• Teacher sends objectives to parent
• Algebra IB Unit 1
• Objective 1 – Define relation, function, domain, and range.
• Objective 2 – Be able to determine if a relation is a function given
ordered pairs or a table.
• Objective 3 – Be able to determine if a relation is a function given a
graph (including 2 part piecewise)
• Objective 4 - Be able to identify the domain and range of a relation
given ordered pairs or a table.
• Objective 5 – Be able to identify the domain and range of a relation
given a graph (should be able to use inequality signs and interval
notation; include 2 part piecewise graphs as well)
• Objective 6 – Analyze a set of data for the existence of a pattern by
completing a table or sequence.
• Objective 7 – Be able to express a pattern as an equation given a
table.
Strategies
• Teach objectives using various techniques
• Cooperative Learning strategies
• Jigsaw puzzle for vocabulary
• Four corners
• Journal writing on understanding of a concept
• Selecting students at random
• Posting ideas on paper at different locations around the room
• Use of document camera to give notes
• Worksheets
Consistency

Second chance to work on objectives that weren’t mastered.
Success
• Remediation
• Other work for each objective that has not been mastered
• A chance to learn and to master
• Algebra IB Unit 1 examples:
• Make a set of flashcards for all of the vocabulary terms.
• Watch a video on determining domain, range, and whether a relation
is a function.
• Complete a study guide on Linear Functions and Graphs
• Complete the worksheet entitled Introduction to Functions
• Watch the PowerPoint entitled Patterns
Success
• Enrichment
• Special topics to enhance learning
• Opportunities to delve deeper into a concept
• Algebra IB Unit 1 Examples:
• Complete the Domain and Range Enrichment Worksheet
• Complete Modeling Real World Scenarios Worksheet
• Complete the Linear Equation Worksheet
• Geometry uses Enrichment Tests as an option
Consistency
• Test B – a second chance assessment for all students
• Each test has the same number of questions
• Each test has the same directions
• Each test has the same look and feel
• Only retest in the areas not mastered
• Test C – a third chance for the students that have
completed all homework and remediation
