 * Name:** Volume of a Triangular Prism
 * Resource ID:** ELO1321400


 * Description:** This lesson breaks down from minds on activity, action and Consolidate. At the beginning it takes a homework question up to review prior knowledge. Then gets into thinking about triangular prism through smart notebook (students could come up and use the smart board). It’s very organized and well thought out lesson with a homework question at the end.

The lesson provides the students with examples of rectangular prisms and a practical way of calculating and solving for surface area, through the use of objects that are shaped as rectangular prisms, and covering them in wrapping paper.

Quadrilateral World Resource ID: ELO1412030 Description: This activity allows you to use a geoboard electronically and discover properties of equilaterals such as angles, bisecting, and perpendicular lines.

 Choosing a Water Bottle For a School Fundraiser Resource ID : ELO1318410 Description : This activity can be done individually as a summative assessment or in groups as a formative assessment. The Smart Notebook file is a quick game to get students thinking about the differences between area, volume, and perimeter. The rubric is attached if you would like to use this problem as a summative assessment for volume of cylinders.
 * Grade 8 - Measurement (Authors:Tiffany, Inga, Stefan )**

Feeling Better About Volume
Resource ID : ELO1413920 Description : Students work with Dr. Feelbetter to explore the relationship between volume and capacity. Displacement is simulated using cubic centimetres and cubic metres. Users gain an understanding of the capacity of a cubic metre and how this relates to water displacement. They will learn that volume can be measured in cubic units as well as using millilitres and litres.

Pool Capacity Resource ID : ELO1413930 Description : Students will work with Yusef to review the relationship between volume and capacity as he determines the amount of chlorine to add to different shaped swimming pools.

 * Lesson 1: ** Number Sense Unit Review
 * Resource ID:** ELO1324240
 * Description:** Great end of unit review for key concepts. This lesson has been presented in the form of a Four Across game where the class is divided into two different teams. Each team takes a turn choosing the question number they want to answer and then trying to find the correct solution. If the team gets the correct solution, they get to place their token on the game board. The first team to get 4 Across wins!


 * Lesson 2**: Fractions Millionaire
 * Resource ID**: ELO1318130
 * Description**: This is a cool resource for a review lesson on fractions. You are basically getting the students to play “Who wants to be a Millionaire” but the questions have to do with fractions. The questions get progressively harder as you move up the money ladder, and just like the Millionaire game you have the options to call a friend, 50:50 or ask the audience.


 * Lesson 3**: Pass the Question
 * Resource ID**: ELO1000215
 * Description**: This is a game involving fractions where the students are working together into groups of 3 or 4. Each group of students should complete questions in the limited amount of time. When the time limit is up, students pass the question to the group to their left and begin working on a new question. The group with the most correct answers at the end, wins!
