This problem introduces a logistic growth model in the concrete setting of estimating the population of the U.S. The model gives a surprisingly accurate estimate and this should be contrasted with linear and exponential models, studied in ``U.S. Population 1790-1860.'' This task requires students to interpret data presented.

In this lesson, students will research using World Book Student Online to research how mathemathics concepts are used/created or have been used/created in history in other parts of the world. This lesson should take about one class period or 45 minutes. This could be used as either a virtual lesson for students or as a in class independent work project.

This animated “Math Shorts” video explains the term additive inverse and provides several examples that demonstrate the concept. In the accompanying classroom activity, students create equations and solve problems that involve adding groups of negative and positive integers that sum to zero. To get the most out of this activity, students should be familiar with plotting positive and negative integers on a number line.

In this video, learn how to use division and place value to convert fractions to decimals. In the accompanying classroom activity, students watch the video to help them learn how to convert a fraction to a decimal using division. Then, they turn their attention to placing rational numbers on a number line. Practicing the placement of these numbers reinforces students’ number sense. It also gives them practice converting among the different representations of a single rational number.
In this Math Shorts video, learn how to solve problems that involve …
In this Math Shorts video, learn how to solve problems that involve finding unknown angles of various types. In the accompanying classroom activity, students first review supplementary, complementary, vertical, and adjacent angles and then watch the video. Finally, students apply what they’ve learned by writing and solving equations that involve angle measurement, using algebraic notation to represent relationships among angles. To get the most from the lesson, students should be comfortable solving equations in the form ax = b.

In this animated Math Shorts video, see the two-dimensional figures that result from slicing solid three-dimensional figures in plane sections of cylinders and right rectangular pyramids. In the accompanying classroom activity, students create and slice clay figures and then describe the resulting shapes.

"When will I ever use this?" This is a question that is asked in a math class a lot. In this lesson, students research a math topic that is found in the real world. They use iMovie or Keynote to create a presentation with their findings. Image credit: "story" by rossyyume, CC BY-NC-ND 2.0 , from Flickr
