BASE-ic Space Travel
In this 3-day place-value lesson, upper-elementary kids investigate the base 5 and base 2 systems as an introduction to exponents and powers. They create a pocket chart to help ground their understanding of bases, exponents, and powers,...
Curated OER
Linear Approximation
Pupils practice examining the tangent to a function to estimate the value of the function near the point of tangency. They view errors associated with those approximations, determine overestimates and find intervals that guarantee a...
Curated OER
Numerical Analysis: Successive Intervals
In this successive interval worksheet, students find the approximation of a root, using the Bisection Algorithm. They identify intervals, and use algebraic manipulation to identify functions that have a fixed point.
Curated OER
Estimation, Sampling, and Beyond
Students examine an ISS EarthKAM image of farm land in Texas and New Mexico. They select sample region of image and count the number of fields in that region. They estimate how many fields are in the entire region.

Three Calculus Overview Problems
In this calculus overview worksheet, students: find the equation of a tangent line, curve sketch, and find limits. Students should have covered continuity as well.
Illustrative Mathematics
Estimating Square Roots
No calculators! Assure your learners that they can find the square root of a large number. All they need are two known squares close by and a table. Come up with an additional practice and your number crunchers will have it mastered in...
Curated OER
Math and Literature
Students listen to the reading of "The Button Box" and use buttons provided to tell a story about a chosen button, compare their own buttons to those in the reading. They estimate how many buttons are in a bag and sort buttons based on...
