3-5, 6-8
Develop number sense through activities involving collection,
representation, and analysis of data.
Pre-K-2, 3-5, 6-8
Participate in activities to analyze information represented
graphically.
Pre-K-2, 3-5, 6-8
Focus
on patterns and relations
that can be developed from the exploration of balance, mass, length of
the mass arm, and the position of the fulcrum.
6-8, 9-12
In this lesson,
students explore the concept of genetics and inheritance. The lesson focuses on
sickle cell anemia, a genetic disease that is dependent on a recessive
trait. Students will perform data collection and analysis of the probability
of a child of two sickle trait parents inheriting sickle cell anemia. To do
this, they play a game that models how the inheritance of a disease works from
parents’ genes. Later, students construct family trees with probability to
determine the genotypes of family members.
6-8
Create
a shape sorter and consider all possible moves that will return a shape to its
original position.6-8
Determine
the ratio of circumference to diameter, and explore the meaning of π. 6-8
Us
e
the area formula for a rectangle to discover the area formulas for triangles,
parallelograms, and trapezoids. 6-8
Use
pattern recognition to determine the length of a diagonal of a square, and attempt to discover the Pythagorean Theorem.
6-8, 9-12
In this unit, students will investigate a relationship
between recursive functions and exponential functions.
6-8
Use
a pan balance to study equality, order of operations, numerical and variable
expressions, and other key algebraic concepts.
