This lesson draws upon students’ understanding of claims and evidence from the previous lesson as well as what makes evidence relevant, which they learned in Module 2. It offers a review for all students, which will help any who may not have been present in Module 2

This lesson continues to draw upon students’ use of video and text to clarify the issue of water sustainability. In addition, students review their homework and check their thinking based on text-based evidence.

Students will build upon reasoning of ratios and rates to formally define proportional relationships and the constant of proportionality. They explore multiple representations of proportional relationships by looking at tables, graphs, equations, and verbal descriptions, extend their understanding about ratios and proportional relationships to compute unit rates for ratios and rates specified by rational numbers.

Students will use an Integer Card Game that creates a conceptual understanding of integer operations and serves as a mental model students can rely on during the module. They will build on their understanding of rational numbers to add, subtract, multiply, and divide signed numbers.

Students will use linear equations to solve unknown angle problems and other problems presented within context to understand that solving algebraic equations is all about the numbers. They use the number line to understand the properties of inequality and recognize when to preserve the inequality and when to reverse the inequality when solving problems leading to inequalities. They also interpret solutions within the context of problems. Additionally, students extend their study of geometric figures and the relationships between them as they apply their work with expressions and equations to solve problems

This packet contains a curriculum-embedded Common Core?aligned task and instructional supports. The task is embedded in a 2?3 week unit on proportional relationships, linear equations, and slopes. In this unit, students will build on previous work with proportional relationships and unit rates. Students will deepen their understanding of functions and linear equations. In this series of tasks, students will graph proportional relationships and interpret the unit rate as the slope of the line. In addition to deriving and interpreting the equation y = mx + b, students will construct a function to model a linear relationship between two quantities. Students will also explore similar triangles and use them to explain why the slope is constant between any two points on a given line.

Students will expand their basic knowledge of positive integer exponents and prove the Laws of Exponents for any integer exponent. Next, students work with numbers in the form of an integer multiplied by a power of 10 to express how many times as much one is than the other. This leads into an explanation of scientific notation and continued work performing operations on numbers written in this form.

In Grade 8 Module 1, students expand their basic knowledge of positive integer exponents and prove the Laws of Exponents for any integer exponent. Next, students work with numbers in the form of an integer multiplied by a power of 10 to express how many times as much one is than the other. This leads into an explanation of scientific notation and continued work performing operations on numbers written in this form.

Students will learn about translations, reflections, and rotations in the plane and, more importantly, how to use them to precisely define the concept of congruence.

Students will learn about dilation and similarity and apply that knowledge to a proof of the Pythagorean Theorem based on the Angle-Angle criterion for similar triangles.

Students will extend what they already know about unit rates and proportional relationships to linear equations and their graphs. Students understand the connections between proportional relationships, lines, and linear equations in this module.

Students will learn more about how asthma affects the airways and how to deal
with asthma triggers and flare-ups.

Students will complete activities to understand what it means to have a food allergy and what can be done to help kids with these allergies.

Students will discover the meaning behind and uses for adjectives, adverbs, conjunctions, prepositions and other elements of grammar.   They will work in partners or groups to create a visual presentation that will teach classmates the most important and useful characteristics of their assigned grammar element.

In this module, students examine the rights and responsibilities granted by the United States Constitution and the Bill of Rights and compare these rights and responsibilities to their world. Students examine seminal court cases relating to these rights in order to more fully understand the intricacies and nuances of the Constitution. Students will study court rulings and discuss whether or not they agree with the decisions. The moduel begins on page 55 of the PDF.

The student will have a an understanding of (1) the difference in day and night, (2) what causes day and night, (3) what does day and night look like, (4) what activities are most often related to each of these times, and (5) what kind of animals are awake and asleep in the day or night. The student will be able to express these activities in dance and to decide which music best fits daytime and nighttime. The student will also be able to visually depict the different times of the 24-hour day in dramatic play and on paper.

This unit contains a curriculum-embedded Common Core aligned task and instructional supports. The ?Grocery Shopping? task will assess students? knowledge of representing equivalent expressions and being able to justify this through the use of the distributive property. The second task is ?The Quilt of a Math Teacher?. This task will assess students? knowledge of formulating an algebraic expression based on a real-??life situation, while addressing Mathematical Practice standards as well.

These thematic lessons introduce students to the various phases involved in mining, different types of mines, how ore is processed, how mineral deposits were formed, how modern mines can operate safely and sustainably, and why minerals are important to our everyday lives.

This unit of instruction combines Jory John's food series of books with the six elements of digital citizenship.

In this unit, students will learn about the inventions and technology that led to industrialization. Students will also study the immigrants who would supply the labor for industrialization. Finally, students will learn about some of the people who would create the “big business” financing and industrial infrastructure. Students will also be exposed to some of the problems that the rapid expansion of cities and industry created.
