A Tier 2 intervention lesson focusing on adding, subtracting, factoring, and expanding linear expressions using algebra tiles and properties of operations. Designed for small groups with scaffolded support.
A high-energy math simulation where students manage a large budget, navigate financial constraints, and handle unexpected 'life events' while shopping for their dream items.
A comprehensive project where students apply linear functions to model real-life savings goals for a startup business. Students will calculate startup costs, determine savings rates, and project their business launch date using algebraic models.
A hands-on geometry project where students apply similarity criteria (AA, SSS, SAS) to measure unreachable heights using shadow casting and mirror reflections. Students will perform outdoor measurements, calculate scale factors, and provide formal geometric proofs for their methods.
A project-based lesson where students design an infographic poster demonstrating their mastery of triangle similarity criteria and real-world proportional reasoning.
A math project where students analyze Olympic athlete performance and track difficulty using unit rates and slope concepts to determine who is the fastest and which courses are the steepest.
Students apply linear function concepts to model a real-world income and expense scenario. They will calculate rates of change, identify initial values, and visualize their budget through graphing.
A real-world project exploring linear functions through cell phone plans and career earnings. Students analyze slope as a rate of change and the y-intercept as a starting value.
A project-based lesson where students apply concepts of similarity, scale factor, and proportions to create a scale drawing or 3D model of a real-world object. Students move from mathematical practice to creative application.
A hands-on geometry project where students apply the properties of similar triangles to calculate the height of tall, unmeasurable objects using their shadows.
A real-world project-based learning unit where students apply the Pythagorean Theorem to urban planning, sports field design, and GPS navigation. Students act as urban developers and navigators to solve practical distance problems.
Students apply their knowledge of slope to design a roller coaster. They calculate the steepness of various drops and climbs, representing their findings through a technical blueprint and a visual infographic.
A comprehensive 90-minute lesson where students become 'Data Detectives' to investigate how outliers influence measures of center and variability, culminating in a collaborative poster session.
A focused lesson on the binomial distribution, covering the BINS criteria, identifying parameters, and calculating probabilities using digital spreadsheet tools.
A comprehensive unit review and summative assessment covering three key methods for solving quadratic equations: graphing, factoring, and the quadratic formula. Students practice identifying key features of parabolas, algebraic manipulation for factoring, and the step-by-step application of the quadratic formula.
A math-focused project where students step into the role of garden designers to plan a community space while mastering multi-step word problems, decimal operations, and the relationship between fractions and decimals.
A comprehensive workshop for Kindergarten parents and guardians focused on building positive math attitudes and supporting math learning at home through play and daily routines. Based on Stanford DREME research.
