A hands-on geometry lesson exploring how scaling the linear dimensions of 3D solids by a scale factor k impacts their total surface area (by k²) and volume (by k³). Features interactive model-scaling examples, a vocabulary challenge, and guided practice.
A collection of high-interest, independent math challenges for early finishers, covering Algebraic Expressions, Probability & Statistics, and Ratios & Proportions. Features creative projects, real-world applications, logic puzzles, and peer-teaching activities.
A middle school algebraic modeling lesson. Students use the distributive property and combine like terms to simplify expressions inspired by real-world gears, soccer bundles, customized sneakers, gaming loot packages, and dirt bike maintenance packs.
A retro-arcade themed lesson on mean, median, mode, and range modified for IEP students. Features simplified definition-focused questions, single-digit numbers with visual counters, and multiple-choice options.
A beginner-friendly algebra lesson focused on translating word sentences into single-variable equations and solving them. Students learn to decode mathematical language and apply inverse operations using only positive whole numbers.
A rigorous STEM project combining structural engineering with advanced mathematics. Students design, budget, build, and test spaghetti bridges using ratios, proportions, cost-efficiency metrics, quadratic modeling, and catenary curves.
An 8th-grade Algebra lesson introducing exponential growth. Students investigate linear vs. exponential growth models by examining the tragic 1924 history of Calvin Coolidge Jr.'s fatal bacterial infection and how the exponential growth of Penicillium mold led to the discovery of life-saving penicillin.
An assessment aligned with ACT CCRS WME 402 focusing on two-step and three-step word problems involving fractions and percents. Students solve practical business and kitchen problems for a boutique bakery.
