A comprehensive lesson on identifying and combining like terms, focusing on visual grouping and handling positive and negative coefficients through scaffolded practice.
A hands-on project exploration where 8th-grade students investigate the geometric relationships between congruent and similar shapes through creative tasks and real-world applications.
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.
This lesson introduces students to the key features of quadratic functions using a structured graphic organizer. Students will identify and calculate the vertex, axis of symmetry, and intercepts to better understand the behavior of parabolas.
A 7th-grade math lesson that uses a road trip scenario from Indianapolis to the Grand Canyon to explore unit rates, graphing proportional relationships, and solving equations. Students will plan routes, calculate fuel costs, and interpret travel graphs.
A comprehensive review of 7th-grade proportionality concepts, including unit rates, solving proportions, slope, and graphing, designed with moderate support scaffolds.
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.
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.
A basketball-themed lesson for 8th grade students covering the product, quotient, and power rules of exponents with both numbers and variables. The lesson includes instructional slides, guided notes, and differentiated practice.
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 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.
