STUDENT ACTIVITY - 3rd - GA/TXThis is a distance-learning lesson students can complete at home. Students will measure plants and create bar graphs to compare data to actual mature plant heights.This activity was created by Out Teach (out-teach.org), a nonprofit providing outdoor experiential learning to transform Science education for students in under-served communities.

Students will measure plants and create bar graphs to compare data to actual mature plant heights.

This seminar will allow you to solve a system of linear equations by graphing. It will help you to understand what it means when the lines in a system of equations are parallel, and also what it means for the graphs to be the same line. You will learn how to visually identify information about the system of equations simply by examining the graphs of the lines that make up the system.StandardsCC.2.2.HS.D.10Represent, solve, and interpret equations/inequalities and systems of equations/inequalities algebraically and graphically.

This resource is a series of guided lecture notes which cover topics from Statistics Using Technology 3rd edition, Kozak.These notes may be used in a lecture to follow along with Statistics Using Technology 3rd edition, Kozak.If you would like a copy of the notes completed, please reach out to Mike Rozinski at mrozinski@mohave.edu

This lesson walks students through finding guitar part cost and calculating board feet of a guitar body, neck, and fretboard.

A web page and interactive applet illustrating the properties of a hexagon (6 sided polygon). The applet shows a hexagon where the user can drag any vertex to reshape it. User can see that the interior and exterior angles are constant in a regular hexagon, but vary in an irregular version. Controls allow the display or hiding of the diagonals, and triangles within the hexagon. The web page lists the properties of a hexagon including interior angles, exterior angles, sum of exterior angles, area, number of diagonals and number of internal triangles. Links to pages with generalized properties of all polygons. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

Designed for upper elementary, but can be used at any age for a warm up or station activity. Can bedone in a regular classroom, physical education class or at home. Great fitness activity done with using only a deck of cards.

An interactive applet and associated web page that show the definition of a horizontal line in coordinate geometry. The applet has two points that the user can drag which define a line. The line flagged when it is horizontal (slope=0) and the equation of the line is shown. The grid, details and coordinates can be turned on and off. The applet can be printed exactly as it appears on the screen to make handouts. The web page has a discussion on how to test for horizontal, the line equation and has links to other pages relating to coordinate geometry. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

Students will construct CD hovercraft and apply Newton's laws of motion to make them work. They will also investigate how hovercraft reduce friction; learn how the technology is used in training astronauts for space missions; and design their own hovercraft competitions.

In this design challenge lesson, students examine their school food system and develop an investigation about food waste in order to know what should change.

What we like about this task

Mathematically:

Addresses standards: 4.OA.A, 4.NBT.B, 4.OA.A.3, 4.NBT.B.6, MP.1, and MP.6
Requires students to understand the meaning of the quotient and remainder in order to solve problems in a real-world context
Addresses content across two major clusters (4.OA.A and 4.NBT.B) within the grade, specifically 4.OA.A.3 and 4.NBT.B.6
Requires students to interpret what is being asked and perform extensive calculations (MP.1) accurately and efficiently (MP.6)
In the classroom:

Offers opportunities for students to use strategies based on place value, properties of operations, and/or the relationship between multiplication and division to solve division problems
Provides repeated practice of multi-digit division and can be easily altered to allow for repeated use throughout the year
Allows for small group, partner, or individual work

You are an employee of Green Valley Dairy and your job is to determine the mass of the company’s corn silage pile. Your boss knows that this pile is the limiting factor as to whether or not he can add animals to the herd. He is contemplating adding 500 head of cattle and needs to make sure there is enough feed in storage before they make the expansion...don’t mess up your measurements and calculations, as this is pivotal information.

Students measure the length of a pea pod and a carrot in non-standard vegetable units (a pea seed) and discuss the advantages and disadvantages of measuring using non-standard measures. Students then practice measuring length of classroom objects to develop the skills of measurement accuracy and precision. In the outdoor garden, students measure three different fruits, vegetables, and/or herbs that are growing there. They convert their measurements between different units of measure in the metric system. For example: The tomato is 14 cm long or 140 mm long. Finally, students research the health benefits of the fruits and vegetables they measured and taste these healthy foods if they wish. 

3-minute video about "Symbol Imagery" (taking a picture with your mind) and practice applying that to remember that the x-coordinate of the vertex of a parabola is -b/2a .
