Find the faster rate. The resource tasks the class to compare proportional relationships represented in different ways. Pupils find the slope of the proportional relationships to determine the constant rates. They then analyze the...

Give your young scholars a chance to show what they've learned from the module. The last installment of a 21-part series is an end-of-module assessment task. It covers basic and conditional probabilities, expected value, and...

Encourage scholars to problem solve everyday frustrations using the STAR method. Using the acronym, learners remember to stop, think, act, and review. Participants begin with a math analogy in which they problem-solve to find the correct...

Set up your learners for success by requiring them to write goals at the beginning of the year. Pupils fill out their goals for math, reading, handwriting, science, social studies, and writing as well as goals for friend and family...

Gain insight into the type of learners that fill your classroom. An eight-question survey asks scholars questions about themselves. Using their color-coded answers, they conclude their degree of intelligence in multiple areas—music,...

Students select a favorite activity and list character traits from that activity to serve as indicators on various questions under review. Character traits included are honesty, compassion, strong work ethnic and respect for the...

Do animals breathe faster when given more oxygen or more carbon dioxide? Young scientists observe the respiration rates of locusts under a variety of gas concentrations to answer that very question. They collect data, analyze the...

Students consider gender equity in mathematics careers. Students will view 12 15 minute episodes on future math careers then discuss that particular career as well as how women have been treated in both traditional and non traditional...

Reach for the STARs! Using the resource, scholars review the STAR (Stop, Think, Act, Review) method and discuss how to use it to solve a math equation. Next, small groups collaborate to solve a common problem in the classroom using the...

Young scholars explore the concept of geometric patterns. They use a review of patterns with numbers for a warm-up activity.Then the teacher does examples with the students attempting to find the pattern.

An activity boosts self-management through goal setting and reflection. Scholars choose one goal they wish to obtain by the end of the week. Participants brainstorm ways to make their goal a reality then reflect on whether or not their...

Pupils survey patterns and relationships and then predict outcomes in real-world situations.

Students identify the needs of their community. In this communities lesson, students use a decision-making model worksheet to determine what community service project they should donate to. Students count the money they have to donate...

Pupils work together to decide where their donated money should go. They list the possible choices and evaluate what is most important to them. They must have a consensus before the money is donated.

Learning to support your opinions, debate, build arguments, and effectively respect another's point of view are vital skills. Learners work through a series of topics to practice discussion engagement and verbal communication.

Learners discuss their attitudes and feelings to discover possible ways to constructive respond to their resistance to learning academic concepts.

Students will use components to make a balanced decision. They will be able to rationalize their own decisions while understanding the perspectives of others. They will then develop criteria to quantify their decisions.
