A comprehensive lesson on solving proportional word problems using a culinary theme. Students will learn to set up and solve proportions using cross-multiplication and scaling strategies.

Assembling full algebraic expressions and equations, learning to manipulate variables like architectural components.

Introducing the concept of the unknown as a structural gap that needs to be filled, shifting from arithmetic to early algebraic thinking.

Scaling up operations with multiplication and division, exploring arrays and equal groups as the scaffolding for complex math.

Mastering the core mechanics of addition and subtraction using place value and architectural grouping strategies.

Students will learn to identify base and height dimensions and apply formulas to find the area of various quadrilaterals and triangles using step-by-step checklists.

A creative end-of-year project where students choose between three paths to demonstrate mastery of transformations, linear equations, exponents, and bivariate data. Designed with scaffolded options for 8th-grade students.

Students learn to select and apply appropriate measures of center and variability based on data distribution (symmetric vs. skewed), with real-world practice comparing wait times and student heights.

A geometry lesson focused on calculating the area of squares, rectangles, and circles, as well as the circumference of circles, featuring Finley the dog.
