Fourth graders gather climate data about cities from each of Missouri's five geographical regions and use technological tools to translate this data into graphs for further analysis and reflection.

In this vocabulary worksheet, students match the vocabulary word to its proper definition. They identify words such as symmetry, scale factor, coordinate plane, rotation, reflection, and translation.

Students research their family traditions. They select a tradition that has meaning to them and write about the traditions. They retell the story to a partner and add details. They write a draft of their story to a partner and...

Learners with sensory perception issues discover the properties of light through a series of excellent hands on activities. They look at beams of lights in a darkened room; use a kaleidoscope and optical illusions as they experience the...

Students compare/contrast paintings with similar subjects and themes. They discuss how a painting may relate to life experiences. Students draw animal families and compose a story about a painting by Gerome. They discuss zoos and...

In this function instructional activity, students map equations and identify three dominant characteristics. They evaluate functions of complex variables. This three-page instructional activity contains approximately ten problems.

In this tessellations and transformations activity, 10th graders solve 9 different problems that include various types of tessellations. First, they write examples from history of tessellations and name 3 artists. Then, students define...

Tenth graders recognize, perform and derive rules for basic transformations including translation, reflection and rotation. They also consider compositions, a combination of two or more basic transformations. Students explore both...

Fourth graders, using KidPix, use stamps and pencil tools to illustrate which pictures have symmetry. They add text boxes to explain their answers in math terms. Students practice skills in rotation, reflection, and translation on an...

Students develop codes to guide individual actions and responsibilities as members of the team. They explore memories, journal entries, etc. about about teamwork. Through prompting questions, they translate these into a draft behavior...

Students use translations, rotations, and reflections to create tessellations. They explore and construct several different types of tessellations including pure/semi-pure and non-regular polygon and "Escher-like" tessellations .

High schoolers research various Latin American countries and reflect on the different ethnic communities represented in that country and their contributions to the region. They make posters, perform skits and write letters about their...

Students listen to and use resources to translate an old Oneida story told in the Oneida language by an elder in the community. They then develop an illustrated slideshow of the story.
