Lesson 2 - Lesson Plan

Objective:

Students will graph a point on a number line, given the coordinate of the point, use real numbers to describe real-life situations, and compare real numbers

Jump to Movie

Procedure / Development of Learning Activity:

1. Give a brief lecture about real numbers such as natural and whole numbers and integers.
Natural = 1,2,3..., Whole = 0,1,2,..., Integers = ....-2,-1,0,-1,....
2. Given the coordinates of A,B, and C on the graph. The students will tell what number is the coordinate of these letters.

3. Given several real-life situations to the students, have them write the appropriate algebraic expressions.

• 25 degrees above zero
• a 5 yard loss in football
• withdrawal of $250 from a checking account
• a gain of 1-1/2 on the stock market

4. Give a better concept of how to identify > (greater than) or < (less than) by using the chalkboard.

Examples:

1) 3 __ -2	4) -5 __ -3	Bonus) -1000 __ 0
2) -2 __ 3	5) -2 __ -1
3) 0 __ -4	6) 5 __ -6
