, variable, like terms, constant, and coefficient. Students will practice review questions in their math notebook. Then students will write down the new vocabulary words on the next page in their notebook. Presentation Procedures for New Information and/or Modeling:
Activity Description/Teacher
Student Actions
The teacher will show https://www.generationgenius.com/videole
ssons/intro-to-algebraic-expressions/
to introduce the new material. Students will actively watch the video being shown. Students will take notes in their notebook while the teacher is modeling the new process for solving
After the video the teacher will demonstrate how to evaluate algebraic expressions by substituting integers with a variable. Then demonstrate how to combine like terms to simplify. Finally, the teacher will model all steps to demonstrate the entire process with practice problems. algebraic expressions. Guided Practice:
Activity Description/Teacher
Student Actions
The teacher will hand out interactive notebook materials to students. The teacher will walk through each section of the interactive notebook with students
. Where they will define, simplify, solve, and create their own algebraic expressions.
As students are working on the interactive notebook, the teacher will walk around the room, taking mental notes of any student misconceptions. Students will use scissors, glue, colored pencils and pencils for cutting, gluing, and
coloring their interactive notebook. Students will follow instructions provided by the teacher. The students will define, simplify, solve, and create their own algebraic expressions. Independent Student Practice:
Activity Description/Teacher
Student Actions
After the interactive notebook has been
completed, the teacher will hand out a 10-question worksheet on algebraic expressions. Students will independently complete the 10-question worksheet on solving algebraic equations

Differentiated Instruction Consider how to accommodate for the needs of each type of student. Be sure that you provide content specific accommodations that help to meet a variety of learning needs.
Gifted and Talented:
The teacher would have them create their own expressions, and trade them with other high-level learners and solve each other's expressions.
EL:
For EL students, the teacher would have a teacher created a poster featuring pictures and words in both English and their native language.
Students with Other Special Needs:
Students with other special needs would receive explicit instruction from the teacher in small groups with fewer problems. Assessment
Formative
The teacher would use the Thumbs Up-Thumb Down assessment during direct instruction and while working through the interactive notebook. Summative
The Summative Assessment would consist of the following 10-question quiz: 3 + x = 18, x – 2 = 4, x + 4 = 6, 10 + x = 30, 15 – x = 5, x – 23 =11, x + 23 = 45, 53 – x = 43; Select which
of the following algebraic expressions; and write and solve their own algebraic expression. Students will show mastery of the lesson by answering eight out of ten questions correctly.
