In presentation mode, teachers and students can review the interactive Data and Analysis Vocabulary terms Slideshow based on the 2017 CS Curriculum Framework lessons for grade 8.  Additionally, a quick quiz has been included (Google Forms) for a class assignment or for assessment purposes.

The student will use a table of personal data collected about plugged/unplugged activites and times of rest throughout the period of one week (7 days) to document screen times in comparison to active and restful breaks for a computer science integration and digital balance project.This Part 1 activity uses the data collected in a table to teach students how to copy and paste a table from Docs into Slides, and how to develop a Slideshow Presentation with tables (Part 1) and graphs (Part 2).  Students are given opportunities to collect and analyze data, to enter information into tables and graphs, to develop and share presentations in Slides, as well as summarize and draw conclusions about the data collection, graphing, and results as comparable to their peers, digital categories, or peer groups (Gamers vs YouTubers, Boys vs Girls, etc.).The goal/s of this unit is to help students realize the importance of living a digitally balanced life and to help students develop skills for creating and using digital tables and graphs with an introduction to data collection and analysis.

The student will use previously collected personal and peer data (Part 1: Screen Time Logs) to graph a bar and pie graph in Slides using Sheets to graph the data collected.This is the second part of an intended presentation project for a computer CTE middle school class, but can be edited and adapted for any graphing and/or computer integration lessons about bar and pie graphs and how to make them in Google Sheets using Google Slides.

Data Science is a growing field across all disciplines and grade levels. Use the assets in this collection to help learn valuable skills and concepts related to collecting, using, analyzing, and presenting data. The VDOE, Data Science Teachers, and WHRO Education collaboratively created this content.

This animated short highlights the holiday and tradition of Day of the Dead in Mexico. It can be used as a movietalk (http://teachingcomprehensibly.com/movietalk/) classroom activity using strategies of comprehensible input, specifically the idea of circling to gauge comprehension (https://comprehensibleclassroom.com/teacher-training/essential-strategies-for-tprsci-teachers/how-to-circle/). The activities that could follow could be changed to match the level being taught. In lower levels, having a discussion in English would be appropriate. In higher levels, asking deeper questions about how students honor their own loved ones and what their own beliefs about the holiday and tradition are could be a thought provoking prompts.

Computers use sorting to direct information across a network. This activity is a simulated representation of how a computer might sort information through a network.  Students will compare decimals and place them in boxes along the guiding arrows. Each box will contain 2 decimals. Students are to compare the two decimals in each box, then move the greater decimal forward to the next box on the right, The lesser decimal will be moved to the next box on the left. Each time the decimals are moved forward, the decimals in the boxes are compared and then moved to the appropriate box according to the rule (lesser: left, greater: right).Once each number has been moved to the circles at the top of end of the sort, the decimals should be in order from least to greatest. This is a variation of the activity foud here: https://www.csunplugged.org/en/resources/sorting-network/ 

In this lesson students will compute the discount of items that are marked down by percentages.  

This is a Jamboard lesson of practical problems to find the discount and sale price of items.  Students will use the Desmos calculator to answer the problems and put answers on the Jamboard. 

This is a task from the Illustrative Mathematics website that is one part of a complete illustration of the standard to which it is aligned. Each task has at least one solution and some commentary that addresses important aspects of the task and its potential use. VDOE provides a lesson plan, activities, remediation, and an exit slip to help students understand and correctly apply the distributive property.

Students will analyze primary sources from the Reconstruction Era to determine if Reconstruction was a success or a failure. They will place evidence on a scale for a visual representation of their evaluation.Teachers can modify and assign this Google Doc. You will need to make a copy of the document to access it.

This is a remix of a task to help students think about an expression for a function as built up out of simple operations on the variable, and understand the domain in terms of values for which each operation is invalid (e.g., dividing by zero or taking the square root of a negative number).

 This resource is a remix from Illustrative Mathematics.This encourages student collaboration and allows students to have a mathematical dialogue to express their understanding of algebraic properties. This resource is a valuable part of building background when introducing units of measure or equations in the early elementary years of mathematics education as it provides students a concrete example of building an equation with concrete objects.   Suggested Modification- Encourage student online portfolio - A student recording sheet with dominos illustrations can be used as a reference for students to have a mathematical dialogue. Teachers can use online educational platforms that would allow students to record their own understanding of math and share them with the teacher. For example, Seasaw is an educational platform that students can use, but will require parental permission. It allows collaboration between teachers, students, and the parent community where students can have a voice and choice in their learning.

 After explaining the process of the Electoral College, this is an extension activity for students to help them apply that knowledge in a mock Presidential race.  Students will pair up with another student and create a candidate and party (or just simply use their name/party).  In competing against one another, they will roll the dice for each of the 50 states (plus DC) to see who wins the electoral votes for that state.  At the end, students will tally up the total electoral votes to see who made it to 270 or more!  Remember to have them check their math by adding their totals to make sure they have 538.  Additionally students will tally their dice roll which will simulate the popular vote and allow for students to see potentially a candidate win the popular vote, but lose the election.  This is a great simulation to cover what the winner-take-all system looks like.
