Supporting Standards

Work with radicals and integer exponents MGSE8.EE.2 - Use square root and cube root symbols to represent solutions to equations. Recognize that 𝑥2 = p (where p is a positive rational number and lxl < 25) has 2 solutions and 𝑥 3 = p

(where p is a negative or positive rational number and lxl < 10) has one solution. Evaluate square roots of perfect squares < 625 and cube roots of perfect cubes > -1000 and < 1000. MGSE8.EE.3 - Use numbers expressed in scientific notation to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other. For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3×108 and the population of the world as 7×109, and determine that the world population is more than 20 times larger.

MGSE8.EE.4 - Add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used. Understand scientific notation and choose units of appropriate size for measurements of very large or very small quantities (e.g. use millimeters per year for seafloor spreading). Interpret scientific notation that has been generated by technology (e.g. calculators). Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations.

Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers. MGSE8.NS.2 - Use rational approximation of irrational numbers to compare the size of irrational numbers, locate them approximately on a number line, and estimate the value of expressions (e.g., estimate √2 to the nearest tenth). For example, by truncating the decimal expansion of √2, show that √2 is between 1 and 2, then between 1.4 and 1.5, and explain how to continue on to get better approximations.

Performance Assessment

Engaging Scenario

Current Situation: Students at your school have been struggling with Math. You know that it is because sometimes math is not always fun and engaging. You want to create interactive games that can help students learn about exponents, equations and real numbers. Your goal is to create interactive math games that are fun and interesting that all 8th grade teachers will be able to use to help their students learn. Your goal is to present your product to a group of teachers so that your games will be chosen and used all the 8th grade teachers in the county. You want to be the top math game designer in your school district.

Student Challenge: Designing interesting and interactive games to teach the standards relating to exponents, equations and real numbers.

Student Role: Game Designer

Performance Task 1 In Detail

Know that there are numbers that are not rational, and approximate them by rational numbers. MGSE8.NS.1 - KNOW that numbers that are not rational are called irrational. UNDERSTAND informally that every number has a decimal expansion; for rational numbers SHOW that the decimal expansion repeats eventually, and CONVERT a decimal expansion, which repeats eventually into a rational number. Circumstances of Performance: In-Class (Approximate Time 40 – 50 minutes) Task 1 Student Directions: Students are All Mixed Up!!! You will use the statements below to create a card game (Ex. Concentration).

o You will create a set of cards with each statement. o You will create a set of cards which justify why the statement may be correct or ALL Mixed

Up!!! o Include the rules of the game and how to win.

Eighth grade students are sharing what they know about real numbers. Several students gave the following statements: Mario: A square root is always an irrational number. Jessica: A fraction is never an irrational number. Antonio: A decimal is sometimes an irrational number. Carol: A repeating decimal is an irrational number. John: A mixed number is not a rational number. Jada: Fractions can only change to terminating decimals when written as decimal expansion. Mohamed: To change a repeating decimal to a fraction, first write an equation by setting the decimal equal to a variable that will represent the fraction. Next, write another equation by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10 only. Then, subtract the first equation from the second equation. Finally, solve the equation by dividing both sides. Decide which student(s) is demonstrating an understanding of real numbers from his/her given statement. If a student is all “mixed up”, justify why you think the student is all mixed up with supporting evidence.

Task 1 Teacher Notes: The purpose of this task is for students to demonstrate their understanding of real number and the subsets of real numbers. Mario: A square root is always an irrational number. (Mario’s statement is incorrect because some square roots of perfect squares like 4 and 9 are natural numbers, which are also rational numbers.) Jessica: A fraction is never an irrational number. (Jessica’s statement is correct because any number that can be written as a fraction that consists of two integers is by definition a rational number.) Antonio: A decimal is sometimes an irrational number. (Antonio’s statement is correct because a non-repeating, non-terminating decimal is an irrational number.) Carol: A repeating decimal is an irrational number. (Carol’s statement is incorrect because a repeating decimal can be converted to a rational number written in the form of two integers a/b.) John: A mixed number is not a rational number. (John’s statement is incorrect because a mixed can be written in the form of two integers a/b). Jada: Fractions can only change to terminating decimals when written as decimal expansion. (Jada’s statement is incorrect because a fraction can convert to terminating and repeating decimals.)

Performance Task 1 In Detail

Mohamed: To change a repeating decimal to a fraction, first write an equation by setting the decimal equal to a variable that will represent the fraction. Next, write another equation by multiplying both sides of the equation by 10 only. Then, subtract the first equation from the second equation. Finally, solve the equation by dividing both sides. (Mohamed’s statement is incorrect because you multiply both sides of the equation by a power of 10.)

Performance Task 2 In Detail

Work with radicals and integer exponents MGSE8.EE.1 - KNOW and APPLY the properties of integer exponents to GENERATE equivalent

numerical expressions. MGSE8.EE.3 - Use numbers expressed in scientific notation to estimate very large or very small quantities, and to express how many times as much one is than the other. For example, estimate the population of the United States as 3×108 and the population of the world as 7×109, and determine that the world population is more than 20 times larger.

MGSE8.EE.4 - Add, subtract, multiply and divide numbers expressed in scientific notation, including problems where both decimal and scientific notation are used.

