Welcome
Welcome
Visit the Getting Started page to prepare for this session.
This session is setup to be self-paced.
Text that is underlined, links to resources for you to use in the session.
We invite you to share your thinking throughout and we invite you to return to those parts to reflect and add comments to others.
Use the Parking Lot to pose wonderings, and questions.
As facilitators, we will be monitoring and providing you responses/feedback.
Learning Focus:
Learning Focus:
- become aware of the TIPS4Math resource
- explore the blended learning units for grade 9 applied
- make links to other mathematics resources that can be used to differentiate instruction

Use of technology in the classroom
The amount of digital classroom learning may depend on a number of factors -- including teachers' and students' access to and comfort with technology.
We invite you to place into the google doc ways in which you have or ways in which you may use the technology given any one of these three situations.
a) 1 device for the whole class
b) 1 device per group
c) 1 device per student
Listen to how some teachers are using the technology in the classroom
What is TIPS4Math?
What is TIPS4Math?
What_is_TIPS4Math_slides.pptxThis resource was created to support educators with planning their mathematics program. It offers a possible way of sequencing the learning. It also identifies key resources to support the learning such as the grade 9 applied blended learning activities. The TIPS4Math resources are available on EduGAINS.
Spend some time reading through and getting familiar with the following Grade 9 Applied TIPS4Math resources:

- Course Overview
- Unit Overviews with Lesson Overviews
- Teacher Notes
This overview, originally from TIPS4RM, has been repurposed with TIPS4Math. The grade 9 applied blended learning activities are organized using this structure. The first part of the overview shows the eight units with the strands and the key topics addressed throughout the course.
Grade 9 Applied Course Overview slide 1 of 3.pptxGrade 9 Applied Course Overview slide 2 of 3.pptxThe second part of the Course Overview identifies the name of each unit with its overall expectations and the approximate number of days of instruction. Know that this is only an approximate and it may vary based on the needs of the students.
Grade 9 Applied Course Overview slide 3 of 3.pptxIn this session, we take a closer look at the Solving Equations Unit.
Unit Overview Sample: Solving Equations

This unit overview identifies the Overall and Specific Expectations as well as the names of the lessons for this unit. The codes for the expectation have been included so that it can be easily referenced from the lessons.
Take a closer look at the lesson called Comparing Two Linear Relations lesson Overview. You can scroll down to page 7 of this document.
Lesson Sample Overview Slide.pptxLesson Overview Sample Slide 1 of 2.pptxLesson Overview Sample: Comparing Two Linear Relations
Lesson Overview Sample: Comparing Two Linear Relations
Each lesson overview identifies:
- the specific expectation(s) that will be addressed in the lesson which may be longer than 75 minutes;
- the learning focus which is helpful for creating learning goals and/or co-constructing success criteria;
- blended learning activities and its OERB number; and
- other resources.
Teacher Notes Sample: Comparing Two Linear Relations
Teacher Notes Sample: Comparing Two Linear Relations
1) Take a look at the Comparing Two Linear Relations Teacher Notes to get a sense of the information that it has to offer. Key features is a summary.
2) Keep these teacher notes handy as you explore the blended learning activity for Comparing Two Linear Relations. (Next part of this session.)

Lesson Overview Sample Slide 2 of 2.pptxBefore Exploration:
Before Exploration:
Before using the blended learning activities, these are some factors you may wish to think about and address a head of time.
- What type of device are you using?
Those using a desktop will have access to some pieces more easily than those using a mobile device. Those using a mobile device will need to go through Puffin Academy. Download now if needed.
- Do you know your OERB username and password?
To determine your OERB username and password ask another teacher in your board or contact your TeLT Contact from your school board.
Blended Learning Activity Tour
Blended Learning Activity Tour
Before you begin touring, read the instructions up to Key Features.
Watch the video to take a quick virtual tour of an activity.
Now, tour on your own.
- Log in to the OERB.
- Accept the terms and conditions.
- Click on search.
- Click on Simple Search.
Now, either
- enter the ELO number which is ELO1466150 or
- use the hyperlink in the lesson overview document.
If you're unsure of how to log in to the OERB, there are two resources on the Logging In to the OERB page to support your needs:
- a video; and
- a one page instruction sheet.
As you're touring:
As you're touring:
- try out some of the tasks including Gizmos, OERB activity and videos
- make note of assessment opportunities in blended learning and record your ideas in this Assessment Opportunities Google Doc.
Watch the video that highlights:
Key Features of Blended Learning Activities
Key Features of Blended Learning Activities
bl.pptxYou will notice in the lesson overviews that some of the features of the Blended Learning Units are highlighted. In this particular one – Explore, Investigation, Practice and Video are included. These are hyperlinked so that you can access them directly without going to the blended learning activity to retrieve them.
Gizmos:
Gizmos:
As you did your tour of the blended learning activity, you may have explored the Cat and Mouse or the Distance Time Runner Gizmos. Gizmos are ministry licensed for grades 7 to 12. If you did not explore during the tour, take a moment to try them.
Post your thoughts on how these simulations support student thinking and develop mathematical understanding of concepts in the Gizmo Google Doc.

The Measurement Optimization Lesson Overviews include:
- Maximizing Area for Rectangular Shapes; and
- Minimizing Perimeter for Rectangular Shapes.
- You will notice that under blended learning there are different resources being highlighted.
- The Linear Graphing Tool in the first one also includes a video of how to use it.
