2. PREASSESSMENT
a) Learners
There are 30 learners, and 2 will be leaving for special education.
I have not done a rotating activity with the grade 8’s yet.
Students have done group work in small groups before.
AB has difficulty sustaining attention, this activity will keep him involved.
KP and JK should be in separate groups across the room from each other or they will just distract each other.
KP and JW should be in separate groups, they don’t work well together.

b) Environment
We will be in the classroom at 7 different stations (there will be 8 set up.
28/4 = 4 members per group.
There are 8 stations but there is two of each so that a rotation can go quicker with smaller groups.

c) Resources
Students will need to bring their rulers.

2 instruction sheets for each station
2 decks of cards
12 metre sticks
paper clips
new pencils
sticks of chalk
math text books
post-it notes
two one dollar coins
two running shoes?

Introduction:
Discuss with your partner, in what ways do we measure things? linear, volume, mass, monetary value, time

Introduction to the conversion chart - show students the chart and how it works. (ie. When you move up, the decimal place moves to the right, and when you move down the chart, the decimal place moves to the left.)
