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)

Ancient History (Egypt Research Assignment)
Below are links to a concluding research assignment for the study of Ancient Egypt in History 10.
NOTE: At the beginning of the study, students discussed and brainstormed what they knew and what they wanted to know about Ancient Egypt, so at the end of the study they could revisit that class discussion and consider topics we did not explore or topics they want to explore further.
The link below is for teachers who use Google Drive as they can then make their own copy of the assignment and tweak and change it for their learning environment.
