This task provides a context for some of the questions asked in "6.NS Multiples and Common Multiples." A scaffolded version of this task could be adapted into a teaching task that could help motivate the need for the concept of a common multiple.

This lesson plan is intended to encourage learners to integrate the visual arts with science and appreciate nature. Students will create a round or square stepping stone using colored glass pieces with a mortar and sand mixture.

The purpose of this task is to give students practice working the formulas for the volume of cylinders, cones and spheres, in an engaging context that provides and opportunity to attach meaning to the answers.

This video lesson shows students that math can play a role in understanding how an infectious disease spreads and how it can be controlled. During this lesson, students will see and use both deterministic and probabilistic models and will learn by doing through role-playing exercises. The primary exercises between video segments of this lesson are class-intensive simulation games in which members of the class 'infect' each other under alternative math modeling assumptions about disease progression. Also there is an occasional class discussion and local discussion with nearby classmates.

This is a teacher-created fluency passage to help with reading fluency. The lines are numbered with the word count and there is a scoring sheet attached. The topic is Geography.

In this lesson, students with fluency disorders will listen to 3 podcasts chosen from a curated list about fluency disorders and write a reflection based on guiding reflection questions. Photo by Omar Lopez on Unsplash

This one-pager provides a way for your child to monitor his or her reading accuracy, rate, expression, and punctuation.

Students will design and build a machine to lift "barrels" of volatile chemicals from a "dangerous" spill area to a "safe" area.

This simulator allows you to reshape pipes and observe changes in fluid flow speed, providing a hands-on way to understand fluid dynamics.

Explore pressure in the atmosphere and underwater. Reshape a pipe to see how it changes fluid flow speed. Experiment with a leaky water tower to see how the height and water level determine the water trajectory.

This is a new version of liquid simulation sandbox, in which you can create water, oil and foam, add pipes and sewers, draw walls and air emitters. A new Grid function is added for drawing straight lines. The maximum number of particles (drops) is 5000. It is based on smoothed particle hydrodynamics (SPH) - Langrangian method of fluid simulation. This simulation is quite process-intense, sometimes it helps when you close other tabs in a browser.

The purpose of this problem is to have students compose functions using tables of values only.

The purpose of this problem is to have students compose functions using tables of values only. Students are asked to consider the meaning of the composition of functions to solidify the concept that the domain of g contains the range of f.

In this problem students study motion along a path and the properties of a parallelogram. Students must navigate back to a starting point after traveling three legs in cardinal directions on a compass. Ideas for implementation, extension and support are included.

The author describes an eighth-grade language unit that helps students understand the value of dialects and standardized English.

Complete this focused inquiry and answer the compelling question: Should All Americans Celebrate Emancipation? After examining sources, which includes videos from Ken Burns UNUM, students will analyze the effects of the Emancipation Proclamation and construct a claim answering the compelling question.

Complete this focused inquiry and answer the compelling question: Was the Homestead Act a Successful Government Policy for All Americans? After examining sources, which includes a video from this Ken Burns UNUM Migration and Settlement playlist, students will analyze the success of the Homestead Act and construct a claim answering the compelling question.

This article presents an overview of news and information presentations around the issue of polar bears drowning at sea due to melting polar ice, and how students might hone their news and information analysis skills taking into account media bias.

In this weather-related activity, learners make a portable cloud in a bottle. Learners discover that clouds form when invisible water vapor in the air is cooled enough to form tiny droplets of liquid water. You an accomplish the same cooling effect by rapidly expanding air in a jar using a wide-mouth jar, rubber glove, matches, and tap water. This activity can be conducted as a demonstration or by learners with adult supervision.
