Teachers Name The Digital Learning Tools They Use Most Often
As part of our survey of ed tech uses and perceptions in U.S. PreK-12 public schools, we asked teachers to name the digital learning tools that they use most often for the subject(s) that they teach. A teacher’s subject area was determined by the teacher noting their main subject area(s) taught. These charts outline the breakdown for those teachers who listed Math, ELA, Reading, or Science as their primary or secondary subject. The percentages within the bar charts reflect the percentage of teacher respondents within that category who named that particular tool as one of their most often used. We highlighted any tools that were named by 5% or more of teacher respondents within that category. The percentages in donut charts reflect how many times a tool was named relative to others within that specific grade band. We highlighted any tools that accounted for two percent % or more of all named tools within that category.
Note: readers should not interpret the results as an indicator of tool popularity or endorsement of particular tools. The survey - as well as this particular question - was not designed to rank tool preferences or quality within the educator population.

Can we compete? Do A levels match the world's best?
Ofqual conducted a six-year research programme to investigate international assessments taken by senior secondary students and compare them to A-levels in England. The research focused on assessments from other countries that are designed to prepare students for university entrance, such as the International Baccalaureate. The study analyzed the curriculum and assessment methods of different qualifications in subjects like chemistry, English, history and mathematics. Preliminary findings identified differences across countries in topics covered, skills assessed, question formats and predictability of grade boundaries. Future work will expand the study to more subject areas and different ages.

K to 12 - Grade 8 Math Learners Module Quarter 2
Here are the completed statements based on the conclusions:
1. n(A × B) = n(B × A).
2. A × B ≠ B × A.
The key conclusions are:
1. The cardinalities of the Cartesian products A × B and B × A are equal, since n(A × B) = n(B × A).
2. However, the sets A × B and B × A are not equal, since the ordered pairs will be arranged differently, so A × B ≠ B × A.

1) Students conducted an experiment to determine the relationship between force and acceleration by pulling a cart with varying numbers of rubber bands (1, 2, 3, 4) and measuring the cart's acceleration using a ticker tape timer.
2) Analysis of the ticker tape charts showed that as the number of rubber bands increased, representing greater force, the length of the strips increased, indicating higher average velocity over time intervals.
3) This demonstrated a direct relationship between the net force acting on an object and its acceleration, as described by Newton's second law of motion.
K to 12 - Grade 8 Math Learner Module
This document introduces special products and factors of polynomials. It discusses how patterns can be used to simplify algebraic expressions and solve geometric problems. Students will learn to identify special products through pattern recognition, find special products of polynomials, and apply these concepts to real-world problems. The goals are to demonstrate understanding of key concepts and solve practice problems accurately using different strategies.
Science Grade 8 Teachers Manual
This unit discusses force, motion, and energy. It has six modules that describe energy transfer at both the macroscopic and particle levels. Module 1 focuses on how unbalanced forces cause changes in motion. Module 2 explains how force can do work and transfer energy. The unit aims to develop students' understanding that energy is transmitted through various means and can cause changes in objects. Most topics are dealt with qualitatively to provide a basic understanding of concepts.

- 10. Depth of Knowledge • Dr. NormanWebb’s model for Depth of Knowledge. • The DOK level for an individual content standard is intended to represent the typical performance level of cognitive complexity that a learning activity or assessment item associated with that standard might entail. • This is particularly important for assessment purposes, since 50% or more of assessment items associated with a given standard should meet or exceed the DOK level of the standard. CPALMS http://www.cpalms.org/standards/dok.aspx
