Grade 8 Math – Percent Lesson Activity (“Shopping Spree!”)
Grade: 8
Subject: Math
Curriculum: Atlantic Canada Math 8
Author: Krista Hamilton, Harkins Middle School, Miramichi, NB
Resource Type: Lesson activity
Description: “Shopping Spree!” is a lesson activity designed to enhance a lesson on percent. Students draw from a hat a ‘gift card’ that is worth a certain amount of money (all are different so all students will have different answers). There are ‘items’ of certain cost posted around the classroom. Students may shop these ‘items’ with their ‘gift card’. The object of the activity is for students to spend as close to the actual amount of their ‘gift card’ as possible (without going over). They are required to record: Original price, sale price calculations, tax calculations and amount left on their gift card.
Items for sale can be cut from a flyer or printed from an online flyer (make sure to hide the sale price and have them calculate it based on original price and percent discount)

Gr. 6 Math – Decimals – ‘Dry-Erase’ Place Value Chart
Grade: 6
Subject: Math
NB Curriculum outcome: GCO: Number (N): Develop number sense (http://www.gnb.ca/0000/publications/curric/Mathematics_NB_Curriculum_Grade_6.pdf)
SCO: N1: Demonstrate an understanding of place value for numbers:

Text: Math Makes Sense 6 (Pearson)
Lesson 3.1 – ‘Numbers to Thousandths and Beyond’ – Pages 89-91
The attached place value chart is a great asset while teaching decimals. Place a class set of charts in sheet protectors and have a set of dry erase markers to hand out. While students are working on questions in which a place value chart would aid them, allow them to work questions out on the ‘dry-erase chart’.
