For this unit, I wanted to explore what it was like to write lesson plans for a high school mathematics class. Algebra was one of my favorite classes in high school and I was interested in writing out lessons for that subject. I believe algebra is a very computational heavy course and I wanted to find a way to explore how to teach that and convey the rules in an engaging way. I wanted to write this unit for 9th grade because I love how 9th graders are still young and getting use to high school; therefore, I believe they will be more willing to get up and try new things.
This unit includes the exploration of The Real Number System, specifically rational numbers, irrational numbers, and exponents and how they relate to the Real Number System. By exploring the exponents first, we see how various exponents effect each number. For example, 3^-2 makes the number 1/9, but 3^2 is just 9. We learn these rules first and

The summative assessment has two parts. The first focuses on students expressing their thought process in an interview- like assessment. By doing this, students are asked to justify their thinking, convince the assessor why they are correct, and think critically about the problems given to them. This will allow the assessor to ask the question why, something a written test cannot do. Having students explain this why asks them to pull from all they learned in this past unit. If they are successful in this, it is then evident they learned something from the unit and what was taught. For the second assessment, it asks many different types of questions, including true/false, multiple choice, open ended, and word problems. By doing this, students are having to use their knowledge and understanding of the material and apply it to many different types of
“One thing is certain: The human brain has serious problems with calculations. Nothing in its evolution prepared it for the task of memorizing dozens of multiplication facts or for carrying out the multistep operations required for two-digit subtraction.” (Sousa, 2015, p. 35). It is amazing the things that our brain can do and how our brain adapt to perform these kind of calculations. As teachers, we need to take into account that our brain is not ready for calculations, but it can recognize patterns.
In Tovani’s Chapter 8, “What Do I Do with All These Sticky Notes?” Assessment That Drives Instruction, the focus is on assessment methods in the classroom. Tovani starts off by introducing a story about her students’ curiosity regarding tests, and she responds by explaining what she expects from her class. Moreover, the chapter explains an educator’s outlook on tests and how they are applied. Aside from the views, the process for selecting assessments is also mentioned.
It also addresses procedural fluency in that students, with conceptual understanding, will “perform operations,” building on the arithmetic skills they already have with their procedural fluency of exponent laws. Students will use problem-solving skills when they must decipher context to find relevant information in order to perform operations in scientific notation. The lesson 1 learning objective, “given a very large or small number, scholars will be able to write an expression equal to it using a power of 10 and identify whether or not a number is written in scientific notation,” will address conceptual understanding and mathematical reasoning as students make a connection between powers of 10 and their prior knowledge of place value, understanding that the power of 10 has meaning. Students must then use mathematical reasoning to judge how large or small a power of 10 is.

The summative assessment is a performance task that asks the student to gather all the class discussions, readings, homework, do now m.e.p’s, in class work, journals and exit slips and answer the essential question by creating a claim and supporting their argument with evidence(see assessment--). Students are formulating original ideas and creating a thesis that address and answers the essential
Unit Plan One: Law of Exponents Fauato Aokuso EDCI 556: Transformative Mathematics in the Differentiated Classroom University of Concordia, Portland I want to transform a Unit Plan for Exponents Rules, because exponent is one of the math components that some of the students have trouble solving. Some students have problem with it when they think about repeated addition and repeated multiplication. If I teach the basic rules of exponents, students will understand the difference between the multiplication and exponents. The other problem students mostly have trouble with in exponents is variables. Students need to understand the basics of solving exponential equation with variables.
Assessments are a teacher’s tool that builds a profile on student’s growth and are the “tell-tell” detectors that provide the with teacher information on a student who may need additional services in and beyond the
The NCTM has realized that writing is now an important component in mathematics. Their Principles and Standards for Schools
In this discussion, I would like to analyze two sets of STEM subjects: the common core standards of Mathematical Practices and the ISTE Standards, which are focused on technology. The ISTE Standards emphasize the competences needed for learning, teaching, and leading in the digital world, providing a roadmap for success in technology within schools. These standards ensure that achieving success in technology leads to impactful, sustainable, accessible, and equitable experiences for students in education. Similarly, the Mathematical Practices focus on the knowledge that mathematics teachers need to provide techniques that promote critical thinking and proficiencies with a long history in mathematics (National Governors Association, 2010).

I wish to apply for the job advertised as a employment officer which I saw advertised on the seek website. I am in my final year at Univeristy of Sydney, studying Social WOrk. I have a long-standing interest in charity work and believe that I have the qualities and experience required to be a successful contributor for your team. My enthusiasm for pursuing a career in this area stems from my interest in working with disadvantaged young people, and my desire to make full use of my skills in motivating people to make a difference. Looking through the Endeavour Foundation I am able to establish that this organistaion fulfill my desire to expand myself by working in a diability focused company.
I incorporate this learned experience daily and learn through each success and discovered area of improvement. Addressing my students needs using a variety of assessment tools has been a beneficial practice to help guide instruction. Students have different learning styles and their strengths and weaknesses are not always apparent using the same methods of assessment. Utilizing formative, standards(goal)-based, anecdotal, observational and benchmarks has driven my instructional programs. The combination of different assessments provides me with a multi-dynamic perspective of my students allowing me to better understand their strengths, weakness and academic needs.
