**Phase 3: Decide on Objectives and Assessments**

 * PAMELA, SUSAN, and ASHLEY**


 * Attitudes toward algebra - At least 80% of students will show an increase in attitude toward algebra from the pre-survey given at the beginning of the unit, to the post-survey given at the end of the unit.**

=
Many students tend to get nervous when they hear they are going to be learning algebra. The second and third lessons allow the students to make the connection between the concepts from math today and the concepts they learned from whey they were younger through videos clips they used to watch from sesame street.====== 


 * Knowledge of algebra content - Throughout the unit the teacher will use exit slips to determine the students understanding of the daily concepts. A check list will be made to track their progress and determine which students need more instruction in specific concept areas. Daily instruction will be determined based upon the progress of the students and re-teaching may occur to reach mastery on the quiz.**

=
Every student is different. Some students need to visually see material, while others need to hear it, and still others need to physically do it. These lessons allows students to experience all three of these learning styles. They should be able to grasp the basic concepts of algebra in  a variety of situations. ======


 * Students will evaluate variable expressions.
 * Students will write variable expressions and equations.
 * Students will be able to identify the parts of a variable expression. (terms, like terms, coefficient, constant terms)
 * Students will simplify variable expressions.
 * Students will be able to solve one-step equations.
