(OERB resources accessible at this site, but you need your own log-in password) > Interactive demonstration and class-activity about changing between fractions and decimals > Integers unit; includes lessons for multiple days of the unit, as well as hand-outs, and other resources > Investigating Dilatation Using a Variety of Tools. A SmartBoard presentation with attached PDF and Word Doc of the corresponding lesson plan. Includes student interactive exercises to be integrated into the lesson. > Solving linear equations complete with small group activities, teacher directed questions, and reference notes > Students will be able to model linear relationships verbally, numerically, algebraically and graphically; understand the concept of a variable; and solve simple algebraic equations using inspection, guess and check, concrete materials, and calculators.

**Useful Technology Tools**
> Grade 7 Math help videos with step-by-step solutions. > This website has interactive tools (gizmos). Each tool allows students to manipulate the gizmo to see its effects (e.g. change fraction quantities to see change in ratio of coloured tiles/non-coloured tiles)
 * **StudyPug**
 * ===** **IXL Grade 7 Math Practice** **===
 * This is a useful website that has a variety of interactive questions and problems relating to all the strands and expectations of the grade 7 curriculum.

> Khan chooses an appropriate number (with tenths, hundredths, and thousandths) and breaks it down by adding the words together. (twenty thousand + five tenths + seven hundredths). Example is highly effective because he does not reveal the full word, but rather guides the student towards coming up with the word. > How to calculate perimeter and area of a square and rectangle > This video shows how to plot a point on the Cartesian plane. It gives good step by step instructions > Classifying Triangles (Gangam Style): > A fun video about classifying different types of triangles. Students will enjoy the music and learn all about triangles. > How to determine an algebraic equation for a given pattern > All work is done on a single screen, different examples are considered (probability of picking a certain dog breed out of a group of mixed dogs, probability of rolling a standard die and getting less than 3, probability of picking a coloured ball out of a basket of balls) - examples all have real-world applications, and explanations are as simple as possible.
