Essential Question

Why is it important to know the key terms?

What makes a function a function?

Why is knowing the definition and an example of a term so important in mathematics?

Lesson Objective(s)

Students will be able to:

 Communicate the definitions of variable, value, variable expression, exponent, Base of a

Power, equation, order of operation, domain, range, and function

 Apply their understanding of the terms into mathematics

 Translate the definitions into their own words

Criteria for Success

Formative Assessment:

Teacher will assess prior knowledge using the Knowledge Rating sheets. Teacher will also be

able to informally assess by listening to paired discussion during the scavenger hunt and can

clear up misconceptions.

Scavenger hunt worksheets can also be used to further assess understanding of mathematical

terms.

All around the world oral discussion can also be used to assess informally.

Summative Assessment:

Math journals will provide a culminating assessment in true understand of terms and can be

evaluated using a scoring guide.
