Standards that address
integrated areas:
Alignment with
National Standards:
Mathematics:
·
Understand relationships among the angles, side lengths, perimeters,
areas, and volumes of similar objects.
·
Use coordinate geometry to examine special geometric shapes, such as
regular polygons or those with pairs of parallel or perpendicular sides.
·
Describe sizes, positions, and orientations of shapes under informal
transformations such as flips, turns, slides, and scaling.
Language Arts:
·
Use oral language with clarity, voice and fluency to communicate a message.
·
Determine purpose, point of view and
audience, and choose an appropriate written, oral or visual format.
·
Demonstrate proficient use of proper
mechanics, usage and spelling skills.
Art:
·
Generalize about the effects of visual structures and functions and
reflect upon these effects in their own work.
·
Students select media, techniques, and processes;
analyze what makes them effective or not effective in communicating ideas;
and reflect upon the effectiveness of their choices
·
Students employ organizational structures and
analyze what makes them effective or not effective in the communication of
ideas
Alignment with Connecticut
Frameworks
Mathematics:
·
6.8-10.2
Develop an understanding of the properties of geometric
figures by applying knowledge of coordinate representations.
·
6.8-10.5
Use manipulatives, models,
technology, and real objects to investigate, explore, and describe the
geometry in nature and to solve geometric problems.
·
6.8-10.7 Classify
figures in terms of congruence and similarity and apply these
relationships.
Language Arts:
·
Make and verify predictions based on prior knowledge and text.
·
Draw verifiable conclusions.
·
Identify the central idea or purpose of a text.
Art:
·
Use different media, techniques and processes (
two dimensional, three dimesional,
including media/technology) to communicate ideas, feelings, experiences,
and stories.
·
Select and use the elements of art and principles of design to
improve communication of their ideas.
·
Compare and contrast purposes for creating works of art.
Alignment with
Common Core of Learning
Mathematics:
·
Students will analyze and use spatial relationships and basic
concepts of geometry to construct, draw, describe and compare geometric
models and their transformations and use geometric relationships and
patterns to solve problems.
·
Communicate numerical, geometric, algebraic, and statistical ideas
orally and in written form with models, pictures, graphs and mathematical
symbols.
·
Identify and use connections within mathematics to identify
interrelationships and equivalent representations, to construct
mathematical models, and to investigate and appreciate mathematical
structure.
v Taken from the Town of Manchester’s
Curriculum for 8th grade mathematics.
Language Arts:
1.Students will produce written, oral, and visual
texts to express, develop and substantiate ideas and experiences.
Art:
2.Students will reflect upon, describe, analyze,
interpret and evaluate their own and others’ work.
3.Create art works that express concepts, ideas and
feeling in each art form.
4.Students will understand, select and apply media,
techniques, and processes.
