Dan Meyer’s TED Talk: Math Class Needs a Makeover.
TPACK is a technology integration framework that identifies three types of knowledge instructors need to combine for successful edtech integration—technological, pedagogical, and content knowledge.
In this activity, learners explore center of gravity, or balance point, of stacked blocks. Simple wooden blocks can be stacked so that the top block extends completely past the end of the bottom block, seemingly in a dramatic defiance of gravity. A mathematical pattern can be noted in the stacking.
This article provides ideas, lessons and resources on how elementary teachers can integrate map skills, math, and art into lessons about the geography of the Arctic and Antarctica.
This learning video presents an introduction to graph theory through two fun, puzzle-like problems: ''The Seven Bridges of Konigsberg'' and ''The Chinese Postman Problem''. Any high school student in a college-preparatory math class should be able to participate in this lesson. Materials needed include: pen and paper for the students; if possible, printed-out copies of the graphs and image that are used in the module; and a blackboard or equivalent. During this video lesson, students will learn graph theory by finding a route through a city/town/village without crossing the same path twice. They will also learn to determine the length of the shortest route that covers all the roads in a city/town/village. To achieve these two learning objectives, they will use nodes and arcs to create a graph and represent a real problem.

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.

Dan Meyer explains the pedagogy and structure of implementing a 3 Act Task (a kind of structured inquiry).
This is a photo scavenger hunt activity/lesson to review and assess knowledge of three-dimensional shapes. Students will demonstrate the ability to identify, analyze, compare and sort (spheres, cones, cylinders and cubes), by taking pictures of 3D objects found around the classroom and making a collage.

Develop good habits by keeping track of projects and due dates using time management tools in Gmail.
In this Google Applied Digital Skills lesson, students will learn to use Google tools to track their progress for finding a job.
In this lesson, students will summarize the understanding of trigonometric functions by model periodic phenomena with specified amplitude, frequency, and midline through storytelling.
The Triple E Framework is a useful extension of previous technology integration frameworks like SAMR (Puentedura, 2012), TPACK (Thompson & Mishra, 2007), and TIM (University of Florida 2005), which focus guidance on how teachers should design learning.
