Probability
Eighth graders relate real life events with probability. In this probability lesson, 8th graders investigate using coin toss, discuss NBA shooting percentages and MLB batting averages. Students also complete a worksheet.
Curated OER
Number and Algebra: Again and Again
Students use a given spreadsheet to investigate an iterative process by changing the variables. They design their own spreadsheet to investigate the iterative process.
Curated OER
Mixing Colours
Students explore ratios and their relationships to fractions. They explain the process of identifying ratios and describe their comparison. Students write ratios as fractions and by using colons. They convert the ratios to percents.
