This lesson unit is intended to help teachers assess how well students are able to identify linear and quadratic relationships in a realistic context: the number of tiles of different types that are needed for a range of square tabletops. In particular, this unit aims to identify and help students who have difficulties with: choosing an appropriate, systematic way to collect and organize data; examining the data and looking for patterns; finding invariance and covariance in the numbers of different types of tile; generalizing using numerical, geometrical or algebraic structure; and describing and explaining findings clearly and effectively.

This lesson unit is intended to help teachers assess how well students are able to use geometric properties to solve problems. In particular, the lesson will help you identify and help students who have the following difficulties: solving problems by determining the lengths of the sides in right triangles; and finding the measurements of shapes by decomposing complex shapes into simpler ones. The lesson unit will also help students to recognize that there may be different approaches to geometrical problems, and to understand the relative strengths and weaknesses of those approaches.

The lesson is 22 pages and about interpreting equations. It starts off with the mathematical goals and standards for the lesson. The resource is laid out with easy to follow instructions. There are various bolded titles starting with an introduction, materials needed, it gives a suggested lesson outline, along with practice examples. The resource uses black and red text to show the difference between what the teacher needs to do/say and wha the student needs to do.

This lesson is designed to help students develop strategies for solving optimization problems. Such problems typically involve using limited resources to greatest effect, as in, for example, the allocation of time and materials to maximize profit. Before the lesson, students attempt the problem individually. You then review their work and formulate questions for students to answer in order to improve their solutions.At the start of the lesson, students work alone answering your questions.Students are then grouped and engage in a collaborative discussion of the same task. In the same small groups, students are given sample solutions to comment on and evaluate.In a whole-class discussion, students explain and compare solution strategies seen and used.Finally, students revise their individual solutions and comment on what they have learned. Materials required Each individual student will need a copy of the task, some plain paper, a calculator, and a copy of the How Did You Work? questionnaire.Each small group of students will need copies of the Sample Responses to Discuss.Graph paper should be kept in reserve and used only when necessary or requested. Time needed Approximately 15 minutes before the lesson, a 1-hour lesson, and 10 minutes in a follow-up lesson.
