A 45-minute introductory lesson on adding and subtracting fractions, progressing from common denominators to uncommon denominators using step-by-step writing frames to solidify the mathematical process.
A lesson focused on calculating area and perimeter within the context of designing and maintaining a community garden, covering formulas, missing sides, and word problems.
A hands-on geometry lesson focused on classifying triangles by side lengths (scalene, isosceles, equilateral) using geometric notation and measurements within an architectural drafting context.
A self-paced activity where students practice solving various types of binomial equations through a choice-based architecture theme. Includes step-by-step checklists to support diverse learners.
A high-intensity review lesson focused on comparing fractions using common numerators and common denominators, designed for rapid MCAS preparation.
An introductory lesson on exponents focusing on the relationship between repeated multiplication and exponential notation through a retro arcade theme.
A quick formative assessment focusing on foundational number sense, including negative numbers, decimals, and percentages within real-world shopping contexts.
An introductory lesson on the Order of Operations (PEMDAS) using a secret agent theme to engage students in solving mathematical 'missions'. Students will learn the hierarchy of operations and apply them to evaluate numerical expressions.
A quick assessment lesson on adding coins (up to $1) and bills (up to $20) within a fun bakery context.
A foundational lesson on long division, moving from 3-digit by 1-digit to 3-digit by 2-digit divisors using visual scaffolding and the DMSB mnemonic.
A comprehensive introduction to fundamental geometric terms and angle classifications, designed for Massachusetts MCAS preparation with high visual support.
A hands-on performance task where students apply rational number operations to plan a party budget. Students use visual graphic organizers to track spending, calculate totals, and ensure they stay within a set budget.
A real-world math performance task where students manage a bakery order, calculate costs, and stay within a budget. Designed with heavy scaffolding and visual support for special education students.
A foundational lesson introducing essential algebra vocabulary: variables, expressions, equations, and integers. Students will learn to distinguish between these terms and apply them to mathematical phrases.
A high-stakes escape room challenge where students solve PEMDAS expressions involving exponents to crack the vault code. Students act as digital detectives navigating four distinct security layers.
A lesson on dividing decimals by decimals for 5th and 6th-grade students, focusing on the strategy of moving the decimal point to create whole-number divisors. The lesson uses a 'Decimal Detectives' theme to make practice engaging and approachable for low achievers.
A hands-on lesson focusing on the transition from 2D nets to 3D prism constructions, specifically targeting rectangular and triangular prisms through visualization and drawing techniques.
A lesson on using the area model (partial products) to solve multiplication problems involving 1-digit and 2-digit numbers. Students will learn to decompose numbers by place value and use geometric diagrams to organize their work.
