Essential Question (3-5 MINS)
Develop a question that reflects the “big
idea” of the lesson and used to “hook”
students into thinking critically about the
content of the lesson through inquiry
based discussion or analytical writing.
Sponge/Warm-Up Activity (3-5 MINS)
Include an introductory activity that
activities prior knowledge and connects it
to the new concept or skill for this lesson.
Students will be able to recall information from the unit and create a website that reviews previous concepts.

How can functions be combined by adding,
subtracting, multiplying, or dividing
Students will copy the essential question on the left sides of their notebooks.
RTI Review of Systems of equations. Teacher
will post the warm up on the promethean board.
And give students 3-5 minutes to complete. The
teacher or a student will be selected to show
their answer on the board.
He’s only just begun
 Raheem has just gotten a new iPod. So
far, he has loaded 73 songs onto it. Each
of these 73 songs belongs to one of two
musical styles: R & B and Hip Hop. If he
has 21 more R&B songs than hip hop
songs, how many hip hop songs are on his
iPod so far?

Direct Teaching Activity (10-15 MINS)
Include a teacher-led activity in which the
new concept and/or skill is taught and
students take notes
Teacher will show 2 Khan academy videos.
One will demonstrate how to find the product of
functions.

Students will take Cornell notes on the right sides of their notebooks on “finding the sum
and difference of functions”
Students will summarize their notes and provide levels of questions.
One video will demonstrate how to find the quotient
of functions.

(20-55 MINS)
 Include an instructional activity that
requires students to apply what was
learned during the lesson’s opening
and provides the teacher with an
opportunity to assess student learning.
 Students (collaboratively or
independently) complete a product to
be submitted to the teacher for
review/assessment.
Teacher will pause the video intermittently and
answer all questions at the end of each video.
