Work on End of Year Project

End of Year Algebra Project

Featuring:

• The Real Numbers

• Fractional Equations

• Number Sequences

Goals:
They say that to really learn something really well, you must be able to teach it. The plan for this project is for you to learn and master one of the three remaining chapters and then be able to provide appropriate lessons to teach your peers what you have learned. Included in this should be a lesson with visual aids, activities that extend the work, a real world application (ie a word problem that your students can solve) and finally, an assignment of 10 meaningful problems that you will give for homework.

What to do each day – all to be done as a group:

1) Read each lesson from the chapter and do at least 5 Set II problems from each lesson. Ask if something is unclear.
2) Research other books’ methods to teaching the same topic. Look for applications and extensions. (You may use the teachers’ editions of the different books for different ideas of how to teach the topic AND the Internet for real world application). You must have at least 3 different sources for this project (only one of which can be a website).
3) Design a lesson plan with activities, visual aids and a problem set as homework.

The Lesson Plan should include the following headings:
