Teachers need an easy, one stop shop, to find lessons to make learning fun Lessons found within Move Learning are aligned with the Common Core State Standards for K-8, and have been developed by experience teachers and kinesthetic experts. Each lesson is accompanied by a short video demonstrating the activity, so you can see and feel how the lesson might work in your classroom. Finally, the series of lessons is packaged into an easy to use K-8 kit, allowing teachers to scaffold student learning.

Students will explore the concept of two-digit numbers by moving their bodies to represent either the tens or ones place. They will use their bodies to compare 2 two-digit numbers, using the symbols <,=,> to compare different values.

Pearl Diver is a fun, interactive web-based game and app for iPad and iPhone. Players learn the number line while diving for pearls amidst shipwrecks and sunken ruins. This learning game addresses standard mathematic concepts included in the current Common Core curriculum such as:
-understanding numbers, ways of representing numbers, and number systems
-understanding and representing commonly used fractions
-understanding fractions as part of unit wholes and as locations on number lines
-comparing and ordering fractions, and finding their approximate locations on the number line
Pearl Diver is supported by supplementary materials including teacher’s guide, learner’s guide, “Teaching With Pearl Diver” video, and printable resources. It is available in English and Spanish. This game is available free on the Apple App Store.
This project was sponsored by NSF and developed by the Learning Games Lab in collaboration with researchers and mathematicians in the College of Education and College of Arts and Sciences at New Mexico State University.

Meet the PenPals helps students think critically and share information about people in different communities around the world.In this class activity, students will learn:1. How to summarize relevant information2. How to share information with a group3. Students will learn how communities around the world are both similar and differentThis activity will help students achieve the following objectives:- Students will practice speaking and listening skills in an authentic way- Students will have fun learning about people around the worldStandard Alignment:CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.SL.1CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.SL.5CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.L.1CCSS.ELA-LITERACY.CCRA.L.2

This document describes a series of lessons in the Social Sciences, all of which are tied to the exploration of the United Nations Universal Declaration of Human Rights (UDHR) as a Primary Source Document. They are designed to be given to 9th or 10th grade students in a World History, Cultural Geography, or similar social science class. They are specifically designed to teach the Common Core Standards for Literacy in the Social Sciences, and to engage higher order thinking skills.

This is the Project MathTalk homepage that has videos on the following topics: Parabolas, Proportions, Algebraic Expressions, Exponentials, Logarithms, Binomials, Trigonometry, and more.  Over 400 FREE, short, online videos that feature students working on mathematics problems and resolving their struggles through conversation. The instructional approach to the videos draws on evidence-based practices from the latest research in mathematics education. Engaging with the videos enables learners to explore conceptually rich mathematics problems by watching other students talk about math problems via an accessible online platform. The site also contains useful materials for teachers, researchers, and teacher educators. 

Students will analyze ratios and use proportions to solve problems using a cooperative, kinesthetic activity in which they will create “human ratios.” Students will apply proportional reasoning to demonstrate application of a multiplicative situation by using cross products to solving proportions.

Students will analyze ratios and use proportions to solve problems using a cooperative, kinesthetic activity in which they will create “human ratios.” Students will use ratios to compare two quantities, then solve problems cooperatively by demonstrating how proportions are written to show equivalent ratios.

Explore Algebraic Expressions in this free video unit. It is comprised of 6 lessons with 4-7 short videos in each lesson. Featuring the reasoning of Grade 9 students, the unit explores how to generalize arithmetic to algebra and relate algebraic symbols to their meaning in context. The videos provide a foundation for the Common Core State Standards about equivalent forms of functional relationships. Showing these videos is great for helping students develop meaning for algebraic expressions beyond symbol manuipulation. 

Explore Binomials in this free video unit. It is comprised of 6 lessons with 7-8 short videos in each lesson. Featuring the reasoning of Grade 10 students, the unit moves beyond the procedure of FOIL by exploring the “why” behind multiplication of binomials. The videos provide a foundation for the Common Core State Standards about performing operations on polynomials. Showing these videos can help students become more comfortable operating binomials by grounding the operations in real-world contexts. 

Explore Exponentials in this free video unit. It is comprised of 7 lessons with 4-7 short videos in each lesson. Featuring the reasoning of Grade 8 students, the unit explores generalizing and graphing exponential functions through the use of a dynamic applet. Show these videos to help students visualize exponential growth in a real-world context and make sense of fractional exponents. 

Explore Logarithms in this free video unit. It is comprised of 6 lessons with 4-7 short videos in each lesson. Featuring the reasoning of Grade 8 students, the unit explores exponential and logarithmic properties and their relationship. The videos provide a foundation for the Common Core State Standards about understanding the inverse relationship between exponents and logarithms. Showing these videos may help teachers that want to help students move fluently between exponential and logarithmic expressions.  

Explore Proportions in this free video unit. It is comprised of 7 lessons with 4-6 short videos in each lesson. Featuring the reasoning of Grade 6 students, the unit explores how to form and iterate ratios through the use of a dynamic applet. The videos provide a foundation for the Common Core State Standards about using ratios and rates to solve math problems. Showing these videos are helpful for teachers who want to move students from reasoning additively to forming multiplicative comparisons. 

Explore Trigonometry in this free video unit. It is comprised of 8 lessons with 4-6 short videos in each lesson. Featuring the reasoning of Grade 11 students, the unit explores explores the concepts of angle measure and the sine function. The videos provide a foundation for the Common Core State Standard covering trigonometric concepts. Show these videos to help students build intuition for difficult trigonometric ideas, like moving fluidly between angles and radians and using trigonometric functions to model real world data.
