Below are the the units & lessons. All students will receive workbooks for each unit. IM Math is a problem-based core curriculum designed to address content and practice standards to foster learning for all. Students learn by doing math, solving problems in mathematical and real-world contexts, and constructing arguments using precise language. Teachers can shift their instruction and facilitate student learning with high-leverage routines to guide learners to understand and make connections between concepts and procedures. IM Math link
First Assignment every Trimester (In addition to KHAN) is due one day after the start of the trimester (or if moving classes, one week from start of class): Professionalism Handbook link *Students and parents/guardians read the Professionalism Handbook and either 1) print and return the signature page signed 2) an email to eneyen@jeffcoschools.us from the parent/guardian acknowledging the professionalism handbook has been reviewed or 3) the student submits a note from the parent/guardian acknowledging the professionalism handbook has been reviewed. This will not be necessary for those who submit the signatures during the first trimester.
Continuous Assignment due every 2 weeks: The Note-catcher worksheet details the daily learning goals and student class notes.Math 8 Notes- The notes in this document DO NOT coincide with the new curriculum but may be used as a resource.
