LESSON PLANS (CLICK HERE TO PREVIEW AN EXAMPLE)
We have created lessons that correspond to each of the expectations of the Ontario curriculum. All lessons follow a 3-part format including expectations, learning goals, examples, minds-on activities, action activities, extension/discussion activities, and consolidation activities. In some instances, there are two lessons to cover an expectation because of the depth and/or difficulty. I would suggest you move on at a pace appropriate for your students.
Digital Classroom Slides (2021 Update)
We have created a copy of the lessons that can be shared in your Digital Classroom. The slides are the same but the Teacher’s Notes and Answers have been removed.

UNIT WORKBOOK (2021 Update) (Click Here to Preview an example)
Upon request, we created a workbook that addresses each expectation of the curriculum. Teachers can print the sheets for their students or share them directly in their digital classroom.
2022 Workbook Update: We’ve created a self-checking version of the workbook using Easel.
STATIONS (CENTRES)
Give your students to work on the material in a different way. I use this as an opportunity to spend some time with GUIDED GROUPS (Questions included) for the first half of the period and monitor/assess during the second half of the period. If you have a challenging class, this can a difficult routine to establish, but well worth the effort!
- Guided stations x 2
- Mental Math
- Investigating Similar Shapes (Manipulatives)
- Geometric Art
- (Media) Video Links
STUDY GUIDE and UNIT TEST (with answer keys). I give the students the STUDY GUIDE at the beginning of the unit and have them meet with me periodically before the test to ensure they understand the material
