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)

Ethical Dilemmas: Acceptable Use of School Computers Policy
The following assignment has been done with students in Broad Based Technology, but it could be completed with any class that uses school technology on a regular basis.
Before doing this assignment, you will need to review and discuss the policy on acceptable use of technology/computers.
You will also need to have a basic discussion on ethics and how some situations may be more serious than others and how a student may react differently to a situation than a teacher, depending on their viewpoints.
The assignment gives students the opportunity to consider how they may react differently if they were in a different role, or if they would react the same regardless of their role.
The assignment can be very helpful to set the tone for the class and what is expected of them when it comes to using technology. It can also “buy some time” the first or second week of classes as sometimes there are glitches and issues with technology before your classes can fully utilize the computers/school network. The role play activity can also help break the ice if students are just getting to know each other.
Suggestion: Upon completion of this assignment, you could have students create an awareness video, podcast or slideshow presentation highlighting why these guidelines are important.
Grade 9/10 Broad Based Technology Curriculum Outcomes: Apply positive, safe and ethical behaviours when using ICT.
