Welcome to the wonderful world of Math !

Grade 8 Math will open your eyes to a many wondrous thing.

Hello and welcome to grade 8 Math. We, at PC, use the blended learning model to teach the grade 8 Math program. What this means is that we use both a student centered and teacher centered approach. We are able to accomplish this task using various tools : Interactive Student Notebooks, assignments, quizzes and tests as well as projects and a wide variety of activities done both in and out of the classroom. One of the tools that we use is Yukon Moodle. This program allows students to push ahead of the teacher allowing them to complete the course earlier. Also, for those kids who miss school for a variety of reasons, the program enables them to catch up from a distance so long as they have access to a computer and the internet. There is still a large part of the program that is to be accomplished using paper and pencil and old fashioned elbow grease.
I'm looking forward to an exciting year with your kids. The yukon moodle site has a calendar built into it
letting the student know when each unit should be completed. Just type in Yukon moodle and the kids can gain access to this site using their student ids and passwords that they will be given during the first week of school. If you have any questions, feel free to email me at daniel.bisson@yesnet.yk.ca or call 667-8044.
