Probability Review
Learners engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concepts related to probability. They review the key properties of statistics involved in the measurement of probability that includes mean, median, and mode. The lesson includes...
Curated OER
Rules of Exponents
Young scholars solve problems involving exponents. Through a teacher led discussion, students explore the rules of exponents and create cards with "x's" on them. Given a division problem, young scholars lay out "x's" to represent the...

A Watershed Monitoring Module
Students explore the relevance of water quality monitoring in relation to a local wetland ecosystem. They conduct standard water quality tests using wet tests and CBL calculators and probes. Student record and interpret the results.
Curated OER
The Mathematics of Space and Place
Pupils investigate the measurements and geometry of the school grounds. They conduct inquiry while measuring the campus and some of the city blocks. Then students draw a map to scale and categorize property types using a pie graph.
