Gender Equity in the Classroom

Learners perform data analysis and draw conclusions bound to stir lively debate in a statistical activity. Starting with data comparing men's and women's wages, the class performs two different kinds of regressions to determine trends....

Just when a young mathematician starts to feel comfortable turning word problems into linear equations, shake things up and throw inequalities in the mix. This excellent, instructive presentation takes the steps for solving an equality...

The example of two travelers meeting somewhere along the road has been a stereotypical joke about algebra as long as algebra has existed. Here in this detailed presentation, this old trope gets a careful and approachable treatment....

The use of manipulatives creates a playful atmosphere in your classroom. Using precreated disks, pupils translate verbal expressions into mathematical equations, offering a great way to practice the new vocabulary in a nonthreatening...

Explore the substitution property of equality with this video. The resource uses examples to define the property, showing how to replace a variable with a value. Use this to help struggling learners or as review for an upcoming test. A...

Pupils investigate gender bias in the work place.  In this secondary mathematics lesson, students gather research on the current statistics about a profession which focuses on the female//male ratios and the pay scale of the females...

It's the law—every action requires a reaction, no matter how small. Pupils experience two demonstrations of Newton's third law of motion as it relates to thrust in the 10th segment of a 22-part unit on flight. Using their mathematical...

Hands-on and real-world applications are great ways to teach mathematical concepts. Creative thinkers examine how ratios are used to create scale models of buildings and structures. They practice working with ratios by looking at a map...

Define rays and half planes, including the concepts of boundary lines and prerequisite knowledge of coordinate planes. Given linear inequalities in one and two variables, your class will compare the differences. They will also graph...
