3-5
Again using the E-Example simulation, students will model multiplication facts on the number line and compare various representations.
3-5
In this lesson, students model races in which runners start from various positions. They enter numbers in a table of values, model races on a coordinate grid, and compare the results. Students begin to develop an understanding of linear relationships.
3-5
Students generate and compare paths which model given problem situations on graphing grids.
6-8
In this lesson, students learn about the mechanics of the Electoral College and use data on population and electoral votes for each state. Students calculate the percentage of the Electoral College vote allocated to each state, and use mathematics to reflect on the differences. Several questions are provided to strengthen understanding of measures of central tendency and fluency with decimals and percents.
3-5, 6-8
In this lesson students will review plotting points and labeling axis. Students generate a set of random points all located within the first quadrant. Students will plot and connect the points and then create a short story that could describe the graph. Students must ensure that the graph is labeled correctly and that someone could recreate their graph from their story.
3-5
Students explore the importance of the side lengths of a triangle and when triangles can or cannot be constructed on the basis of these lengths.
3-5, 6-8
Students identify patterns in a geometrical figure (based on triangles) and build a foundation for the understanding of fractals.
3-5, 6-8
The rules of Krypto are amazingly simple — combine five numbers using
the standard arithmetic operations to create a target number. Finding a
solution to one of the more than 3 million possible combinations can be
quite a challenge, but students love it. And you’ll love that the game
helps to develop number sense, computational skill, and an
understanding of the order of operations.
3-5, 6-8
Using data from the Internet, students summarize information about party affiliation and ages at inauguration of Presidents of the United States in frequency tables and graphs. This leads to a discussion about categorical data (party affiliations) vs. numerical data (inauguration ages) and histograms vs bar graphs.
3-5, 6-8
Students hear geometry terminology around them every day. By playing the games in this lesson, students use their knowledge regarding regular and irregular polygons to explore the properties of the shapes and learn new vocabulary when identifying characteristics of shapes.
