Students have the opportunity to create and interpret data from simple daily questions.

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.

The Science of Reading has identified features of effective instruction that work in combination and are the basis of high-quality reading instruction for all students. This PDF provides an overview and characteristics of each feature of effective reading instruction, including a scope and sequence, systematic instruction, explicit, scaffolded, and differentiated instruction. These evidence-based features work together to form the essentials of reading success.

This lesson includes a video lesson I did with my Secondary 3 Honors class that is a pre-lesson to graphing rational functions. In this video, we identify the horizontal and vertical asymptotes, holes, domain and range, and the x and y intercepts of rational functions.  There is guided notes, a homework assignment, and a bell quiz also attached.

This is a lesson plan that helps students identify the features of rational functions before they graph the rational functions.  They will identify the holes, horizontal and vertical asymptotes, domain and range, and the x and y intercepts.

Students will comprehend the role of the Federal Reserve and gain an understanding of fiscal and monetary policies.
