Pre-K-2
Explore four models of addition (counting,
number line, sets, and balanced equations) using dominoes.
Pre-K-2
Explore five models of subtraction (counting,
sets, number line, balanced equations, and inverse of addition) using
connecting cubes.
Pre-K-2
Use buttons to explore logical and numerical
relationships.
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.

Pre-K-2
Work in groups to share ideas.
Pre-K-2
