1. Cross Curricular Activity By: Tim Martin & Gerry Jones Math & Geography

2.  Geography: Grade 8 – Patterns in Human Geography  Compare living and working conditions in countries with different patterns of settlement, and examine how demographic factors could affect their own lives in the future.  Inquiry/Research and Communication Skills  By the end of Grade 8, students will: communicate the results of inquiries for specific purposes and audiences using computer slide shows, videos, websites, oral presentations, written notes and reports, illustrations, tables, charts, maps, models and graphs. ADDRESSING SPECIFIC CURRICULUM EXPECTATIONS

3.  Math Grade 8 - Data Management and Probability  Data Relationships  By the end of Grade 8, students will: read, interpret, and draw conclusions from primary data (e.g., survey results, measurements, observations) and from secondary data (e.g., election data or temperature data from the newspaper, data from the Internet about lifestyles), presented in charts, tables, and graphs (including frequency tables with intervals, histograms and scatter plots).  Collection and Organization of Data  By the end of Grade 8, students will: collect data by conducting a survey or an experiment to do with themselves, their environment, issues in their school or community, or content from another subject, and record observations or measurements ADDRESSING SPECIFIC CURRICULUM EXPECTATIONS

4.  The lesson/activity we selected is for a grade 8 geography class; in which students are asked to form a group of 4 and create a demographic survey using Survey Monkey.Survey Monkey  They must then collect the data from other students in the class, friends and parents or relatives (min of 20 responses).  Once all the data is collected and imputed into Survey Monkey, they must represent the results of the survey in graphical form using either an online graphing tool or Microsoft Excel. They must then interpret the results and provide a brief summary of their findings to the class. Lesson / Activity:

5.  The integrated lesson provides a deeper, logical and practical understanding of the expectations as it provides a hands-on approach of gathering survey data and representing this information graphically using a graphical tool (e.x. Microsoft Excel). Lesson / Activity (cont’d):

6.  The elements of technology used for this lesson are as follows:  The teacher will present the lesson using a SMART board  The teacher will use a Prezi presentation to give the lesson overview  Students will use Survey Monkey to create the survey and collect the data  Students will use an online graphing tool or Microsoft Excel to present their findings How is technology incorporated?
