Economic cycles have risen and fallen over the past 100 years, in a somewhat predictable fashion behaving like a wave with periods of: peak, trough, recession, recovery. An economic expansion is a term sometimes used for the increasing growth period of the business cycle. The peak is when it is at its highest point. An economic contraction is a term sometimes used for the downturn (negative growth) of the business cycle. The trough is when it is at its lowest point. All of these points in an economic cycle have important impacts on financial decision making.Many individuals make emotional decisions based on where an economic cycle may be, instead of looking a rational evidence of where the economic cycle might be going. Attached with these handouts is a document titled "Reasons Why Investors Avoided The Stock Market" which shows many major negative events, followed by tremendous growth in the economy. If individuals understand these normal economic cycles, they can really benefit financially through investments and sound financial decision making. 

Students will be able to reflect on a variety of personal values and how these values can influence their financial decisions. Students can also use the "MOVE" activity to explore thier own beliefs and alignments with certain "money value statements". This activity can also demonstrate how values differ from person to person. 

Ces activités axées sur le bien-être émotionnel aideront à mieux comprendre le concept de bien-être émotionnel et à apprendre des stratégies et des habiletés qui les aideront à gérer les émotions et surmonter les obstacles.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate acute angles (those less than 90 deg). The applet presents an angle (initially acute) that the user can adjust by dragging the end points of the line segments forming the angle. As it changes it shows the angle measure and a message that indicate which type of angle it is. There a software 'detents' that make it easy capture exact angles such as 90 degrees and 180 degrees The message and angle measures can be turned off to facilitate classroom discussion. The text on the page has links to other pages defining each angle type in depth. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the three types of triangle: acute, obtuse and right. The applet shows a triangle that is initially acute (all angles less then 90 degrees) which the user can reshape by dragging any vertex. There is a message changes in real time while the triangle is being dragged that tells if the triangle is an acute, right or obtuse triangle and gives the reason why. By experimenting with the triangle student can develop an intuitive sense of the difference between these three classes of triangle. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

In this unit of study students learn about adaptations and how they help animals survive. They will apply this knowledge to design new technologies. This unit integrates nine STEM attributes and was developed as part of the South Metro-Salem STEM Partnership's Teacher Leadership Team. Any instructional materials are included within this unit of study.

Students will plan and design an imaginary organism that lives in the Temperate Deciduous Forest, Tropical Rainforest, or Desert. Students will then identify three adaptations of this animal, and determine how the adaptations of that animal may respond to a change in the ecosystem.

This activity first asks the students to study the patterns of bird flight and understand that four main forces affect the flight abilities of a bird. They will study the shape, feather structure, and resulting differences in the pattern of flight. They will then look at several articles that feature newly designed planes and the birds that they are modeled after. The final component of this activity is to watch the Nature documentary, "Raptor Force" which chronicles the flight patterns of birds, how researchers study these animals, and what interests our military and aeronautical engineers about these natural adaptations. This activity serves as an extension to the biomimetics lesson. Although students will not be using this information in the design process for their desert resort, it provides interesting information pertaining to the current use of biomimetics in the field of aviation. Students may extend their design process by using this information to create a means of transportation to and from the resort if they chose to.

The following adaptations can support this student’s needs. As the semester proceeds, additional adaptations may be identified and others may be discontinued. Check subsequent adaptations using a different coloured pen.

"This document, The Adaptive Dimension for K-12 Students (2023) is a renewal of the foundational document The Adaptive Dimension for K-12 Students (2017) and its predecessor The Adaptive Dimension in Core Curriculum (1992). The Adaptive Dimension for K-12 Students (2023) is designed to assist educators in making decisions to support the achievement of all students within the context of Saskatchewan’s curricula."These documents are from the Saskatchewan Ministry of Education.
