CONTENT VOCABULARY CONCEPTS• Term - a number, a variable , or a product or

quotient of a number and one or more variables raised to powers.

• Coefficient - the number in front of the variable; “1” if no number is present.

• Variable - a letter representing an unknown quantity.

MATERIAL AND RESOURCES• Mimio electronic whiteboard and the associated software.• A large whiteboard to use to project the Mimio screen

onto and to write comments on. Also can print copies of the Mimio work done in class as well as saving it for later use.

• Handouts related to the identification of terms, exponents, coefficients, constants, variables, expressions and equations would be needed.

• Handouts identifying Howard Gardner’s Multiple Intelligences

• A magnetic whiteboard and the magnetic letters which little kids play with in their little alphabet-reader toys. Use the magnetic letters to demonstrate the concepts of terms, coefficients, variables, exponents, expressions, and equations. Have the students demonstrate their grasp of the understanding of the concepts related to terms using this magnetic whiteboard.
