 * Kinesthetic**: Students will then solve and graph simple functions using a graphing calculator.
 * Logical:** Students will then solve and graph simple functions using a graphing calculator.
 * Interpersonal:** Students will form groups and compare what they have found to be the importance of graphing functions using a wiki discussion board.
 * Linguistic:** students will form groups and compare what they have found to be the importance of graphing functions using a wiki discussion board. ||
 * **Modifications/Accommodations**

Absent students are responsible for getting the appropriate information given in class by using the class wiki. The class wiki will have an outline of what we did in class. Any handouts used in class will be uploaded to the class wiki for absent students to download and print off. Absent students will have an extra class period to finish the work they missed. If assignments are not completed for the extra day they will not receive credit for the assignment. || Students will use a wiki discussion board to talk about the research they have found about the importance of graphing functions. Other students will comment on the research they have found and maybe make suggestions. Students will incorporate hyper-links to support their research. ||

Students will also be following the class wiki which will incorporate technology into the class room. Students will also be using a graphing calculator to graph the equations they have solved for. ||
 * =Maine Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale= ||
 * __Standard 3__ - Demonstrates a knowledge of the diverse ways in which students learn and develop by providing learning opportunities that support their intellectual, physical, emotional, social, and cultural development.
 * Rationale:** This lesson demonstrates Standard 3 for the Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale because students are using multiple resources to form a list of the importance of graphing functions. Students are free to compile a list and form their own ideas on what they think is the importance of graphing functions. Students are forced to be organized with their research and to have structure with their ideas; that is the only way they will be able to successfully put their thoughts together on the wiki discussion page. During their research students will analyze different concepts they have found through deep exploration on the internet and discussion with their partners as well as the class on the wiki discussion. During this discussion my class will be supportive of other students ideas. This will provide a comfortable atmosphere that all students will feel confident in sharing what they have found on the internet. ||
 * __Standard 4__ - Plans instruction based upon knowledge of subject matter, students, curriculum goals, and learning and development theory.
 * Rationale:** This lesson demonstrates Standard 4 for the Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale because I will give an overview on the importance of graphing functions. For example, graphing functions helps you find values of x and the y-intercepts. It is important to graph functions because this allows you to visualize what the function looks like which allows you to analyze the function much easier. Graphing functions will help you solve equations and it will also help you find different plot points without plugging the numbers into the formula, you can just analyze the graph. ||
 * __Standard 5__ - Understands and uses a variety of instructional strategies and appropriate technology to meet students’ needs.
 * Rationale:** This lesson demonstrates Standard 5 for the Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale because here is a list of the different intelligences incorporated into this lesson plan. This will teach to a variety of students that all learn different ways:
 * Visual:** Students will view an informational video on the importance of graphing functions.
 * Intrapersonal****:** Students will then research themselves on the importance of graphing functions.
 * Kinesthetic**: Students will then solve and graph simple functions using a graphing calculator.
 * Logical:** Students will then solve and graph simple functions using a graphing calculator.
 * Interpersonal:** Students will form groups and compare what they have found to be the importance of graphing functions using a wiki discussion board.
 * Linguistic:** students will form groups and compare what they have found to be the importance of graphing functions using a wiki discussion board.
 * __Standard 8__ - Understands and uses a variety of formal and informal assessment strategies to evaluate and support the development of the learner.
 * Rationale:** This lesson demonstrates Standard 8 for the Standards for Initial Teacher Certification and Rationale because students will have a formal assessment by using a KWL Chart. The KWL Chart allows students to assess what they know about the importance of graphing functions prior to the lesson. Formal assessment will also be used throughout the class by other students giving positive feedback to the ideas students have found on the importance of graphing functions. Summative assessment will be assessed by a wiki page designed by the students about the importance of graphing functions. Students will incorporate the wiki discussion formed in class with other students about the research they have found. The wiki page will be graded as a way for me to understand how well students know the importance of graphing functions. ||


 * =Teaching and Learning Sequence:= ||
 * Students will first be seated by at their own desk in a u-shaped style of seating. This way every students can see me at the board as well as the other students in the class.

Agenda
 * KWL Chart
 * Discussion on what students know.
 * Group research
 * Wiki discussion

Students will be able to understand the use of the graphing functions. This can connect to finding the arc of a basketball on the way to the hoop. Students will solve families of equations. Students will view an informational video on [|graphing functions]. This video will be an introductory of graphing basic functions. (10 min)
 * Where, Why, What, Hook Tailor: Visual, Logical** ||
 * Students will know the use of graphing functions: i.e. Quadratic formula. Students will use a KWL Chart to first self-assess what they know about the importance of graphing functions. These will be placed on the desk prior to students arrival to the class. Dave Matthews Band will be played in the back round while students fill out their KWL Chart. I will then give a five minute overview of the importance of graphing functions. This will provide students with an outline with the importance of graphing functions.Students will research with a partner the use of graphing functions using the internet on the class laptops I have booked for the class for fifteen minutes. We have a five minute discussion about what students have found, this will allow me to quickly assess them and check for understanding. (35 min)
 * Equip, Explore, Rethink, Tailor: Kinesthetic, Intrapersonal** ||
 * Students will create a wiki discussion discussing the research they have found using the internet on the importance of graphing functions for fifteen minutes. Students will be able to describe the importance of graphing functions. Students will be grouped into pairs to do the research on the internet. Each student will find the importance of graphing functions. Students will then conform what they have both found into a paired idea and then they will share that idea on the class wiki. Students will view what other students have posted on the class wiki and this will give them an opportunity to rethink what they have found and possibly make changes. (20 min)
 * Explore, Experience, Rethink, Revise, Refine, Tailors:** **Interpersonal, Linguistic** ||
 * Students will write a journal entry on their likes and dislikes of this method of learning for ten minutes. Did students enjoy the research, and working with other students? Did students find this task to be useful? This will give me a more in depth idea of what students are thinking about this task. To wrap up we will discuss the thoughts of students, this will be a basic overview of their journal entry. This lesson will help them with graphing functions for homework. This also connects to future assignments because students will need to know the importance of graphing functions in order to graph more complex functions such as conic sections. (15 min)
 * Evaluate, Tailors: Linguistic, Interpersonal** ||
