The remaining 5% will be assessed from the group project which will have 2.5% resulting from self assessment through journal work and 2.5% as evaluated by the group. The midway quiz and unit test will comprise 1% and 4% respectively. For this reason, multiple forms of assessment will also be used, with teacher assessment for a quiz and unit test and peer and student assessment utilized for a group project that will be completed throughout the 10 classes. Having a good understand of these topics also helps with estimation - a valuable skill in a fast paced world.Ģ) Balanced teaching, assessment and evaluation planĪ) This is a very important unit of the Mathematics 8 curriculum and will therefore be worth 10% of the weight for grading. Second, they are topics that are easily found in every day life from measuring the dimensions of a box that needs to made, to knowing how tall a ladder will be that will be able to reach the roof, to the age old measurement of land and structures. First, they provide for a base of good spatial thought and reasoning. The Pythagorean Theorem is one of the most famous in all of mathematics and is named for Pythagoras and his followers, but it seems it was being used by many more civilizations than just the early Greeks.Ĭ) Shape, Space and Measurement relate closely to life outside of mathematics. Of course, mathematics was also performed by academics and for recreation and many of the ancient findings produced are still used widely today. These were used for the buying and selling of commodities and for the division and taxation of land. Many civilizations had broad working knowledge of geometrical shapes and their measurement. These subjects are included in the IRPs as many sections of higher grade mathematics depend deeply on their understanding.ī) Historical origins of this topic are vast. This subject area is also an excellent opportunity to include history with mathematics in the discussion of how varying shapes and measurements were used by other civilizations in other times. It does not store any personal data.Title of unit and grade / course: Shape & Space & Their Measurement / Mathematics 8Ī) It is important for students to learn the topic of space, shape and the measurement of each as they are broad reaching and provide a base for many future topics in mathematics and other subjects and even general everyday life.
