In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad must get into a vault before Hacker, Buzz and Delete by cracking a code of shapes and numbers.
This is a lesson plan created by Mikayla Judd. The lesson plan talks about how to help students multiply and divide fractions using a task based instruction. Once students have mastered the skill, they will create a digital story explaining how to solve problems that multiply and divide fractions.
Reading and creating comic strips and comic books are engaging ways to promote literacy at any grade level and across content areas. The students in this video are members of a high school comic book club and have access to drawing tablets and Adobe Photoshop, so they can achieve sophisticated results. Even without such software, however, teachers can still integrate digital comics into a wide range of teaching situations.
There are a number of comic books, especially contemporary ones, that are not “school appropriate,” so you might want to guide students’ web research on comic books.
Research indicates that most standards documents articulate far more content than can be taught in the time available to K–12 teachers. In response, analysts at Marzano Resources sought to identify, as objectively as possible, a focused set of critical concepts for each K–12 grade level in the content areas of English language arts (ELA), mathematics, science, and social studies.
This word problem requires students to create expressions to calculate gas milage for a vehicle.
The purpose of this task is to introduce or reinforce the concept of a function, especially in a context where the function is not given by an explicit algebraic representation. Further, the last part of the task emphasizes the significance of one variable being a function of another variable in an immediately relevant real-life context.
The primary purpose of this task is to illustrate certain aspects of the mathematics described in the A.SSE.1. The task has students look for structure in algebraic expressions related to a context, and asks them to relate that structure to the context. In particular, it is worth emphasizing that the task requires no algebraic manipulation from the students.
In this visualization adapted from the University of Massachusetts Medical School, discover the role that dengue viral proteins play in a human cell as the virus prepares to replicate.
This lesson plan requires students to create a resource using iMovie that can be used as notes, while also providing students and opertunitiy to collaborate and communicate to describe the six key features of a graph and table.
This is a lesson that teaches students about cyberbullying and appropriate online interactions. It can be tailored to fit many different grade levels. It allows students to explore, discuss, and create a public service announcement about this topic.
In this lesson, students will be tasked with creating their own digital escape room using Google Forms about a math concept they have learned throughout the year.
This is a lesson plan to incorporate digital photography into math. The students will create a mini video lesson for a topic that they have learned during their current term. This is a very general lesson plan.
This lesson plan is for Secondary Math 1 students at the end of their statistics unit. It requires them to calculate mean, median, mode, IQR, Q1, Q3, and range, and be able to make a dot plot, histogram, and box plot.
This task gives students the opportunity to verify that a dilation takes a line that does not pass through the center to a line parallel to the original line, and to verify that a dilation of a line segment (whether it passes through the center or not) is longer or shorter by the scale factor.
. This lesson covers how to do dilations on a coordinate plane. It also contains an interactive note google presenation to go along with the lesson, a photo project to help review all the different types of transformations, and exit ticket/exit ticket rubric to check students understanding of the lesson. This lesson is meant to be taught in one 70-80 minute period.
Digital Escape by finding scale factors from Dilations.
This task does not actually require that the student solve the system but that they recognize the pairs of linear equations in two variables that would be used to solve the system. This is an important step in the process of solving systems.
The purpose of this task is to illustrate through an absurd example the fact that in real life quantities are reported to a certain level of accuracy, and it does not make sense to treat them as having greater accuracy.
In this lesson students will use geogebra and other tools to discover how to calculate the slope of a line. They will also recognize lines that have 0 and undefined slope.
This is a lesson plan designed to help students construct the concept of a square root in relation to the area and side length of a square. Students will also connect the square root as the undoing of a number that has been squared. A key mathematical concept.
