Poetry Analysis Sub Plans Lessons (Print & Pass)
ELA, Literature, Poetry, Grade 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
Never worry about preparing a substitute plan again! This comprehensive collection of concise poem analysis lessons provides teachers with all the necessary resources for 10 substitute-led class sessions. Simply print out the readily available sub note along with the lesson handouts, which also include a helpful rubric, and you're all set. Both your substitute teacher and students will easily manage the rest! What's even better is that your students will have the opportunity to enhance their analysis and essay writing skills even in your absence! Here's how simple this sub plan series is to present: Simply print out and sign the included sub plan note, make copies of one of the 10 poetry analysis worksheets included in this resource, and leave them on your desk for your substitute. Students can work through the analysis questions in one class period and complete the analysis essay in the next (or simply forego the essay). Either way, you have a perfect 1-to-2 day lesson that requires almost no direct instruction! While student familiarity with the poetry concept is helpful, the handouts directions will be more than enough information to get your students working diligently while you're away. Each of the 10 included lessons contain the following: - A prepared sub plan note with teacher instructors - An annotation and discussion activity based around a literary concept and classic poem (see list below) - A clear lesson flow chart attached to the lesson hand-out - An engaging analysis essay prompt that builds on the annotation and discussion activities surrounding each included poem - A self-and-peer-review checklist activity - Clear and organized analysis essay writing tips that will succinctly function as learning guides for when you leave your class in the hands of a substitute (or when you just need a day's break from direct instruction) - A Common Core Standards-based grading rubric (Tied to 4 ELA standards) POEMS & CONCEPTS INCLUDED IN RESOURCE: Apostrophe: "Break Break Break," by Alfred, Lord Tennyson Rhyme: “How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count the Ways,” by Elizabeth Barrett Browning Symbolism: “A Noiseless Patient Spider,” by Walt Whitman Theme: “One Dignity Delays for All,” by Emily Dickinson Consonance: “The Road Not Taken,” by Robert Frost Blank Verse: “Shall I Compare Thee to a Summer’s Day,” by William Shakespeare Ambiguity: “The Walk,” by Thomas Hardy Repetition: “The Negro Speaks of Rivers,” by Langston Hughes Elegy: "To an Athlete Dying Young," by A.

Linear Functions vs Nonlinear Functions
, Grade 8, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
This worksheet helps students to connect graphs and equations and distinguish linear functions from nonlinear functions. The aim is to understand that the equation y = mx + b defines a linear function, whose graph is a straight line. This is for common core course 8.F.A.3. How to use: The first three pages have 6 graphs and a box at the bottom of the page. Students should pick equations from the box and connect them to the right graph. After that, they have to decide whether the graph-equation pair is a linear function. After that, there is a page of concept understanding, where students have to give verbal answers to the following questions: What do linear functions look like in a coordinate plane? Can you think of any situation when a straight line in a coordinate plane is not a function? Give three examples of equations of linear functions. Give two examples of equations of nonlinear functions. Along obviously linear and nonlinear functions, there is a task where the function is piecewise linear. (The students are supposed to answer that it's not linear, and in the answers section the concept of piecewise linear is explained.) There are 4 task pages and 2 answer pages in this resource.

Adding and subtracting fractions mixed numbers unlike denominators
Math, Fractions, Grade 5, 6, Teacher Tools, Lesson Plans
This pdf goes trough adding and subtracting fractions with different denominators and mixed numbers. There are 4 pages of theory, 12 pages of practice (171 tasks) and 13 pages of answers. This is designed for 5th grade math students, but can be used also with a bit older students. The first section explains addition and subtraction with fractions. At first, we recall terms numerator and denominator and remind students that in order to add or subtract you have to have the same denominator. The second section is about addition and subtraction with mixed numbers. Here, we also get to know the concept of improper fractions. The third section is about least common denominators. Here, we also introduce the sieve of Eratosthenes with 100 numbers. Then, we practise finding prime factors for some numbers between 20 and 200. The section 4 is for practising all the concepts introduced in this resource in mixed order. There is also a table for investigating pairs of numbers, their factors, factors of LCD and finding the LCD. Most answers have also intermediate steps visible, so it's easier for students to revisit their work themselves. This material is suitable for independent work packet, but also for classroom work or homework.

