Standard: Parametric and Polar Functions
 
REVIEW FOR TEST ON PARAMETRIC/POLAR/VECTOR IN CLASS
 
Learning Target: I can take derivatives and integrals of functions/relations in parametric/polar/vector representations. How do I can find arc length. I can find distance traveled. I can find speed. I can find displacement/position. I can convert from one number system to the other.
 
Success Criteria: I can substitute a variable in to an equation.  I can eliminate the parameter in a parametric equation. I can define a cartesian equation parametrically and vice versa. I can find the components of a vector. I can add/subtract/multiply/divide vectors. I can take the derivative/integral of a vector.I can transfer between cartesian and polar coordinates.  I know what r and theta mean. I can find the intersections between two polar curves. I can find when a polar curve is at the pole. 
Introduction/Connection: What are all of the topics we have learned in this unit? Which one do you need to study the most for the test tomorrow?

Direct Instruction: Go over the review questions and give necessary additional instruction
 
Guided Practice: Students work on problems while teacher moves around helping if needed

Independent/Collaborative Practice/Differentiation: scaffolding throughout lesson; application problems in HW
 

Summarizer/Check for Understanding: What is the hardest part about graphing polar?
 
Assessment: Teacher questioning and moving around the room helping individually
 
Assignment: Study for test
