=Instructional Plan/Learning Activities= //Hook:// [|Let's Get Metric]; this will show a little history about metric system and some people's views on America using imperial system. //Learning Activity:// [|Describing Wheel], [|Think-Pair-Share] //Artifact:// **Glogster**: Students will have to create a Glogster that would explain how to convert from imperial system to the metric system and vice versa using the conversion factors. It would be as if the audience reading the Glogster has no idea how to convert and would use the student's site as a resource. [] || Students will understand that calculations can be made by find values of multiple variables, and how to convert units of measurement. || Students will know how to convert from imperial system to the metric system. || Students will be able to relate the differences between imperial system and the metric system used in other parts of the world. || MLR: Mathematics B:Data Grade 8 Students understand and use derived measures. || //Hook:// [|Unit Mixups]; this site has several stories about how mixing conversions causes huge errors. //Learning Activity:// [|Describing Wheel], [|Partners] //Artifact:// **Podcast**: Students will have to create a podcast and list some advantages of converting measurements to larger or smaller units. || Students will understand that calculations can be made by find values of multiple variables, and how to convert units of measurement. || Students will know how to convert derived measurements. || Students will be able to realize that measurements can be represented in many forms. || MLR: Mathematics B:Data Grade 8 Students understand and use derived measures. || //Hook:// [|Velocity Flash Game]; after playing this game, students will have to a chance to discuss what relates to velocity. //Learning Activity:// [|Time Line], [|Team-Pair-Solo] //Artifact:// **Pollseverywhere.com**: Students will be given questions they will need to solve using the equation v=d/t. They will have to text their answer to the website and include their name in the answer. The teacher will mark if the student answer the question correctly or not. || Students will understand that calculations can be made by find values of multiple variables, and how to convert units of measurement. || Students will know how to calculate measurements using multiple variables in the equation velocity=distance/time. || Students will be able to solve the equation v=d/t for different variables. || MLR: Mathematics B:Data Grade 8 Students understand and use derived measures. || //Hook:// Have students compare the sizes of different objects in the classroom. This can represent change in surface area. //Learning Activity:// [|Cluster/Web 3], [|Think-Pair-Share] //Artifact:// **Blog**: Students will create a blog with entries comparing the equations used to determine surface areas of circles, rectangles, and triangles. Each shape will have it's own entry and examples of finding the surface area of the shape. || Students will that formulas are needed to calculate areas, surface areas, and volumes of spheres and circles. || Students will know how to calculate surface area of circles, rectangles, and triangles. || Students will be able to compare the area measurements of circles, rectangles, and triangles. || MLR: Mathematics C: Geometry Grade 8 Students find the volume and surface area of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and other figures composed of these solids. || //Hook:// Blow up a balloon in class. As the balloon expands, discuss the change in volume that is taking place. //Learning Activity:// [|Flow Chart], [|Partner] //Artifact:// **iMovie**: Students will be separated into groups and each group will have to create a video where they will be given different shaped spheres. Students will have to guess how much water would fit in the spheres using the equation for volume of a sphere. || Students will that formulas are needed to calculate areas, surface areas, and volumes of spheres and circles. || Students will know how to calculate volume of spheres. || Students will be able to imagine how big or small spheres can be. || MLR: Mathematics C: Geometry Grade 8 Students find the volume and surface area of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and other figures composed of these solids. || //Hook:// Use [|Plusman]to intrigue students on using math as a subject in a comic book. //Learning Activity:// [|Cluster/Web 3], [|RoundRobin Brainstorming] //Artifact:// **ComicLife**: Students will have to take the main concepts they learned in this unit and create a story of a space cadet traveling through space and the different situations. Using ComicLife, students will have to include a situation about conversion, velocity, and volume or area. || Students will that formulas are needed to calculate areas, surface areas, and volumes of spheres and circles. & Students will understand that calculations can be made by find values of multiple variables, and how to convert units of measurement. || Students will know how conversions, v=d/t, surface areas, and volume relate to one another. || Students will be able to illustrate how conversions, v=d/t, surface areas, and volume relate to one another. || MLR: Mathematics B:Data Grade 8 Students understand and use derived measures. & MLR: Mathematics C: Geometry Grade 8 Students find the volume and surface area of prisms, pyramids, cylinders, and other figures composed of these solids. ||
