1. Topic-
Properties of Exponents
 
2. Content-
California Standards NS2.1, NS2.3:
2.1
Understand negative whole-number exponents. Multiply and divide expressions involving exponents with a common base.

2.3
Multiply, divide, and simplify rational numbers by using exponent rules.

Terminology:
-Exponent
-Power
-Base
-Exponential Form
-Coefficients
 
3. Goals: Aims/Outcomes-
1. Understand terminology of power, base, exponent, exponential form
2. Understand the applications and operations of exponents
3.Be able to recognize and resolve properties of exponents
 
4. Objectives-
1.Students should be able to demonstrate on how to solve powers dealing with multiplication operations

2.Students should be able to demonstrate how to solve and apply powers with division operation
3. Students should be able to demonstrate and solve on how to raise a power when the base is surrounded with parenthesis, while the exponent is outside the base.
 
5. Materials and Aids-
Smartboard
Worsheet
PowerPoint
 
6. Procedures/Methods-

A. Introduction-

1. Terminology/Key words
2. Exponents and Bases
3. Three principal properties(Multiplication, Division, Subtraction, Addition) used in exponents.
 

B. Development-

1. A brief introduction about powers and bases, what they mean. I will use a pencil and an eraser to explain base and meaning of exponents
2. After I will use
3.
 

C. Practice-

1.Pair share
2. select random students by show of raised hands to do problems in the Smartboard
3. Ask questions about concepts, such as terminology, what properties are been used and should be used to solve the given problems.
 

D. Independent Practice-

1. Worksheets
2. Guided assistance through given problems
3. Revise key terms students may seem to struggle at, if the case is found to be difficult in certain areas, I will reteach using a different approach.
 

E. Accommodations (Differentiated Instruction)-

1. Use concrete white board, if the case is if the smartboard or technological issues appear.
2. Use student knowledge to show how much they know about key concepts
 

F. Checking for understanding-

1. Use the Smartboard as the main tool
2. Reinforce extra problems and assign students to actively participate their understanding of exponents, using the smartboard problems as their check for understanding
3. Appoint students to guide their peers sitting right beside them, if they seem to struggle
 

G. Closure-

1. By the end of the lesson I will go over the terminology learned
2. By the end of the lesson I will give one problem of each concept learned.
3. Lastly, I will ask students what they learned and what they enjoyed the most.
