Watch a video of a first grader reading correctly, smoothly, and at a natural speed.
Watch a video of a second grader fluently reading. She reads smoothly, at a natural speed, and with expression.
This task asks students to write a proof that applies the properties of parallel lines and congruent triangles to prove a parallelogram property. It can be used in the classroom as an individual, small group, or whole-group practice problem or as an assessment question. More examples of its use in the classroom can be found in the "Public Remarks" section below. Illustrative Mathematics provides this summary: "This is a reasonably direct task aimed at having students use previously-derived results to learn new facts about parallelograms, as opposed to deriving them from first principles. The solution provided (among other possibilities) uses the SAS triangle congruence theorem, and the fact that opposite sides of parallelograms are congruent."

Find out what happened to our greedy pup in The Dog and the Bone, the latest episode of YourClassical Storytime, featuring music by Edward Elgar and original illustrations by Nancy Carlson.
Dogs: Standard 8.SP.2 - Know that straight lines are widely used to model relationships between two quantitative variables. For scatter plots that suggest a linear association, informally fit a straight line, and informally assess the model fit by judging the closeness of the data points to the line.
This formative assessment exemplar was created by a team of Utah educators to be used as a resource in the classroom. It was reviewed for appropriateness by a Bias and Sensitivity/Special Education team and by state mathematics leaders. While no assessment is perfect, it is intended to be used as a formative tool that enables teachers to obtain evidence of student learning, identify assets and gaps in that learning, and adjust instruction for the two dimensions that are important for mathematical learning experiences (i.e., Standards for Mathematical Practice, Major Work of the Grade).
Oral History Interviews that bring students together with veterans help to foster empathy and make history come alive. This lessons offers a step-by-step guide to doing an oral history project with Vietnam War Veterans.
Students will learn that there are rules to be followed or jobs to be done in the classroom. Students will also learn how to listen and speak to others.
