  1. Exemplar Module Analysis Grade 8 – Module 1

  2. Participant Outcomes: • Become familiar with content related to Grade 8 Module 1. • Understand the differences between the old standards and the new standards. • Know the relationship between the concepts in Topic A, properties of integer exponents, and Topic B, scientific notation. • Review an assessment item and participate in scoring the item through the use of a rubric.

  3. Integer Exponents and Scientific Notation • Topic A: Exponential Notation & Properties of Integer Exponents • Know and apply properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent expressions • 5.NBT.2: Use whole number exponents to denote positive powers of 10 • 6.EE.1: Use exponents with bases other than 10 • 7.G.4 & 7.G.6: Use exponents with area and volume • Topic B: Magnitude & Scientific Notation • Estimate very large and very small quantities expressed in the form of a single digit times an integer power of ten • Perform operations with numbers written in scientific notation • Scientific notation relates to place value learned in K-5.

  4. What’s new? • Current NY Grade 8 Standard: • Develop and apply the laws of exponents for multiplication and division • Common Core: • Know and apply properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent expressions • What does it mean to know something as compared to develop?

  5. Table Talk • How many days are typically spent on these topics? • How are concepts developed? • How well do students retain information, what do they struggle with? In other words, what do students really know? • Current NY Grade 8 Standard: • Develop and apply the laws of exponents for multiplication and division • Common Core: • Know and apply properties of integer exponents to generate equivalent expressions

  6. Why spend so much time on the laws? The ratio of the area of California to the area of the U.S.A. is 1:23. • A strong foundation in properties of exponents reduces the work with scientific notation to computational exercises. • California’s geographic area is 163,696 sq mi, and the geographic area of the U.S. is 3,794,101 sq mi. Let us round off these figures to and • Estimate the ratio of the area of California to the area of the U.S.A.

  7. Another example: • The average distance from Earth to the moon is about km, and in year 2014, the distance from Earth to Mars is approximately km. On this simplistic level, how many more kilometers is it to travel from Earth to Mars than travel from Earth to the moon? • What do students need to know to answer this?

  8. How is the strong foundation in properties of exponents established? • By attending to precision with respect to definitions (MP 6), • By looking for and making use of structure (MP 7), • And by constructing logical arguments to build a progression of statements to explore the truth of conjectures (MP 3).

  9. Precise definition of exponential notation: EX: Josie says that Is she correct? How do you know? • What’s the purpose of such an exercise? In general, for any number x and any positive integer n, xnis by definition,

  10. Apply definition to write equivalent expressions: • Why do we restrict m and n to positive integers? In general, if x is any number and m, n are positive integers, then

  11. Apply definition to write equivalent expressions: • By analogy, this law relates to what we know about repeated addition and the distributive property:

  12. Apply definition to write equivalent expressions:

  13. Apply definition to develop another law: In general, if x is any number and m, n are positive integers, then

  14. Apply definition to develop another rule: • Suppose we add 4 copies of 3, thereby getting (3+3+3+3), and then add 5 copies of the sum. We get:

  15. Do you “teach” or do you “tell”?x0 = ? • Build logical progression of statements to explore truth of a conjecture. • Make a conjecture: A Socratic discussion leads to the need to define as 1 (for positive number x). • Verify the conjecture: Students check to see if the first law of exponents, is still valid for whole numbers m and n(rather than just positive exponents in previous lessons). • Students develop cases for m and n explore the truth of the conjecture (MP 3) made about is accurate.

  16. Exploring conjectures and extending definitions: • Make a conjecture: A new discussion leads to the need to define as for nonzero number x and positive integer n. • Verify the conjecture: Again, students see, by exploring a number of cases, that this definition is consistent with for all integers m and n, and therefore a valid extension to the original definition.

  17. Precision means we must be careful to quantify the variable: • This work leads students to expanding the existing definition to positive number x and any integer b in • Why the restrictions onx and b? How often do you put restrictions on symbols?

  18. Sprints

  19. Assessment: Then: Now:

  20. Key Points: • Importance of precise definition of , leading to an understanding of the laws of integer exponents. • Support students, through discussion, in developing logical progression of statements.
