This lesson can be used to introduce students to the concept of different map projections that they might encounter throughout the year. It helps them to understand that there are many different ways to view the world and that certain views give them different information.
Description Subject: General MusicGrade: 1st grade, 2nd gradeOverview: Students will explore dynamics in music through listening, singing, and moving.Standards: South Carolina College- and Career-Ready Standards for General Music ProficiencyAnchor Standard 6: I can analyze music.Benchmark GM.R NM.6- I can identify the elements of music.Indicator- GM.R NM 6.1- I can identify changes in dynamics, tempo, and rhythm.Material type: Lesson plan, activity/lab, assessment, rubric
This lesson is designed for elementary teachers &/or elementary teacher candidates to explore elementary math standards, especially focusing on the shifts in math (focus, coherence, & rigor).
Students explore expressive qualities in music through listening, singing, and moving.
This simulation allows you to use a slider to see how positive and negative integers add on a number line.
Students create movements to represent long and short rhythmic patterns and compose patterns using non-traditional notation.
Students will explore the concepts of place value using their bodies as tools. They will time themselves performing various kinesthetic tasks like jumping jacks and sit ups and use the numbers that they record from these activities in their exploration. Working in groups, they will practice adding and subtracting and comparing numbers. They will also come up with creative ways to represent numbers using the properties of operation and the rules of place value.
Students explore steady beat and instruments of the percussion family.
This is a 10 slide Soft Chalk presentation that includes:
Classify Triangle by Angles
Classify Triangles by Sides
Triangle Sum Theorem
Isosceles Triangles Theorem
Pythagorean Theorem
Tan Ratio
This lesson will teach you the difference between different investments, what they are and the risk involved with each.
Students listen to and describe sounds.
Exploring Clips!Directions:Use the steps below to create a video while learning how to use the app Clips.
In this task students prove that linear functions grow by equal differences over equal intervals, and that exponential functions grow by equal factors over equal intervals.
This problem illustrates how an exponentially increasing quantity eventually surpasses a linearly increasing quantity.
We learn about facts and opinions in elementary school. As we get older, however, sometimes the lines get blurred. For example, “I don’t like mayonnaise” is a fact. My opinion is that mayonnaise is gross. When developing an effective argument, it is important to know the difference between a fact, an opinion, and what’s just fiction (made up/fake). In this seminar, you will refresh your working knowledge of facts and opinions and, more importantly, understand their impact in written and spoken arguments.StandardsCC.1.2.9-10.H: Delineate and evaluate the argument and specific claims in a text, assessing the validity of reasoning and relevance of evidence.CC.1.4.9-10.C: Develop and analyze the topic with relevant, well-chosen, and sufficient facts, extended definitions, concrete details, quotations, or other information and examples appropriate to the audience’s knowledge of the topic; include graphics and multimedia when useful to aiding comprehension.CC.1.4.9-10.G: Write arguments to support claims in an analysis of substantive topics.
In 2016, Oxford Dictionaries chose "post-truth" as the word of the year. As literacy has shifted from published hardcopy to an online landscape, it is more important than ever to engage and empower students in navigating the complicated battleground of fake news verses responsible, fact-based news. In this multi-day lesson, students will 1) examine terms associated with “fake news” and evaluate sources for their reliability and authenticity, and 2) develop a set of norms for responsible use of online news sources that spans academic and personal interaction with media.Cover image: "Fake news" by pixel2013 from Pixabay.com
Students will be finding the Greatest Common Factor (GCF) of polynomial expressions and factoring Difference of Squares.
In this seminar you will learn how to factor polynomials by looking for a common factor. You will apply the concepts of factoring integers, as well as factoring monomials and looking for the greatest common factor among terms. The techniques learned in this seminar will allow you to factor polynomials with multiple terms, and find solutions using factoring.StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.3Extend the knowledge of arithmetic operations and apply to polynomialsCC.2.2.HS.D.6Extend the knowledge of rational functions to rewrite in equivalent forms
What factors impact demand and supply? This lesson gives an overview of different factors that impact demand and supply. There is also a practice assignment included at the end.
In this lesson designed to enhance literacy skills, students explore brain injuries called concussions: what they are, how they occur, the challenges in diagnosing them, and ways to protect yourself from them.
