ED 467: INTERN TEACHING: ______
Candidate: Date:
Alina Sturgis 3-6-17

Content Area: Math Integrated Grade Level: 8

Subject Matter:
Exponential Equations
Lesson Content Description:
-Solving exponential equations

Instructional Strategies/Method of Delivery:

-Class notes (white board), examples/ guided practice problems, assignment
in small groups/ partners.
Common Core Standard:
CCSS.Math.Content.HSA.SSE.B.3.c
Use the properties of exponents to transform expressions for exponential
functions. For example the expression 1.15t can be rewritten as (1.151/12)12t
1.01212t to reveal the approximate equivalent monthly interest rate if the
annual rate is 15%.
ELD Standard:
Interpretive expanding
6. Reading/viewing closely
a. Explain ideas, phenomena, processes, and text relationships (e.g.,
compare/ contrast, cause/effect, problem/solution) based on close reading of
a variety of grade-appropriate texts and viewing of multimedia, with
moderate support
Common Core Lesson Objective:
ASWBT use the Power Property of Equality and the other properties of
exponents to colve exponential equations.

Assessment:
Formative:
Oral questioning, discussion, circulating the room, guided practice problems,
homework assignment
Summative: n/a

Lesson/Assessment Modifications: ELL: Special Needs

- Vocabulary, video
Technology: Describe the types of technology you will be utilizing in your
lesson to create and enhance instruction
If no technology is used, please explain why.
