6. WIKI Information All materials and resources will be available on this website: http://msptennessee.wikispaces.com/

7. Clear Target Increase content knowledge for identified standards within the Tennessee Education Standards for Mathematics. Develop quality lessons designed to improve conceptual understanding.

8. Vertical Alignment 8 TH GRADE 8.SP.A.1 Construct and interpret scatter plots for bivariate measurement data to investigate patterns of association between two quantities. Describe patterns such as clustering, outliers, positive or negative association, linear association, and nonlinear association. 9 TH GRADE S.ID.B.6 Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related. c. Fit a linear function for a scatter plot that suggests a linear association.

9. Deconstruct Standards S.ID.B.6 Represent data on two quantitative variables on a scatter plot, and describe how the variables are related. c. Fit a linear function for a scatter plot that suggests a linear association. S.ID.C.7 Interpret the slope (rate of change) and the intercept (constant term) of a linear model in the context of the data.

10. Student Misconceptions What are the most common student misconceptions with this unit? – Table talk – Share with whole group

11. Science Standards Investigate atomic structure and molecular interactions. – Compare and contrast the properties and locations of subatomic particles. – Use periodic table to identify the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom.

12. STEM Challenge Ms. Dorris came to school early one morning to prepare a chemistry lab for her 1st period class. As soon as she entered the lab, she knew something was not wrong. The lab was a wreck! All the beakers and graduated cylinders were laying in the floor. The lab aprons were draped over the lab stations. Her first thought was that the seniors had struck!! The senior prank didn’t seem so bad until… She opened the chemical storage room door and there was the biggest DISASTER of all!!! Many of the chemical labels had been ripped off their containers. “How am I ever going to figure out what these chemicals are?” Ms. Dorris exclaimed. You will need to write at least one paragraph to Ms. Dorris identifying the unknown chemical that includes both a scientific AND two mathematical explanation of how you came to your conclusion.

13. Math Scaffolding Activity #1 Determining Correlation Students will be able to determine linear correlation and describe the relationship between the two variables.

14. Engineering Notebook Closure End lesson with an individual student reflection: – Is there anything I’ve learned today in math class that might help me with the challenge? Whole class discussion: – Add to “Questions We Still Have” poster

15. Teacher Reflection How will you implement math activity #1 with your students? What addition(s) would you make, if any? How does this activity help students eliminate any misconceptions on our list?

16. Lunch Break You have 1 hour and 15 minutes for lunch. ENJOY!

17. Plan for the Afternoon 12:00 – 12:30 Math Activity #2 12:30 – 12:55 Math Activity #3 12:55 – 1:00 Teacher Reflection 1:00 – 1:25 Math Activity #4 1:25 – 1:40 Teacher Reflection/Break 1:40 – 2:10 Challenge 2:10 – 2:15 Sum It Up 2:15 – 2:30 Standards Recap; WIKI Resources 2:30 – 3:00 Closure

18. Math Scaffolding Activity #2 Creating Scatter Plots Students will be able to create a scatter plot given data in order to determine correlation.

19. Engineering Notebook Closure End lesson with an individual student reflection: – Is there anything I’ve learned today in math class that might help me with the challenge? Whole class discussion: – Add to “Questions We Still Have” poster

20. Math Scaffolding Activity #3 Exploring Lines of Fit Students will be able to determine the equation for the line of best fit using technology. Students will be able to interpret the slope and y- intercept in terms of the data context. http://www.shodor.org/interactivate/activities/Re gression/
