I talk them through the first time. Each time after that I give them time to try and put everything they remember on the sheet. Then we talk through the entire presentation again. Eventually many students can even talk through the activity.
I encourage the students to annotate the math chart in the TAKS Test Booklet before starting the test.

8th Grade Formula One Math
(Courtesy of Karen Duncan NISD)
This is an activity that can be used to get students familiar with the TAKS Formula Chart. There are 16 ppt slides in all. You can use all or part of them. This activity can be as simple as having the students “recognize” what formula to use in order to solve a particular problem or recognizing the formula and then actually solving it.

Choose a word or group of words for students to locate real world pictures of. Have students bring in pictures and glue to bulletin board paper. Label the top of the paper with the word of the week and hang in the classroom or around the school in the hallways. Ideas of places to locate examples: newspapers, magazines, junk mail, take a picture and print or email in. Students will get creative looking for examples. Take five minutes and have students show their picture/example and explain how it is representing the word of the week. If a student’s example is incorrect have them listen to the other examples and re-examine their picture to see if they can find an example. Lots of times you will hear them say “Oh look there is” and start discussing other math word examples. Some word ideas for the Measurement Unit:
Examples that you would use measuring with: Inches, feet, yards, centimeters, meters, ounces, cups, gallons, ect...

Volume Activity Directions This lab is designed to help students understand the formulas for volume. They will compare the volume of a cylinder and cone, a large cube and a square pyramid, and a sphere and a large cylinder.

Materials:
large tub to work in
water
pitcher (I use a 2 cup pitcher)
funnel
a set of relational solids (same base and
height)
a copy of the lab for each student
![Page 22: Measurement In the Middle School World](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081503/5681452b550346895db1eefb/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Procedures:
I do not explain the purpose of this lab as I want my students to figure it out for themselves.
I do however, explain and demonstrate how to use the funnel and pour into the solids.
![Page 23: Measurement In the Middle School World](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081503/5681452b550346895db1eefb/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
I work with groups of 3-4 students and have them come to the station table to do all the pouring under my supervision.
Then they go back to the group seats to discuss and record.
We discuss how to look at the solid to determine when it is full (at eye level).
I emphasize that ALL water is to stay over the tub.

Directions for Perimeter, Area, and Volume with Scale Factors
Purpose:
These labs are designed to help students understand the relationship of scale factor in perimeter, area, and volume. I do not tell the students the relationship at the beginning.
My desire is for them to find the relationships.
![Page 29: Measurement In the Middle School World](https://reader036.vdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022081503/5681452b550346895db1eefb/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Notes:
I highly suggest that you do not do both of these in the same week.
Do one and then practice application problems with it for several days.
This gives the students a chance to become comfortable with those operations before adding more.
Then move on to the other activity.
