The Mathematics Instructional Learning Community (MILC) Project is an alliance among Fayette County Public Schools (FCPS) math teachers focusing on:
  • Increasing the pedagogy and content knowledge of math teachers;
  • Integrating technology tools into everyday math instruction; and
  • Developing, implementing and revising units of study.

• Students will use the paper copies attached to complete the work before they log on and complete the assessment online.
• The paper form of the common online assessment will allow teachers to “see” the student work and still enable the answers to post to the platform.
• The paper copies will also enable PLC’s to analyze for common errors or misconceptions or gather examples of exemplary work.

Yes, calculators used for all assessments.

Location: IAKSS		Use with 8-5 and 8-6

Use on Pi Day (March 14)

Thanks to Jill Ferguson, Beaumont, for creating this ER question called, "Many Measures."

Two-Dimensional Geometry: Circles, Irregular Polygons, Measurement
- Estimate and find circle measurements in standard units (radius, diameter, circumference, area) and relationships among them.
- Develop and use the formulas for area of a triangle, a parallelogram and a trapezoid and relate each to the formula for the area of a rectangle

Students will determine the area and perimeter of triangles, and quadrilaterals (rectangles, squares, trapezoids) (grade 6) and the area and circumference of circles (grade 7).
Perimeters of polygons is mastered in grade 3 and revisited in grade 6.

She found with NCTM and allows the students bring in "round" food (cookies, pies, donuts, Moon Pies, …..

This is a link to a video that she highly recommends, too. Thank you! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YokKp3pwVFc

The famous Anthony Davis basketball poster is this inspiration for this task.

Can be used on Pi Day.

Would always be used for a lesson with Circumference.

Area, Surface Area, and Volume:
Where are these topics taught in our FCPS Math Standards/Curriculum?


Grade 3 Measure area by counting squares
Grade 3 Relate area to multiplication and addition

Grade 4 Multiplication with Area Models

Grade 5 Measure volume by counting unit cubes
Grade 5 Show volume would be the same as multiplying edge lengths
Grade 5 Apply volume formula V = l x w x h or V = B x h (whole number edge lengths)

Grade 6 Area of triangles, special quadrilaterals, and polygons by decomposing into triangles and/or rectangles
Surface Area of a triangular or rectangular prism taught but not state tested
Volume of right rectangular prisms using V = lwh or V = Bh (rational edge lengths)

Grade 7 Area and circumference of circles
Area of a trapezoid by formula
Surface Area (using nets as needed) for cubes, pyramids, and right prisms
Volume for cubes, pyramids, and right prisms

Grade 8 Apply formulas for surface area of cones, cylinders, and spheres
Apply formulas for the volume of cones, cylinders, and spheres

Reminder:
When a course is skipped for acceleration (i.e., a student moves from 7th Grade Math “PreAlgebra” to 8th Grade Algebra), the math teacher must include “skipped content” in the course currently being taught to those students.
