These resources are available in your Knowledgehook account. They are also linked in this Google Doc. However, you must be logged into your browser or app with your DSB1 account to access this file.
Knowledgehook's math background charts explore the big ideas in detail and address best practices and tips for remediation. Their misconceptions charts include tips for understanding, preventing, and/or remediating common learning gaps, misconceptions, and errors for this topic. The Remediation questions can be assigned to students in order to assess individual students' specific remediation needs.
Topics for this unit:
Evaluating Algebraic Expressions
Solving Simple Linear Equations

Marian Small's Gap Closing
Gap Closing resources are designed for students who need additional support in mathematics. For each topic in the resource, there is a diagnostic and a set of intervention materials. Diagnostics are designed to uncover the typical problems students have with a specific topic.

Grade 7 - Coding Lesson - $ 20 or 20%? In this coding lesson using Scratch, students can create a calculator in which they can compare two different discount structures. Depending on the number of items bought, the calculator will be able to provide savings from either choosing a 20% discount, or a $ 20 discount. Students get to utilize conditions and operations blocs in this activity. (Specific Expectations: C2.2, C2.3, C3.1, F1.4, B2.1, A1)

Teacher Essentials support document
Use Showbie to create Problem-Solving Portfolios where students can work on problems with increasing complexity as they master the concepts and monitor their progress.
Triangulated Assessment Data
Triangulated Assessment Data
Use ongoing, progressive rubrics to record student progress based on triangulated data, like observations and conversations.
(Sample template for Reasoning & Proving Rubric)
Here's a great blog post by Damian Cooper called What is “Triangulation” in the Assessment Context?, which will help support our understanding of how we can assess as we move towards giving students messier and more real problems where the process of problem-solving is valued in addition to "the right answer."
You can use Google Forms to quickly document evidence of learning during your conversations with and observations of your students. This PDF includes links to several Google Forms organized by strand. You'll need to copy and modify them to include your students' names.
