= Purpose of the Unit = This unit is designed to give students a basic introduction into algebra. At the completion of the unit the students will have an understanding of equations and inequalities.

=Rationale of the Unit = This unit topic is important for building a foundation of the basic concepts of algebra. This will help students get a better understanding before entering high school which will help them succeed giving them confidence. The cooperative learning activities will give students a chance to learn from each other and be social creating new relationships in my classroom.

=Goals of the Unit = 1. Write and evaluate algebraic equations 2. Combine like terms 3. Solve one-step equations 4. Solve and graph solutions of one-step inequalities

=Instructional Objectives of the Unit = 1. The students will be able to write and evaluate variables and expressions. 2. The students will be able to translate word phrases into mathematical expressions. 3. The students will be able to take algebraic expressions and write word phrases. 4. The students will be able to solve equations using addition and subtraction. 5. The students will be able to define the vocabulary words from the chapter. 6. The students will be able to solve equations using multiplication and division. 7. The students will be able to solve, graph, and write inequalities.

=Unit Overview = Throughout this unit the students will be developing a basic understanding and foundation of algebra. The students will be introduced to these concepts by using group work, games, smart board activities, and projects. I will give most instruction using the smart board and followed by a project or a group activity. It is important that throughout the unit assessments are taking frequently to help catch the students who don’t understand a concept before it is too late since algebra builds onto each lesson. My assessment plan is an outline of how I accommodate the different students in my classroom based on their learning abilities.
