1 Many maroons visit the Kahn Academy website for assistance with academic topics, or for extra practice. Sometimes, however, topics available from Kahn Academy do not always align with topics tested on our standardized tests. That s why the AHS Academy website was created! Unfortunately, it is somewhat useless at the moment. There are no videos or practice problems Your job is to create instructional videos based on math topics that are tested by TAKS. You must also create a video guide the viewer can complete while watching the video. Also you must develop a worksheet that contains 7 practice questions. The answer key to the practice questions must also be available and should include worked out solutions. Finally, you must include a 5 question quiz the viewer can download and take. Don t forget to create an answer key to the quiz! The table below shows different Teks that TAKS test. You and a partner will be randomly assigned a topic from one of the TEKS below to create your video lesson. TEKS Students will be able to: 8 th grade mathematics (8) 1.D Express numbers in scientific notation, including negative exponents, in appropriate problem situations 2.D. Use addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division to solve problems involving fractions Algebra I (A) 2.D. Organize data, make and interpret scatterplots (including recognizing positive, negative, or no correlation for data approximating linear situations. 6.Ai. Develop the concept of slope as a rate of change and determine slopes from graphs and tables Geometry (G) 5.Di. Identify and apply patterns from right triangles to solve problems including special right triangles ( and ) 5.Dii. Identify and apply patterns from right triangles to solve meaningful problmes including triangles whose sides are Pythagorean triples

Use proportional relationships in similar twodimensional figures or similar three-dimensional figures to find missing measurements 12.A. Describe a set of data using mean, median, mode, and range. Choose among mean, median, mode or range to describe a set of data and justify the choice for a particular situation. 6.Aii. Develop the concept of slope as a rate of change and determine slopes from algebraic representations 6.C. Describe and predict the effects of changes in m and b on the graph of y=mx+b 6.Di. Graph and write equations of lines given two points 6.Dii. Graph and write equations of lines given a point and a sloppe, or a slope and a y- intercept 6.Ei. Determine the intercepts of the graphs of linear functions and zeros of linear functions from graphs and tables 6.Eii. Determine the intercepts of the graphs of linear functions and zeros of linear functions from the algebraic representations 6.G. Relate direct variation to linear functions and solve problems involving proportional change. 8.Bi. Solve systems of linear equations using graphs and tables. 8.Bii. Solve systems of linear equations using algebraic methods (elimination) 8.Bii. Solve systems of linear equations using algebraic methods (substitution) 10.Ai. Solve quadratic equations using tables and graphs 10.Aii. Solve quadratic equations using algebraic methods 11.Ci. Analyze data and represent situations involving exponential growth and decay using tables 8.A. Find areas of regular polygons and circles 8.B. Find areas of sectors and arc lenghts of circles using proportional reasoning 8.Di. Find surface areas of prisms and pyramids 8.Dii. Find surface areas of spheres, cones and cylinders 8.Diii. Find volumes of Prisms 8.Div. Find volumes of pyramids and cones 8.Dv. Find volumes of cylinders and spheres. 11.D. Describe the effect of perimeter, area, and volume when one or more dimensions of a figure are changed and apply this idea in solving problems

3 and graphs 11.Cii. Analyze data and represent situations involving exponential growth and decay using algebraic methods Project Timeline Project Item Topic and partner choice sheet submitted Final Project: video, video guide, and quiz Grading Rubric Project Item Video created on the ShowMe ipad app Video Guide to be used by the viewer to take notes while watching the video (pdf) 7 Practice Questions: May not be word problems or any odd number from textbooks, but must be a combination of 5 non-word problems and 2 word problems (pdf) Worked out solutions to practice questions (pdf) 3/2 A Day 3/5 B Day 3/29 A Day 3/30 B Day Due Date Point Value /25pts /15pts /10pts /20pts 5 question Quiz (pdf) /10pts Answer key to quiz: Answers only, no work (pdf) /20pts A note about grading These videos will be posted for use by all students at Austin High. You can easily get a 100 on this project if you meet the following criterion: 1. You submitted the project on or before the final due date. your pdf files to kwroblew@austinisd.org 2. Your project contains each of the items above in the appropariate electronic format 3. Your project does not contain any mathematical errors or inaccuracies Only complete projects will be graded. You will receive a zero if even one component is missing. Your grade will be updated once I receive all project documents/files.

4 RESOURCES: Part of this project is trying to figure out what your TEK means. The following are some resources that can help you understand what your TEK refers to and how the TAKS tests it. This website contains previous Taks problems organized according to the TEKS it test. On the ipads there is a dropbox account. There you will find old TAKS test and STAAR test released items. o You will also use this account to save your Show Me videos. o You have access to this account from anywhere. Just go to dropbox.com and sign in with the above information. You can always refer to textbooks. You will have access to the Algebra I, Geometry, and Algebra II textbooks online. o NOTE: The Algebra II textbooks covers Algebra I TEKS. There are 8 th grade mathematics textbooks in the classroom.

5 Topic Sheet This is due at the end of the period March 2 nd (A-day) and March 5 th (B-day). Partner Names: TEK: List your 7 practice problems: PROBLEM # PAGE # BOOK/RESOURCE ANY ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I MAY NEED: On a separate sheet of paper, begin writing out your 7 practice problems along with the solutions.
