Lesson Plan

Learning Objective

Navigate the directed acyclic graph (DAG) of 200 algebra concepts to understand learning progressions.

Audience and Prerequisites

Designed for Algebra I students in grade 9. Students should have arithmetic fluency and introductory familiarity with algebraic notation.

Suggested Activity

  1. Ask students to make a prediction before interacting with controls or moving parameters.
  2. Use the search bar to locate specific concepts (e.g., 'Slope-Intercept Form') and view direct prerequisites and downstream dependencies.
  3. Compare the visual model directly with the symbolic algebraic expression.
  4. Have students summarize their observations in a single sentence.

Assessment

Students identify all prerequisites required to learn a target concept.
