Planar Euclidean Geometry including triangles, polygons, circles, area, and constructions with a compass and straightedge. Emphasis is placed on the role of definitions and proving theorems via the axiomatic method.

This edition of Euclid’s Elements presents the definitive Greek text—i.e., that edited by J.L. Heiberg (1883– 1885)—accompanied by a modern English translation, as well as a Greek-English lexicon.

This learning video introduces students to the world of Fractal Geometry through the use of difference equations. As a prerequisite to this lesson, students would need two years of high school algebra (comfort with single variable equations) and motivation to learn basic complex arithmetic. Ms. Zager has included a complete introductory tutorial on complex arithmetic with homework assignments downloadable here. Also downloadable are some supplemental challenge problems. Time required to complete the core lesson is approximately one hour, and materials needed include a blackboard/whiteboard as well as space for students to work in small groups. During the in-class portions of this interactive lesson, students will brainstorm on the outcome of the chaos game and practice calculating trajectories of different equations.

Using an Arduino microprocessor, students will build an automated fish food feeder so fish can be fed when no one is at school?

This project involves learning how to do simple wiring of an LED, a buzzer, and a servo (motor) to a simple-to-use Arduino microprocessor.

This lesson is written using the Launch, Explore, Summarize lesson plan format and includes a link to a chart to anticipate student strategies and monitor student strategies and thinking as they work through the problems. Tasks also include a recording sheet where applicable. They are meant to be used as ideas. Please make changes and adaptations as necessary for the students in your class. All of the ideas for the tasks in this bank are common picture book math problems or were created by UVU School of Education Faculty.  If you use one of these tasks, please complete our Picture Book Task Survey so that we can learn more about your experience teaching, how students solve problems, and improve our Picture Book Task Bank.If you have any questions, comments, or concerns, please feel free to contact us at creativelearning@uvu.edu or nicole.gearing@uvu.edu.

Students will create a data set and explore it for Mean, Median, and Mode.

This learning video presents an introduction to the Flaws of Averages using three exciting examples: the ''crossing of the river'' example, the ''cookie'' example, and the ''dance class'' example. Averages are often worthwhile representations of a set of data by a single descriptive number. The objective of this module, however, is to simply point out a few pitfalls that could arise if one is not attentive to details when calculating and interpreting averages. The essential prerequisite knowledge for this video lesson is the ability to calculate an average from a set of numbers. During this video lesson, students will learn about three flaws of averages: (1) The average is not always a good description of the actual situation, (2) The function of the average is not always the same as the average of the function, and (3) The average depends on your perspective. To convey these concepts, the students are presented with the three real world examples mentioned above.

A teacher friendly research document that explains the three dimensions of science including science and engineering practices, crosscutting concepts, and disciplinary core ideas. Each dimension is explained in depth within its own chapter. The disciplinary core ideas are grouped into major disciplines (i.e., Physical Sciences; Life Sciences; Earth and Space Sciences; Engineering, Technology, and Applications of Science). Each discipline is explained in a separate chapter. The report also describes developmentally appropriate learning progressions.

Fun activity where students select several inputs, then computer provides the output, then the student wins by figuring out the function rule.

This month join us for a great Make-And-Take Marvel with co-leader Kelli Cannon. We will also share our monthly newsletter and some Googley updates.

We will have a brief sharing session and then what we are calling Make-and-Take Marvels, pre-made lessons that you can take to your classrooms tomorrow with all the materials ready to go. This month, co-leader Matthew Winters will walk us through a lesson he calls "In The Room," a miniature digital/physical diorama project using Google Slides.

Learn more about Utah's GEGUtah program and join in on the fun! We are so excited about our upcoming GEGUtah/Utah Nearpod Community combined meetup! Come join both communities to share what is new with Google and Nearpod.

Join us on May 4th for our May GEGUtah Meetup! We will have a few guest speakers from Derivita to discuss their amazing integration with Google Classroom. Then Ian Davey will walk us through a Design Sprint to spark us for Summer break!
