Students lean about proportions, ratios, and unit rate. It is important for connections to be made among ratio tables, graphing points, and slope of a line. Students make these connections through the first activity provided by the VDOE. The second task by Illustrative Mathematics is a way to assess student understanding.

In this lesson students will practice computing the average or mean of 3 or more menu prices or numbers with decimals.

Teacher Instructs the student to navigate to Google.com.  The teacher will model researching their career by typing in the search box, “What is the average salary for a teacher in Virginia.”  The teacher will ask what does average salary mean and add details to the students’ responses.  The teacher will then pull up the Google Sheet to be used for today’s lesson.  Students will begin researching their own career choice by typing, “What is the average salary of a _______________________ in VIrginia?  The students will find a low, average, and top salary for their career choices.   The students will use the average or middle salary given.  If more than one average is given the students will use the mathematical equation for finding the mean to calculate the average of the salaries given. 

Students will lead discussion on their net pay for their chosen career, their total expenses, and the amount they will have left after paying all the monthly expenses.  If there wasn’t enough money to pay all their expenses what will they need to do?

Students will research the cost of homes and expences associated with owning a home.  This proccess will help the studet to determine if thier chosen salary will support the purchase of the selected home.

Students will pretend they have a family of 4.  Use the list given by students and make sure the following are included: average cost of groceries for a family of 4average cost of health insurance for a family of 4average cost of dining out for a family of 4 (multiply this by 4 for eating out once a week)average monthly internet feeaverage monthly cable or satellite 

The teacher will lead discussion on cost of the vehicle versus the salary made for his/her career.  What are the pros and cons of this vehicle?  Students will then research the type of vehicle they want.  Each student will determine the cost of the vehicle.  Students will share with each other the type of vehicle they chose, the cost of the vehicle, and the pros and cons of the vehicle. 

This is a lesson that introduces kids to the concepts of slope and y-intercept as they relate to multiplicative and additive relationships.

The cell phone task is open-ended in that it allows students to use multiple solution strategies. Students can create an algebraic inequality or reason through the problem differently. Students can also get different answers (decimal or whole number) as along as they are able to provide reasoning towards their solution.

Changing attributes of rectangular prisms  Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

 Students will be given a division model, mathematical sentence, or practical problem to solve. After solving a problem, they will enter their answer into the Google Form and it will tell them if they got the correct solution.  If they answered incorrectly, they will need to try again to move on.  If they answer correctly, they choose which problem they want to solve next.  This activity is designed so that students will complete 5 problems.

Students solve multistep equations (with variables on only one side).  Students choose between two models/equations at each of six points in this Google Form activity.

This mini lesson is a slides presentation on circle graph.  It's about how much time students spend on homework.  The lesson has questions pertaining to the topics and which one is more or less. etc.

Compare and contrast the properties of quadrilateralsMathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

The students will visualize how the properties of Quadrilaterals can help them determine the exact shape of the figure. The students will create a model of the properties and compare them to the results the students have from data they have found

Combining Like Terms is an important skills in Math 8 and Algebra I. This lesson draws on students prior knowledge of match 3 games in order to help understanding of this concept.