Circumstances of Performance: In-Class (Approximate Time 75-90 minutes)

Task 2 Student Directions: Radicals, Exponents and Scientific Notation Part A Matching the Rule to the Property Eighth grade students are confused when using the properties of integer exponents. They do not know when to add, subtract, or multiply the exponents. They are puzzled as to why any number (except zero) raised to the zero power is 1. They don’t know what to do when the negative exponent is in the numerator or the denominator. They need your help. Your job is to:

Performance Task 2 In Detail

o Create an interactive game which compares and explains the different properties of integer exponents so they know when to apply the appropriate property.

o In the game students should be able to match the rule to the property o Provide at least 2 examples for each property (Product of Power Property, Power of a Power

Property, Power of a Product Property, Zero Exponent Rule, and Negative Exponent Rule).

Part B GiantBurger! You have done a fabulous job of creating a game that explains the properties of integer exponents to the eighth grade students. Omar was interested in figuring out how learning about the integer properties relates to real-life. He came across the newspaper ad below: “Every day, 7% of Americans eat at GiantBurger restaurants”. Omar was curious if this was a true statement. Help Omar decide whether this headline is true using the following information. • There are about 8 x 103 GiantBurger restaurants in America. • Each restaurant serves about 2.5 x 103 people every day. • There are about 3 x 108 Americans.

o Explain your reasons and show clearly how you figured it out. o Explain to Omar how the properties of exponents and knowledge of working with scientific

notation can help interpret the ad? Task 2 Teacher Notes: In Part A students will create a game which teaches the properties and characteristics of integer exponents: Product of Power Property, Power of a Power Property, Power of a Product Property, Zero Exponent Rule, and Negative Exponent Rule. Task 2 B Teacher Notes: In Part B, students will use properties of exponents and scientific notation to evaluate a newspaper headline. This task can be very engaging and may be adapted to fast food chains nearby. Through the mathematics exploration of this task, students evaluate whether a fast food chain’s claims are reasonable. This task is found at http://www.map.mathshell.org/tasks.php?collection=9&unit=HA18. Extension of the task(Part B): The percentage estimate you discovered should not be exactly 7%, but it should be close. Your job is to investigate what looks like a small percentage difference and determine if the difference is significant. Using the percentage, you calculated, determine about how many people eat at GiantBurger each day. If 7% of Americans eat at GiantBurger each day, how many people would that be? What is the difference in the two? Is GiantBurger overestimating based on your answer or underestimating? How many people would they be overestimating/underestimating by in a week? In a month? If you originally stated that their headline using 7% is true, do you still feel this way? Why or why not? Can a small difference in a percentage make a big difference in actual values? Explain. If you originally stated that their headline using 7% was not true, do you still feel that way? Do you now have additional data to back up your claims? Explain.

Performance Task 3 In Detail

Analyze and solve linear equations and pairs of simultaneous linear equations MGSE8.EE.7 - SOLVE linear equations in one variable.

a. GIVE examples of linear equations in one variable with one solution, infinitely many solutions, or no solutions. Show which of these possibilities is the case by successively, TRANSFORM the given equation into simpler forms, until an equivalent equation of the form x = a, a = a, or a = b results (where a and b are different numbers).

b. SOLVE linear equations with rational number coefficients, including equations whose solutions require expanding expressions USING the distributive property and COLLECT like terms.

Circumstances of Performance: In-Class (Approximate Time 45 - 60 minutes) Task 3 Student Directions: Create a card sort that will help the 8th graders understand solving linear equations and their solutions. Card Descriptions (See sample):

o Equations (Minimum of 5) -one solution -no solution -infinitely many solutions

o Detailed procedures showing solutions step by step o Each problem must also meet one of the specs of the standard as listed: 1) linear equation in

one variable 2) include rational number coefficients 3) require use of the distributive property 4) variables on both sides of the equation 5) require collecting like terms.

Solution Type Equation Step by Step

One Solution

2y + 1 - 17 = -2y + 32 2y - 16 = -2y + 32 2y + 2y- 16 = 32

Mathematical Literacy: The ability to read, listen, think creatively, and communicate about problem situations, mathematical representations, and the validation of solutions will help students to develop and deepen their understanding of mathematics. (National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, 2000)

5 weeks Make modifications to the pacing based upon student pre-assessment results and the daily analysis of student work.

See CAAG for a listing of all standards. Instruction should be supported with the implementation of the Standards for Mathematical Practice (SMP).

Students should complete the listed experiences to support understanding and mastery of the math standards. Students are expected to exhibit the SMP.

Teachers should implement the listed experiences to support core instruction on the math standards. Teachers should model the SMP during the 3-Part Lesson Structure.

Teachers should use the assessments to support student learning at all levels. The unit pre-assessment should be administered prior to unit instruction for diagnostic purposes.

o Differentiate instruction based upon the pre-assessment results. o Make modifications to the pacing based upon student pre-assessment results and the daily analysis of student work. o Implement the Formative Assessment Lesson (FAL) to monitor the progress of students during the instructional unit. o Introduce the learning targets on a daily basis in kid friendly language using “I Can” statements. o Provide instruction using the Concrete-Representational-Abstract (CRA) sequence of instruction. o Utilize the Gradual Release Model of Responsibility (I do, We do, You do) during instruction to support student learning of

concepts/skills. o Use UPS Check and the 3 Read Protocol for the Problem Solving Process. o Use Newman’s Prompt to diagnose the hurdles students face while problem solving. o Incorporate Mathematical Visualization to model math concepts, skills, and problem solving.

o Remind students that mistakes are respected, expected, and inspected in the mathematics classroom.

Unit Expectations o Performance Assessment (4 Tasks and Scoring Guide) o Formative Assessment Lessons

GADOE Instructional Tasks

Weekly core instruction should include the implementation of instructional tasks from the Georgia Department of Education (GADOE) located at www.georgiastandards.org along with other district and supplemental instructional resources.
