Description
If you’re having trouble getting students to stay engaged, take quality notes, try practice problems in class, participate and ask questions in math class, this might be your solution!
This lesson balances the use of technology and paper-and-pencil mathematics in a way that students find engaging, and fun, and also provides you with data on student and class performance.
In this lesson students will learn: how to distribute binomials to other binomials, to trinomials, as well as learn to square and cube binomials and carefully read the difference between multiply and addition or subtraction. Key concepts and procedures are covered to help students understand how exponents are manipulated, what like terms are and are not, and how to successfully navigate these issues.
Here’s how it works.
- Students will be given a set of guided notes which follow the lesson plan, including objectives, vocabulary, guided and independent practice, as well as conceptual questions.
- You will use either a PowerPoint/Google Slides presentation or (optimal) a Quizzizz interactive lesson to work through the lesson.
- Quizzizz is a free online educational resource. This lesson includes a lesson in Quizzizz complete with bell work and lots of CFU (check for understanding questions). The Quizzizz software will broadcast the lesson live to computers or smartphones, and can also be assigned for independent practice.

It’s pretty simple to use. The efficacy is found in the engagement of students.
Each of these lessons is classroom tested and revised before being published for general public use.
How do I know these lessons work? I’ve done a semester-long study through several units. Two classes would be given the lessons more traditionally while two classes got the guided notes/quizzizz variety (GNQ). End-of-unit assessments were given and then the classes switched delivery methods for the following unit.
On average, the classes saw an 11% increase in performance on end-of-unit examination results when using the GNQ lessons.
