Students explore dividing unit fractions by whole numbers and vice versa by portioning dough and serving individual slices.
Students master ratios and proportions by scaling recipes for a community feast, applying unit rates to calculate costs and manage kitchen logistics.
An introduction to basic probability using beaker volumes and colors. Students calculate the likelihood of specific events occurring in the lab.
Students explore mode and range by analyzing the frequency of control panel button presses. This lesson focuses on identifying the most common data point and the spread of the data.
Introduction to finding the mean and median using data from Dee Dee's disruptions in the laboratory. Students learn to calculate averages and identify the middle value in a set of data.
A project-based lesson where 6th-grade students apply decimal operations and percentage calculations to plan a week-long trip along the Texas Gulf Coast while staying within a strict budget.
Students step into the roles of carnival game designers to explore data analysis and statistics. They calculate theoretical probability, conduct trials to find experimental probability, and analyze their results in a festive, hands-on environment.
A hands-on lesson focusing on practical money skills: identifying the next dollar up for purchases and calculating change from $5 and $10 bills using a fun snack shack theme.
Students synthesize their knowledge of central tendency and probability to complete a final laboratory assessment.
Students use station rotations to explore probability and frequency through lab beaker measurements and control panel button analysis.
Students collect data on DeeDee's disruptions to learn and calculate the mean, median, and mode of a dataset.
A comprehensive evaluation tool for 7th-grade teachers to determine student readiness for 8th-grade Algebra 1 based on MCAS and iReady data.
A quick practice session for students to master area and perimeter of simple rectangles using a drafting-themed layout.
Students take on the role of landscape architects to design a community garden, applying their knowledge of area, perimeter, and symmetry with fractional dimensions.
In this lesson, students become packaging engineers for a modern logistics company. They apply 3D geometry concepts—specifically surface area and volume of rectangular prisms—to design efficient shipping containers that minimize material waste and maximize storage capacity.
A colorful, interactive introduction to basic statistics using the theme of a gumball machine. Students learn to collect data, calculate measures of central tendency, and determine probability through guided and independent practice.
Students apply multiplication strategies to determine ingredient amounts and calculate the area of rectangular baking sheets.
