= **Algebra I 9-3 Multiplying Binomials** = = =

**Iste Standards:**
 4c. collect and analyze data to identify solutions and/or make informed decisions.  6b. select and use applications effectively and productively.  6c. troubleshoot systems and applications.  6d. transfer current knowledge to learning of new technologies.

===**Learners:** 2 sections of 8th graders (about 40-50 students), 2-3 students on IEP’s, 2-3 on 504’s, and 3 ELL students, visual, verbal, logical, kinesthetic, musical, interpersonal, and intrapersonal intelligences ===

**Objectives:** to multiply binomials using the FOIL Method and the Box Method
 to multiply trinomials by binomials by using the Distributive Method and the Box Method

===**Lesson:** I will first demonstrate the process of multiplying binomials on the interactive whiteboard in my classroom. ===  Once students have tried a few problems in the classroom, students will then take out their 1:1 iPad 2 (since this is only a fantasy right now – students will need to go to the computer lab) and play an interactive game that I created on Quia ([]). Using this handout, students will be directed to the class website.  They will be able to practice multiplying binomials and trinomials by playing Challenge Board (similar to Jeopardy) and Battleship which are two games I created in a relatively short time. They could also play Rags to Riches, a game that was created by another member of Quia and is available for anyone to play even without a membership. All practice games will be tracked online by my Quia grade book. It will keep track of the time each student spends on each activity.

After practicing the activities the students will either make a 2-3 slide PowerPoint presentation or a Jing explaining how to multiply binomials by either using the FOIL Method, Distribution, or the Box Method.  ===**Assessment:** The students will then take an online Quizthat was created by another Quia member as an assessment that will be placed in the online grade book managed by Quia. === They will also be assessed on their presentation of teaching the material to their peers by PowerPoint or Jing using a rubric.

<span style="color: #590359; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">**Knowledge:** Students know what the acronym FOIL means when being applied to multiplying binomials <span style="color: #590359; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">**Comprehension:** Students know how to apply FOIL to a problem, know how to set up a box, and know how to break down a binomial times a trinomial into two distribution problems. <span style="color: #590359; font-family: 'Lucida Sans Unicode','Lucida Grande',sans-serif;">**Application.** Students know how to multiply the parts and then add the like terms.
