We are surrounded everyday by circuits that utilize "in parallel" and "in series" circuitry. Complicated circuits designed by engineers are made of many simpler parallel and series circuits. In this hands-on activity, students build parallel circuits, exploring how they function and their unique features.

Everyday we are surrounded by circuits that use "in parallel" and "in series" circuitry. Complicated circuits designed by engineers are composed of many simpler parallel and series circuits. During this activity, students build a simple series circuit and discover the properties associated with series circuits.

Dancing Dash!
Create a dance for Dash to do along with students to demonstrate mastery of Math (addition/subtraction) and Science (motion/force).

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about challenging multi-step money problems.

Students observe and discuss a simple balloon model of an electrostatic precipitator to better understand how this pollutant recovery method functions in cleaning industrial air pollution.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about determining the product of two decimals without calculation.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fifth graders an overview of decimal division.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about dividing whole numbers by decimals.

This video shows HOW and WHY we can shift decimals to make whole numbers when dividing.

In this interactive resource, students walk step by step through the process of dividing decimals.

This activity is a teacher-led demonstration of continental drift and includes a math worksheet for students involving the calculation of continental drift over time. Students will understand what continental drift is, why it occurs, and how earthquakes occur because of it.

In this lesson, students will apply their knowledge of operations with decimals in order to create a meal under a budget amount.

In this activity, Franklin goes to the store to purchase supplies to complete a painting job. He works with Laverne to estimate the cost of materials using rounding and uses that estimate to calculate his rate of pay based on how long the job takes him.

In this lesson, students explore using decimals to represent fractional amounts. Students compare fractions to decimal amounts.

In this lesson students use various models to explore what happens when you divide a decimal by a whole number.
