Pre-Assessment for Differentiation
For High School Algebra 1
By Brooklynn Ramos
Pre-Assessment Quiz on Quadratic Equations: Polynomial Operations
Group 1:
Students who correctly answered a majority of the Pre-Assessment questions
Differentiated Instruction Strategies
Bull's Eye Polynomial Sheet:
Students independently work on practicing their understanding of polynomials
Polynomial Jeopardy:
Students work in pairs on the computer playing polynomial jeopardy with each other.
Rags to Riches Polynomial Game
Students can choose to play this game independently, instead of jeopardy if they prefer.
Dividing polynomials by monomials challenge!
Students will watch videos on this topic,
such as this one,
to test their understanding and learn about dividing polynomials. This is not a part of this lesson specifically, but they could see it in future math classes if they continue to Algebra II.
Assessment Strategies
Have students work individually and create a quiz for each other.
Students create a foldable and create their own examples for each operation
Whiteboard Questions
: Students are given whiteboards and a couple problems to solve, I can walk around the room and easily check their understanding. Virtually, I use Whiteboard.fi which is an awesome online resource to check a whole classes understanding at once.
Group 2:
Students who demonstrated they have some knowledge on the Pre-Assessment.
Differentiated Instruction Strategies
Mini Lesson:
led by teacher on like terms, identifying them and combining them
Algebra Tiles for Operations with Polynomials:
Students are introduced to the activity by the teacher, and then work in pairs with algebra tiles to complete the remaining problems.
Polynomial Operations Row Game:
Students work with their partner to solve problem A or B, then both of their answers need to be added together. If their answer doesn't match the value in the center column, they work together to find their mistake.
Multiplying polynomials with a table and FOIL:
tables and FOIL. First, students will learn about using tables to multiply binomials and then polynomials, similar to this. Then they will be introduced to multiplication with FOIL, like this. Students will have the option to use either method, depending on their preference.
Assessment Strategies
Exit Tickets:
A very popular method of assessing students understanding after a lesson. Including questions about like terms and operations with polynomials. The teacher can go through students answers and decide if students understanding has grown from the activities.
Homework:
Since class only meets twice a week, giving a homework with similar problems seen in class is a great way for students to continue individual learning. Then, the teacher can have students pair up the next class and go over a specific problem, and share it with the class as a warm up.
Whiteboard Questions:
Students are given whiteboards and a couple problems to solve, I can walk around the room and easily check their understanding. Virtually, I use Whiteboard.fi which is an awesome online resource to check a whole classes understanding at once.
Students create a foldable and create their own examples for each operation
Group 3:
Students who have limited knowledge, are struggling with language or have no comprehension.
Differentiated Instruction Strategies
Mini Lesson:
led by teacher on like terms, identifying them, and combining them. After this, having them work on identifying like terms independently. Then checking to see if immediate review needs to be done.
Algebra Tiles for Operations with Polynomials:
Students are introduced to this activity at the same time as Group 2, but will receive more hands on support and check-ins.
Special Needs:
Modifications and Accommodations as listed on IEP or 504. For example:
Worked out examples and steps to follow along with for any activities.
Cloze notes for any activities to support and accommodate certain students.
Use of calculator or multiplication chart
Extra time to complete activities
Verbal answers or descriptions
Struggling with English
Handouts with step by step directions translated to their language
All materials and activities translated
Cloze notes or worked examples, translated
Multiplying polynomials with a table and FOIL:
tables and FOIL. First, students will learn about using tables to multiply binomials and then polynomials, similar to this. Then they will be introduced to multiplication with FOIL, like this. Students will have the option to use either method, depending on their preference.
Assessment Strategies
Exit Tickets:
A very popular method of assessing students understanding after a lesson. Including questions about like terms and operations with polynomials. The teacher can go through students answers and decide if students understanding has grown from the activities.
Modified to fit accommodations and translated when necessary. Verbal answers or descriptions also accepted
Homework:
Since class only meets twice a week, giving a homework with similar problems seen in class is a great way for students to continue individual learning. Then, the teacher can have students pair up the next class and go over a specific problem, and share it with the class or small group as a warm up.
Check for understanding:
Give students similar problems to an exit ticket, let them work on it in class and then explain their thoughts to a partner or teacher
Whiteboard Questions:
Students are given whiteboards and a couple problems to solve, I can walk around the room and easily check their understanding. Virtually, I use Whiteboard.fi which is an awesome online resource to check a whole classes understanding at once.
