This collection of six images captures the magnificence of human development -- the transformation from baby to woman.

This video guides you on an activity to introduce your students to spiders and spiderwebs. This is for K-2 students.

This video guides you on an activity to get your students outside and excited about Life Science.

This video guides you on a Life Science activity. This video is for K-2 students.

This video guides you on an activity to get your students outside and excited about Life Science. This activity is good for Kindergarten through 2nd grade.

This task is designed to make students think about the meaning of the quantities presented in the context and choose which ones are appropriate for the two different constraints presented. In particular, note that the purpose of the task is to have students generate the constraint equations for each part (though the problem statements avoid using this particular terminology), and not to have students solve said equations.

The Growth Mindset Activities are designed to help your students build growth mindsets and develop learning strategies to start the school year strong. Developed in partnership with PERTS, a Stanford center that builds on the research done by Carol Dweck, the mindset activities are fun and age appropriate, providing a structured way for students to explore the science behind the idea that 'You can learn anything'

Students will answer opinion questions that will segue into a Growth Mindset article. Then, students will be able to create a poster that has a quote, analysis, and a symbol of the growth mindset.

Khan Academy and PERTS, Stanford University’s applied research center on academic mindsets, created this lesson together in order to provide a few activities to introduce students to the concept order to provide a few activities to introduce students to the concept that intelligence can be developed. Feel free to adapt and edit these activities below to meet the needs of your classroom!

Intro to Growth Mindset--with Total Physical Response, chants, call and response, Think Pair Share, and Power Point

This PE Game is one of many quick and easy physical education games that teachers can use in their own PE class. It's all about the best games for exercise, skills, activities, games, learning, fitness, and FUN. Simple school games in just minutes. This is another true winner of a game (awesome idea thanks to David Isenberg). This one is cross-curricular, or also AKA literacy/numeracy.

This video segment explores how one marine biologist used the scientific process to discover how whales hear.

This problem asks the students to represent a sequence of operations using an expression and then to write and solve simple equations. The problem is posed as a game and allows the students to visualize mathematical operations. It would make sense to actually play a similar game in pairs first and then ask the students to record the operations to figure out each other's numbers.

This video lesson uses the technique of induction to show students how to analyze a seemingly random occurrence in order to understand it through the development of a mathematical model. Using the medium of a simple game, Dr. Lodhi demonstrates how students can first apply the 'rules' to small examples of the game and then, through careful observation, can begin to see the emergence of a possible pattern. Students will learn that they can move from observing a pattern to proving that their observation is correct by the development of a mathematical model. Dr. Lodhi provides a second game for students in the Teacher Guide downloadable on this page. There are no prerequisites for this lesson and needed materials include only a blackboard and objects of two different varieties - such as plain and striped balls, apples and oranges, etc. The lesson can be completed in a 50-minute class period.

This marbel counting iteration of greater than, less than, and equal to with a specific "target number" help strengthen the concept for students.

In this activity, students explore number decomposition and the powers of two. They play a number guessing game, and by the presence or absence of the secret number on each of six cards, the number can be found. An applet has the computer play the trick with the learner. The Teachers' Notes page offers rationale, suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, and ideas for support and extension.

The purpose of this document is to provide guidance for all stakeholders around the idea of mathematics pathway acceleration. Acceleration deserves thoughtful attention to ensure that students are challenged and that they are mastering the full range of mathematical content and skills, without omitting critical standards. Acceleration is defined as moving at a faster rate through a defined mathematics pathway than grade level peers. Mathematics pathways are a set of courses designed to prepare students for post-secondary success.
