A Powerpoint guided lesson that uses the Great Salt Lake Also addresses standard UT.SEEd.6.4.3 (April Mitchell)

This activity helps students become familiar with positional words and develop systematic thinking. Students use the clues provided to arrange six colored squares in an array, either on paper or with the interactive Flash applet that is provided. The Teachers' Notes page includes suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, ideas for extension and support and a printable sheet (doc). Students may be asked to create a similar problem for others to solve.

This activity allows students to explore reflective symmetry. They are asked to color a given arrangement of triangles in symmetric patterns using specific numbers of colors. The Teachers' Notes page includes suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, ideas for extension and support, and printable sheets

This may be a helpful resource to support teachers in developing artifacts of learning about human reproductive anatomy and physiology.

This lesson is one that is used as part of the "Three Worlds Meet" Unit for 8th grade U.S. History.  Other parts of this unit include reasons for European Exploration and Consequences of European Exploration.The lesson plan includes lecture notes on the Columbian Exchange.  There are links to the guided notes and Google Slides Presentation.  For a more in depth lesson, the teacher can also use some video clips that have been linked here. The assessment of this lesson is an activity where students will analyze a favorite recipe based on their knowledge of the Columbian Exchange. ImageColumbian Exchange Lesson © 2024 by Cindy Whitaker is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 

In this interactive lesson supporting literacy skills in U.S. history, students watch video dramatizations that tell the story of the Spanish explorers who arrived in the Americas with Columbus and introduced European, African, and Asian plants and animals to the Western Hemisphere. Students explore how the Columbian Exchange impacted life on both sides of the Atlantic. During this process, they read informational text, learn and practice vocabulary words, and explore content through videos and engagement activities.

Watch the ZOOM cast find out how many balloons filled with air and then with water are required to support the weight of a cast member.

In this video segment, members of the ZOOM cast experiment by bending and folding sheets of paper into various shapes to see which shape will support the weight of a heavy book.

In this video segment from ZOOM, Hillary, from Randolph, MA, takes us on a tour of the columns in her neighborhood.

This classroom activity for high school students uses a collection of Hubble Space Telescope images of galaxies in the Coma Cluster. Students study galaxy classification and the evolution of galaxies in dense clustered environments.

Open Middle provides math problems that have a closed beginning, a closed end, and an open middle. This means that there are multiple ways to approach and ultimately solve the problems. Open middle problems generally require a higher Depth of Knowledge than most problems that assess procedural and conceptual understanding.

This course analyzes combinatorial problems and methods for their solution. Topics include: enumeration, generating functions, recurrence relations, construction of bijections, introduction to graph theory, network algorithms, and extremal combinatorics.

Thorough treatment of linear programming and combinatorial optimization. Topics include network flow, matching theory, matroid optimization, and approximation algorithms for NP-hard problems. 18.310 helpful but not required.

Content varies from year to year. An introduction to some of the major topics of present day combinatorics, in particular enumeration, partially ordered sets, and generating functions. This is a graduate-level course in combinatorial theory. The content varies year to year, according to the interests of the instructor and the students. The topic of this course is hyperplane arrangements, including background material from the theory of posets and matroids.

Content varies from year to year. An introduction to some of the major topics of present day combinatorics, in particular enumeration, partially ordered sets, and generating functions. This course serves as an introduction to major topics of modern enumerative and algebraic combinatorics with emphasis on partition identities, young tableaux bijections, spanning trees in graphs, and random generation of combinatorial objects. There is some discussion of various applications and connections to other fields.

In this lesson, students will first be introduced to adding two constant functions graphically to develop an understanding of how to add two functions together.  Next students will add a constant function to a linear function and discover how that translates the graph of the linear function.  Students will also begin building the connection between the graphical sums and algebraic sums.  Students will be exposed to adding two linear functions together graphically before function notation is introduced.  Students will also be exposed to adding a constant and exponential function together as exponential functions are a key function type in Secondary Math 1.   Lastly, students will be challenged with adding a linear function and quadratic function together.  Students will make the connection that adding a linear function and quadratic function together will result in a quadratic function.

The primary purpose of this problem is to rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms to exhibit different aspects of the expression, in the context of a relevant real-world context (the fuel efficiency of of a car).

The primary purpose of this problem is to rewrite simple rational expressions in different forms to exhibit different aspects of the expression, in the context of a relevant real-world context (the fuel efficiency of of a car). Indeed, the given form of the combined fuel economy computation is useful for direct calculation, but if asked for an approximation, is not particularly helpful.
