LESSON PLANS (Click Here to Preview)
Please Note: Answers and Teacher Notes are included in the lessons.
The newest version is Google Slides. I project these in my classroom for students to see. It reduces photocopies and makes life much easier because the setup is done in advance.
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.

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.

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!
