Building Number Sense

This resource package focuses on building number sense using counting collections and daily subitizing practice.
Lessons follow the same format daily and students can work within the numbers they are capable or working with 1-20.
The first lesson includes what is a counting collection and how to do one.

• Kindergarten
• Grade 1

Adding Integers

This bundle will explore how students can represent positive and negative integers using different strategies such as integer tiles, number lines, and with the use of zero pairs. Students will explore multiple strategies to find the sum of positive and negative integers (integer tiles, number lines, and absolute values) to solve different problems. This bundle contains many activities to use to assess student understanding of concepts related to integers (formative assessment).

• Grade 7

Integers

This resource bundle will explore the concept of integers and comparing integers using symbols and number lines through investigations, constructive pedagogy, games, and critical thinking activities. Students will work in small groups, partners as well as individually and build on their prior knowledge to extend their understanding of integers.

• Grade 7

Measure of Central Tendency

Using a variety of game-based learning methods, students will explore both the calculation and applied uses of mean, median, mode, and range of data sets.

• Grade 7

Volume - Right Cylinders And Prisms

How do I solve problems involving the volume of a right prism or a right cylinder?

• Grade 8

Think Outside the Box

This learning bundle will explore the concept of surface area and how to calculate the surface area of right rectangular prisms and draw nets for these types of prisms. Students will use their knowledge of rectangular prisms, surface area, and nets to complete a project to build a box for an object of their choice.

• Grade 8

Input - Output Machines

Students will engage in a three-part lesson through guided inquiry, which encourages them to explore number patterns and be able to describe them in graphs, words, and table of values.

• Grade 6

Factors, Multiples, Prime and Composite Numbers

This learning bundle will explore factors, multiples, and prime and composite numbers through investigations, constructivist pedagogy, games, and critical thinking tasks. Students will collaborate to create definitions of factors, multiples, prime and composite and will use their new knowledge to solve interesting problems.

• Grade 6

Demonstrating Equality

Students will engage in a three-part lesson through guided inquiry, which encourages them to explore the meaning of equality through concrete, pictorial and symbolic representations.

• Grade 6
• Grade 7
• Grade 8

Conduct a Survey

Students think critically about survey biases and construct their own survey questions and responses through cooperative learning techniques. After they evaluate the advantages and disadvantages of surveys and censuses through an experiential activity, pupils learn to best display data in an inquiry-based lesson.

• Grade 6

Circles

What is a circle? What are the properties of a circle? How do I use the properties of a circle to solve problems?

• Grade 7
• Grade 8

The Adolescent Brain 2 of 2

This package examines the human brain and how it impacts and influences and allows all our behaviour. The brain lets us feel our emotions and is responsible for all our thinking.

Students will investigate the biology of their brain. They will explore how to use this new knowledge to help them guide their behaviours and to understand their emotions and feelings. Students will set some personal goals that are impacted by their brain.
