Observation Assignment 4

1) What do you think the objective is?

Students will determine if a given function can be written in standard form by examining the equation of the function.

Students will write linear functions in the standard form of Ax+By=C and identify the A, B, and C of their newly written function in standard form.

2) What level of Bloom’s Taxonomy is that?

Objective 1 falls under Analysis.

Objective 2 falls under Application.

3) How will you assess it in 10 minutes or less?

A short quiz with the following questions would be appropriate.

1. Can y= 3x+2 be written in standard form? If yes, what is the standard from and what are the A, B, and C from the general formula of a linear equation written in standard form?

2. Can y=2/x - 4 be written in standard form? If yes, what is the standard form and what are the A, B, and C from the general formula of a linear equation written in standard form?

3. Can y=x/3 + x -1 be written in standard form? If yes, what is the standard from and what are the A, B, and C from the general formula of a linear equation written in standard form?

The first question is worth 5 points, with 2 points given to the correct yes or no answer and 1 point given for correctly identifying each of A, B, and C.  The second question is 2 points for a correct yes or no answer, since the answer is no.  The third question is 2 points for a correct yes or no answer, since the answer is no.
