Tasks designed to build conceptual understanding of algebraic expressions, equivalent equations, and the power of exponents through collaborative inquiry.
A lesson focused on factoring quadratic expressions of the form ax^2 + bx + c using the 'AC method' (splitting the middle term). Students will learn to break down complex trinomials into binomial factors through a systematic step-by-step process.
A final assessment of coordinate plane skills and line graph interpretation, alongside vocabulary review.
Constructing line graphs, interpreting data trends, and connecting data points to show change over time.
Introduction to the 4-quadrant coordinate plane, axes, origin, and plotting ordered pairs with a focus on 'exploring' a map.
A comprehensive guide for kindergarten teachers using the TERC Investigations 3 math curriculum, detailing every game and the necessary materials for all eight units.
A high-speed lesson focused on mental division strategies and rapid-fire calculation for dividing numbers up to 100 by single-digit divisors. Students will learn to 'split the loot' efficiently.
A high-energy lesson focused on mastering multiplication facts 4-12 to streamline the process of finding GCF and LCM. Students will use 'fact power' to unlock faster calculations.
A math lesson focused on solving one and two-step story problems involving whole number operations (addition, subtraction, multiplication, and division) within a bakery context.
Statistical thinking tasks centered on data distribution, measures of center (mean, median), and variability (IQR, MAD).