Linear vs Nonlinear Functions PowerPoint for Math Course 8.F.A.3
, Grade 8, Presentations, Teacher Tools
Linear vs Nonlinear Functions PowerPoint for Math Course 8.F.A.3 An unexceptional teaching resource for Grade 8 educators, focusing on the enthralling sphere of functions, particularly linear and nonlinear variants. Specifically crafted to bridge learners' concept understanding and unravel their representation through equations and graphs. Conceptual Progression in Linear and Nonlinear Functions A systematic progression in information presentation begins from establishing foundational concepts on linear function forms y=mx+b, striving towards full comprehension of how this translates graphically into straight lines. Learners familiarize with the classic math symbols via illustrations on input-output correlations using x and y variables complemented by coordinate plane examples. Nonlinear functions are introduced gradually from basic instances to highlighting some similar attributes they can share with linear ones given certain conditions met by their exponents. A Practical Approach Tasks prompting graph-equation matching provide an enriching hands-on experience , bringing theoretical constructs alive while encouraging active engagement throughout a learner’s journey. Critical thinking is invoked via questions designed around unusual cases like vertical lines, steering attention towards what truly defines a function amid common algebraic behaviors perceptions. The Summative Angle & Educator Flexibility This lesson culminates in summarizing all presented aspects neatly setting firm groundwork about functions ahead of subsequent lessons. Being editable except for diagrams affords flexibility in tailoring according to class dynamics maintaining standard requisites nonetheless. Practicality within varied pedagogical scenarios comes packed given its adaptability across whole-group lectures, small group discussions or homework assignments. A tribute to focused content delivery, concept clarity, interactive features, and format adaptability; Graphs phased out of visible scales reinforce focus on general attributes over example numbers. Verdict: An indispensable tool for teaching Course 8.F.A.3 linear and nonlinear functions in Grade 8 math curriculums, thanks to its thoroughness, remarkable clarity, interactive aspects and customizability.

Construct Functions Worksheet for 8th Grade Course 8.F.B.4
, Grade 8, Worksheets & Printables, Worksheets
This worksheet is for 8th grade math course 8.F.B.4. There are two types of tasks: Constructing functions from graphs and constructing functions from tables. We are always looking for the form y=mx+b. This worksheet is a printable pdf that includes answers. This worksheet doesn’t represent any new skills to the students, at this point they should be able to construct functions from graphs and tables. However, the skill of constructing functions from tables may need some more practice at this point of their 8th grade math studies. The tasks with graphs are not too hard; some of them have fractions as rate of change, but the grid is placed so that you should be able to find exact values for the rate of change.The graphs have different grids to make the students pay careful attention. As for tasks with tables, students need to find the rate of change and the initial value (y-intercept) from the tables that represent real life situations. They usually also have to do some calculations before the can construct a function. Some examples of real life situations are: prices that include pay per unit and a delivery fee or dose of a medicine. This resource has 7 task pages and 1 answer page

Math, Algebra, Grade 8, Teacher Tools, Presentations
This PowerPoint presentation for 8th grade math covers common core course 8.F.B.4. The focus is constructing linear functions from graphs or tables. There are no brand new concepts compared to previous courses, except the term initial value.There are 11 slides in this presentation . We will find rates of change and initial values (y-intercepts) from graphs and tables with simple examples. This PowerPoint is editable, except the pictures. Contents: Recalling that equation of a linear function is of a form y=mx+b (with xy-coordinate plane) To construct functions, we need to find the right values for m and b Example of picking two points from the graph and calculating the change of y and the change of x. Then we calculate the rate of change by division. Example of finding an initial value from a graph Example of finding rate of change from a table that describes price of pizzas Continuing the pizza example, finding the initial value from a table Meaning of the initial value in this example, for example a delivery cost Constructing the equation from the pizza example This presentation is part of my series for 8th grade math.

Timely feedback is crucial for student development. So, if a student happens to be absent on the test day, others don't have to wait. They can receive feedback on their performance promptly, while the absent student can take a different test from the package when they return. For educators aiming to prepare their students better, an option is to utilize one test as a practice exercise before the actual evaluation. This way, students can familiarize themselves with the structure and type of questions, boosting their confidence and readiness. In this Test Set Number System and Expressions and Equations (first half) the ninth task on each test is different, ensuring that while the tests are consistent in their structure, they aren't monotonous. Additionally, with the unique code located on the bottom right of every page, there's no need to worry about mixing up the papers when printed. It's a small yet thoughtful detail that streamlines the administrative side of things for teachers. In essence, this resource aims to simplify the evaluation process for educators while ensuring a fair and standardized testing experience for 8th-grade students. Whether you're a public school teacher or a homeschooler, these tests offer a reliable way to gauge understanding and skill levels in key math areas. These exact tests are unique to Teach Simple. This zip package has 5 PDFs. Each pdf has 3 task pages and 3 answer pages + one about page. The task types are: 1. Write as one power (multiplication with the same base) 2. Calculate (Multiplication of powers, calculate the result) 3. Are these rational or irrational (Classify some fractions, square roots and/or repeating decimal numbers to rational or irrational) 4. Place these numbers on the number line (two irrational numbers) 5. Solve equations, give all exact solutions (Square roots, a) has an integer answer, b) doesn't have an integer answer c) has a fraction answer) 6. Solve equations, give all exact solutions (Cube roots, a) has an integer answer, b) doesn't have an integer answer c) has a fraction answer) 7.
