Students use data from the Rossi X-ray Tiiming Explorer (RXTE) satellite to analyze and graph.

Third graders model the tag and recapture of bears and use proportions to estimate the population of the bears in their forest. This is a statistical sampling method used by scientists and naturalists to determine population numbers.

Students complete a variety of bear-related activities. They sort and graph teddy bears, distinguish between real and non-real bears and research bear life cycles and habitats.

Eighth graders create their own cane flute. They use a model flute to gain the correct measurements and use the scientific method to construct the flute to have sound quality and pitch accuracy.

Students practice simple addition and subtraction. They identify relationships among whole numbers.

Students sort Lego Duplo pieces after determining the attributes to classify them by. They work in pairs to sort a group of Duplo pieces and explain their process to others.

Sixth graders solve problems involving money at learning situations. They solve the problems and determine if there is a solution, one solution, or many solutions. They write problems that have more than one solution and incorporate...

Seventh graders develop an examineing of absolute value through real world situations. They develop an examineing of when absolute value can be used in a given situation.

Students explain face, place and total value of numbers as well as solve three-digit subtraction problems. Before trying answer the problem Students must be able to examine that the same digit is used to represent different amounts.

Students explore the problem of percentages. Students find a given fraction or percentage of a quantity. Students devise and use problem solving strategies on problems explored.
