math 7-8
Welcome to our virtual Learning page for intermediate students. First you will find three tasks that will support a variety of different types of mathematical processes - problem solving, computation strategies, and reasoning and proving. Below are additional resources to challenge your mathematical thinking further.
Activity #4: Cup Noodles - The FDA recommends that we consume no more than 2,300 mg of sodium, or salt, per day because eating too much salt can increase a person's risk of heart failure, stroke, high blood pressure, and heart disease. What percent of the FDA's recommendation for sodium is in just one Cup Noodles?
Square Counting - How many squares can you make by connecting the points on a grid of dots?
This simple question leads to generalizations in many directions, and motivates organization to look for patterns. It’s a simple and beautiful rich task.
Logic puzzle: Guess the number value of emojis in each row and then correctly work out the bottom row sum
The SolveMe MysteryGrid app combines and extends a variety of grid-based number puzzles into colourful and interactive game that supports computational and algebraic fluency, and logical reasoning. The three levels of built-in puzzles included in the app encourage players across a range of mathematical experiences.
This is The Fraction Splat! Series.
These lessons use a single splat along with a mixture of unit fractions and whole numbers.
The Number System: Using the integers -9 to 9 at most one time each, fill in the boxes to create a quotient with the greatest possible value
