A McTrip Back In Time

Get three planes to line up safely. Individuals work through a set of problems to eliminate spacing conflicts between three airplanes in flight. The pupils use their knowledge to change the airplanes' speed or route to meet a...

Keep the planes from crashing. Pupils work with three airplanes and change their flight paths to keep them at a safe distance from each other. Individuals work through three problems in the third interactive in a set of six with...

It's amazing how much kids change from the beginning of the year to the end. Create a written account of their growth with a fun worksheet that involves children recording information about themselves at two points during the school...

What do you do to change arrival times of airplanes when a different route is not available? The fifth interactive in a series of six presents problems where pupils must find solutions to conflicts of safety rules. They must decide how...

Fall back and slow down. The fourth lesson in a six-part series on air traffic control leads the class to find the difference in distance traveled based upon the difference in speed. Pupils work through a problem related to walking...

Learners view a video clip on time travel. They work together to complete a worksheet on measuring time. They discuss the different perceptions of time.

No need to travel ... the lesson will come to you! A well-designed lesson begins by describing the rate of change of a distance-time graph highlighting areas of constant, increasing, and decreasing speed. The video instructor then shows...

Sixth graders create/use spreadsheets to solve real-world problems, explore patterns, make predictions, select/explain most appropriate types of graph to display data, use information to create product, and have basic understanding of...

Nine questions—multiple choice and fill in the blank—challenge mathematicians to solve money word problems. Looking closely at prices, scholars use a formula to identify percent increases and decreases based on an original and new price....
