Unit of Instruction for Precalculus (Number Patterns)

     This is chapter one of my precalculus class that I am teaching.  All of the materials for the unit will be displayed in this post at various points.  First, here is a link for my unit outline.


     Some useful resources I have found for this unit and any other mathematics units are as follows:

1. National Library of Virtual Manipulatives 
2. Illuminations - NCTM  
3. Good visuals that you can subscribe to or use for 5 min. 

   A few lessons from the unit are given below: 

1. Arithmetic Sequences
2. Lines

   Here is a link to a student's work that was of lower quality.  They didn't show any work or to complete problems. See Here.


   Here is a link to a student's work that was of higher quality.  Notice the attention to detail and completeness.  See Here.

Classroom Setup

For the past two weeks I have been able to decorate and set up my classroom.  I found out I am teaching six different sections of Algebra 1 and Precalculus totaling 138 students!

Our classroom is the door in the back left corner.  I will be having help from two special education workers which will be very helpful and create a wonderful opportunity for every student.

We have a Promethean ActivBoard in our room so I am excited to use that in my lessons and incorporate the technology aspect to keep interest level high!

Some various posters that I hung up to "spice" up the room.
