This task gives students an opportunity to work with exponential functions in a real world context involving continuously compounded interest. They will study how the base of the exponential function impacts its growth rate and use logarithms to solve exponential equations.

Students discuss and compare differing versions of Little Red Riding Hood and other tales about wolves in cumulative read-aloud sessions and text set explorations.

The purpose of this task is for students to compare fractions using common numerators and common denominators and to recognize equivalent fractions.

In this interactive activity adapted from Anneberg Learner’s Teaching Math Grades 3–5, compare fractions on number lines to determine which class of students wins bubble-gum-blowing contests.

This task is meant to address a common error that students make, namely, that they represent fractions with different wholes when they need to compare them. This task is meant to generate classroom discussion related to comparing fractions. Particularly important is that students understand that when you compare fractions, you implicitly always have the same whole.

This task is appropriate for assessing student's understanding of differences of signed numbers. Because the task asks how many degrees the temperature drops, it is correct to say that "the temperature drops 61.5 degrees." However, some might think that the answer should be that the temperature is "changing -61.5" degrees. Having students write the answer in sentence form will allow teachers to interpret their response in a way that a purely numerical response would not.

The goal of this task is to use appropriate tools to compare graphs of several functions. In addition, students are asked to study the structure of the different expressions to explain why these functions grow as they do.

The purpose of this task is to foster a classroom discussion that will highlight the difference between multiplicative and additive reasoning.

The purpose of this task is to assess studentsŐ understanding of multiplicative and additive reasoning.

Students will use pictures of organisms and their offspring to compare inheritance between offspring of sexual reproduction and asexual.

This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to interpret exponential and linear functions.

TuvaLabs Data Stories provide resources for teachers to engage students in rich discourse about an interesting topic and then allows students to come to conclusions using mathematical reasoning and tools.

Students will compare data for two states using comparison symbols and both rounded and unrounded (exact) numbers. Students will then write their own question to compare the data.

In this lesson, students analyze similarities and differences among depictions of slavery in "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn", Frederick Douglass' "Narrative", and nineteenth century photographs of slaves. Students formulate their analysis of the role of art and fiction, as they attempt to reliably reflect social ills, in a final essay.

The purpose of this task is to generate a classroom discussion that helps students synthesize what they have learned about multiplication in previous grades.

The focus of the Comparing Quantities and Numbers up to Ten intervention has three phases. Phase 1: Use a matching strategy to compare groups of objects. Phase 2: Use a counting strategy to compare groups of objects. Phase 3: Compare written numbers 1 to 10.

This task can be used to either build or assess initial understandings related to rational approximations of irrational numbers.

The CyberSquad proves that the area of Hacker's land is equal to the area of Judge Trudy's land in this video segment from Cyberchase.

Looks at the development of reading motivation, engagement, and achievement by comparing struggling and advanced readers in each of these elements.
