Understanding Lesson Strategies and Activities

This video introduces the new math curriculum for grade 8, focusing on using Open Up Resources available online and in Canvas. It explains the lesson numbering system and guides students on accessing lessons in Canvas. The video includes a warm-up activity to identify which image doesn't belong, followed by a Triangle Square Dance activity to describe dance moves using geometric transformations. Vocabulary is formalized, and students practice these concepts. The lesson concludes with a summary and a cooldown activity.
