So we have two different sized glasses (see below), and you have to give one to yourself and one to your little brother or sister so you can both have a glass of chocolate milk. Which glass has a larger volume so that way you get more chocolate milk than your little brother or sister? =====

=
I want you right now to think in your head if you think the short cup has a larger volume, or if you think the tall cup has a larger volume or the two cups have the same volume. I want you to move to the sign in the classroom which lists the decision you came up with. You and the other people who had the same idea as you have 5 minutes to try and find out if you are right. Next, ask the students if any groups found out which cup has the larger volume. =====

Show the students using water that actually the two cups have the same volume,




Linking cubes – Factors (Rubina and Nadine)
 For the grade 7 curriculum, you can use linking cubes to find the factors of any number. For example, start with 16 cubes. Find as many rectangles using all 16 cubes. Determine the different possibilities and recognize patterns that occur. If you make a perfect rectangle, the length and width of that rectangle (where each cube length = 1cm) is the factors of 16.



Therefore the factors of 16 are 1, 2, 4, 8 and 16 itself. Note, 3 is not a factor of 16 

Visual Organizor
This activity was prepared by myself and Michelle, it is a visual organizer which is a communication tool that uses visual symbols to express ideas and concepts.

This activity was prepared by myself and Greg. It is a recipe for making cookies. but first you must calculate all the fractions and ratios.

====Grade 12 Calculus and Vectors Lesson - Sydney Crosby ====

This lesson was prepared by myself and Kathryn. This lesson is interactive and cooperative. The students work in groups of 5 and get a chance to go outside to test out this real world problem which they will have to solve on paper with explanations.

====Grade 7 Using a Spreadsheet Lesson ====

This lesson was prepared by myself and taught in my placement. This lesson takes place in the computer lab, and students work through a step by step instruction to show to students how to make graphs and do simple calculations in a spreadsheet. The students really enjoyed this lesson since they got to use the computers.

====Grade 8 Using a Database Lesson ====

This lesson was prepared by myself and taught in my placement. This lesson takes place in the computer lab, and students work through a step by step instruction to show to students how to find information on statscan and make graphs. The students really enjoyed this lesson since they got to use the computers.



Grade 7 8 Bias Lesson
This lesson was prepared by myself and taught in my placement. This lesson is about bias and I showed a video on my computer using a projector. The video shown was the 3 little pigs, and the students were then asked about who the bad guy was in the video from the perspective of the pig and from the perspective of wolf.



====Wiki Containing Student Assignment ====

This is a chemistry lab prepared by myself and Kathryn. The whole assignment was organized on a wiki with the assignment, expectations, teachers resource and an example of the data which should be collected. This shows how wikis could be used in a classroom setting, you could use it as a website which contains experiment instructions or place to post lecture slides for students to view at home when completing homework.
