uh hi welcome to manthology.ca for
grades seven and eight I thought we'd
start sharing a lesson with you and then
work our way back out to see all that
you'll find inside so here in this
lesson working on perfect squares and
square roots you see a little uh warm-up
activity
students a little bit of time to work on
some sample answers that we'd want to
talk about
and then we head into the activity
itself
this case students are going to be
working on some different numbers and
thinking about which of those numbers
make perfect squares
well that's the slides that we're
sharing with our students but for you
you can see all the support that's
available with each lesson so I found
that right here that was the lessons I
shared
but you see that the lessons are created
in a three-part structure there's a
little before activity of working on it
and a consolidation
in this case really highlighting square
numbers and perfect squares of making
those connections back to factors
and the array you see also what we're
highlighting for students so that we
really make that learning goal explicit
at the end of The Experience
guiding also with some accommodations
and extensions
and ideas and helping us think about
what we're looking for while students
are working so that's the sort of
structure that you find within all the
lessons I'll also open up the practice
because after the experience you know
you might want to give students a little
bit more practice so you'll see a
variety of questions there based on the
different categories in the achievement
chart
but there are also four tabs along the
top
so the first tab it gives us the
information about the lesson
links to the curriculum and processes
and the learning progression so this is
really the backbone of the work that's
found inside mathology all the lessons
are created and worked to help support
students with this development we could
see what came before and what comes
after this concept
I'm also going to jump over to this
assessment tab for us to think about
so this helps us to notice where
students are in their learning you see
sort of from left to right
with different things that we'll see and
hear students saying and doing but also
next steps suggested about how to
support students from moving forward
from that point in the development
so I'm going to scoot back at one level
now
and that was this lesson right here
investigating perfect squares and square
roots and that's part of our number of
relationships unit so you'll see uh
seven different lessons there
so that was one lesson but we know
effective learning comes across a
sequence of experiences in grades seven
and eight
they start with a Readiness task
so a quick little activity
to find out where our students are
a few questions just to get a sense
uh where they are those will always be
based on previous grade expectations so
you can see if we want more work related
to those Concepts we have links back to
what happened uh in the previous grade
that you could go and try
so that was the Readiness task then
there's a few activities here you can
see the titles and just to share at the
end I'll just jump to the last lesson uh
similar structure lessons there the
slides are there all those suggestions
assessments
Etc but I wanted to just share in the
last one you will notice there's also a
unit test that puts together the work
from all of those
so we wanted to give you the quick
overview without going into too many
details hopefully that was detailed
enough to really see what's there at the
lesson level and then at the sequence
level
you'll notice here on the side uh that
as of right now there's a few units that
are there and there's some more that are
coming soon so keep your eyes open for
those and I'll share one more thing with
you on the grade 7 8 World which is our
interactive math tools so you will
notice that I think you have those
activities that we just did so here's
the arrays there's one for square
numbers and square roots so you can see
how
the array that we use
helps us to think about the perfect
squares and square root numbers that we
have
and there's some others there of course
that was the one example that related to
that that particular lesson
so there's more to investigate there I I
hope that's enough to share for now the
only thing I'm going to do is jump back
to the home page just to show you how I
got there so you can see we have units
for all the grades plans they're all
complete up to grade six and right now
we're firming up our seven and eight so
I just clicked on the grade seven plan
and that's where I found that number
relationship evil bye for now uh
questions please ask take care
