This task is intended for instruction and to motivate the task Building a General Quadratic Function. This task assumes that the students are familiar with the process of completing the square.
This task is intended for instruction and to motivate "Building a general quadratic function.''
The focus of the Building and Writing Three-Digit Numbers intervention is the number of hundreds, tens, and ones that make a three-digit number. It has three phases. Phase 1 is an introduction to the use of place value charts, base ten blocks, and number cards. Phases 2 and 3 move from three-digit numbers that have zero tens and zero ones to all kinds of three-digit numbers.
This is the first of a series of tasks aiming at understanding the quadratic formula in a geometric way in terms of the graph of a quadratic function. Here the student works with an explicit function and studies the impact of scaling and linear change of variables.
This task applies reflections to a regular hexagon to construct a pattern of six hexagons enclosing a seventh: the focus of the task is on using the properties of reflections to deduce this seven hexagon pattern.
This task applies reflections to a regular octagon to construct a pattern of four octagons enclosing a quadrilateral: the focus of the task is on using the properties of reflections to deduce that the quadrilateral is actually a square.
How do you build a tunnel 32 miles long -- under water? This video segment adapted from Building Big, follows the construction of the Channel Tunnel (nicknamed "Chunnel"), the engineering wonder that connects England to France.
In this interactive lesson supporting literacy skills in U.S. history, students learn how the Erie Canal changed the U.S. economy and influenced settlement patterns in the west. Students explore the effects of the Erie Canal on New York City, New York State, and the entire United States. During this process, they read informational text, learn and practice vocabulary words, and explore content through videos and engagement activities.
This problem helps children begin to understand the various properties of common geometric solid shapes. It also promotes naming, discussion and experimentation concerning their features, and requires them to justify their ideas. It asks students to judge the stability of nine configurations made from six common solids. The Teachers' Notes page includes suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, ideas for extension and support, and printable sheets.
Apply coding knowledge in Python, a text-based programming language, through Minecraft Education to facilitate Python coding in the classroom with students.
Each student has emotions as complex and real as their supporting adults Ð but they donÕt always have the words to express and address those emotions. To support the entire student, educators must build a safe place and appropriate scaffolding to help students learn to talk about and take action for social and emotional wellbeing in the classroom.
This resource is a Social Studies student activity that utilizes Utah's Online Library resources - specifically, Gale's Research in Context Grades 6-8, Gale's Info Trac Student Edition, Gale's Student Resources in Context, and World Book Encyclopedia to help students learn about The Battle of Bull Run.
10 Questions Students Can Ask to Make Their Schools More Caring and Safe Places
For Middle and High School Students - handout
Understand what bullying is, how to help a peer or yourself. Understand some of the consequences that come with bullying.
In this video, students use role-playing scenarios to depict experiences with prejudice or name-calling and practice effective interventions to combat or stop the bullying or harassment. This process can be an effective tool to use with students in your own classroom and school. Please use the guidelines below and review the “Note of Caution” to ensure a positive and productive experience.
In this task students determine the number of hundreds, tens and ones that are necessary to write equations when some digits are provided. Students must, in some cases, decompose hundreds to tens and tens to ones.
When will objects float and when will they sink? Learn how buoyancy works with blocks. Arrows show the applied forces, and you can modify the properties of the blocks and the fluid.

As an assistant attorney general in the Civil Rights Division of the Department of Justice, Burke Marshall played a key role in the federal government's efforts to desegregate the South. Representing the presidential administrations of John F. Kennedy and Lyndon B. Johnson, Marshall mediated conflicts between civil rights protesters and southern white officials. In this interview, Marshall recalls the 1961 Freedom Rides and the 1962 desegregation of the University of Mississippi.
In this lesson, students will study the Supreme Court case Burwell v. Hobby Lobby (2013). They will examine the facts of the case and analyze the arguments made on both sides through primary source documents and preceding cases. They will then assess the majority and minority decisions for the case.
