Lesson #1 –April 5th 2018

(Teacher and Student Activities)

Class: 8-20/ 8-33 Date: April 5th 2018

Title: Introduction to the new Unit Grade Level: Math 8

Objective of Lesson (in own words):

In this lesson, the aim will be to introduce the Integers unit to the students. The lesson will be used to revisit number
properties (whole numbers, integers, rationales, decimals, negative, and positive numbers), understand real world
applications of increase and decreases, and set up the platform for learning multiplication and division of integers later
on. Students will also revisit addition and subtraction of integers.
We will use a Kahoot, to assess previous knowledge and get in the mindset for working with integers.
We will also play the integer card game.

Learner Outcomes (Program of Studies) Plan for Diversity (Differentiated Instruction)

- Demonstrate an understanding of multiplication - Students will be presented the material though

and division of integers, concretely, pictorially different forms such as Smart board, white
and symbolically. board examples, group work, individual work
periods, assigned homework, class discussion,
- Operations with integers: activities to encourage partner discussion, fun
interactive games, and a formal unit test.

- Grade 7, Number SO 6 – Demonstrate an - Supplemental practice questions will be

understanding of addition and subtraction of provided for students needing extra practice, as
integers, concretely, pictorially and symbolically. well as additional teacher help will also be made
[C, CN, PS, R, V] available during and outside of class time.

- Grade 8, Number SO 7 – Demonstrate an

understanding of multiplication and division of
integers, concretely, pictorially and symbolically.
[C, CN, PS, R, V]

- TODAY: aiming to introduce the integers unit

and to review adding and subtracting integers
(integer line horizontal and vertical, integer chips)

Prerequisite Knowledge, Skills, Strategies and Preliminary Matters (Announcements, etc.)

Attitudes

- Understanding of integers on a number line.

- Addition and subtraction of integers.
- Can visually, orally, and pictorially demonstrate
integer operations.
