Math-Grade 8: Practical Problems

Standard 8.3
The student will solve practical problems involving rational numbers, percents, ratios, and proportions. Problems will be of varying complexities and will involve real-life data, such as finding a discount and discount prices and balancing a checkbook.

Pacing Guide – 10 days

Objectives-

1. The student will define mathematical communication, mathematical reasoning and mathematical representations and connections.
2. Be able to add, subtract, multiply, and divide whole numbers, integers, rational numbers, percents, ratios, fractions and proportions.
3. Recite the times tables to 10 X 10.
4. Use a calculator and/or the calculator accessory on a computer to calculate Obj2 above.

Strategies-

Students will be given a pre-test over basic computation and based on the results will have a homework assignment where they do the 4 basic number operations 0 thru 10, until completed.

I will demonstrate how to do the 4 basic operations with whole numbers, integers, etc.

Each day we will have a context/game for 30 minutes that provides drill and practice on these operations and where the students do these in their heads while responding to a question for their team.

Assessment-

Resources-

Chalkboard, flashcards, overhead slides
