This lesson is Day 2 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson uses paper folding to introduce the concept of equivalent fractions. To complete this lesson, make sure you have a square piece of paper (any size) and a crayon

This lesson is Day 2 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson introduces the idea that fractions can be used to represent 1 whole. To engage in this lesson, students may use virtual circle models from Toy Theater (https://toytheater.com/fraction-circles/)

This lesson is Day 3 in a series of 5 lessons around U.S customary measurement.

This video lesson explores the use of appropriate units for measuring length. Additionally, students will be asked to solve single-step problems involving lengths of distances. No materials are needed for this lesson.

This lesson is Day 1 in a series of 5 lessons around U.S customary measurement.

This video lesson introduces U.S. customary units for measuring capacity (cups, pints, quarts, and gallons). Students examine benchmarks for each unit, and then apply their knowledge of capacity to make lava lamps. To make a lava lamp, students will need: 1 quart-size empty water bottle, 2 cups vegetable oil, 1 cup water, food coloring, 1 alka-seltzer tablet. (All measurements are approximate and may be adjusted based on the capacity of the water bottle).

This lesson is Day 4 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson looks at how we use fractions in the kitchen. Students are challenged to use circle models to find equivalent fractions for a recipe. Students may use virtual circe models from the Toy Theater (https://toytheater.com/fraction-circles/).

This lesson is Day 2 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This game may be played with one or two people. It reviews fractions on a number line, adding fraction with like denominators, and equivalent fractions. For an extra challenge, you can even break up your moves across multiple tracks (e.g., if your card reads 1/2, you could move 1/4 and 2/8).

This lesson is Day 5 in a series of 5 lessons around U.S customary measurement.

In this video lesson, students learn the difference between weight and capacity as they observe a cookie recipe being made. No materials are needed for this lesson.

This lesson is Day 6 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson teaches students how to create bar models to compare lengths/distances. Students will need a piece of paper, ruler, scissors, and a pencil. These bar models will also be used for Day 7's lesson.

This video lesson introduces the idea that when comparing two fractions, they must refer to the same size whole. Then, students use fraction strips to compare fractions. Students may use virtual fraction strips from Toy Theater (https://toytheater.com/fraction-strips/)

This lesson is Day 8 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson introduces the number as a tool for representing and comparing fractions. Students will need a black piece of a paper and a pencil with a good eraser.

This lesson is Day 9 in a series of 12 lessons around fraction equivalences and comparisons.

This video lesson introduces students to fractions beyond 1 using a choral counting routine. Students connect the fractions to points on a number line and bar models. For this lesson, students need a piece of blank paper and a pencil.

Google Sheets platform for small groups of students to record/share their discussions as they evolve their understanding of any topic, along with a Google Slides slideshow that teaches how to use the Google Sheets Group Discussion Form while small groups of students explore/discover how to generate each next row of Pascal's Triangle.

Dividing Decimals Animated Review VideoDirect link to Dividing Decimals Animated Review for closed-captionsThis short animated video walks students through the process of dividing with decimals. Two practice problems are presented in the video. The first practice problem has a whole number for the divisor and a number with a decimal for the dividend. The second practice problem has decimals in both the divisor and dividend. This video can be used with students in multiple grade levels to teach dividing decimals as a new concept or as a reteaching tool. You can use either the embed code or direct URL provided below to integrate the Dividing Decimals Animated Review video into your course.The video is closed-captioned and a PDF version of the transcript has been attached.  

Students work together using their knowledge of grouping tens to create links of tens, combine and compare their links, then realize that if they combine all of their links this could create enough “snow” to build a snowman in the classroom!

Students will watch introductory videos about paratroopers in WWII and how parachutes work, and be challenged to design, create, and improve, an original paratrooper with specific limited supplies.

The Number Pieces Basic app helps students develop a deeper understanding of place value while building their competition skills with multi-digit numbers. Students can use the number pieces to represent multi-digit numbers, count, regroup, add, and subtract. The drawing tools allow students to label representations and show their understanding numbers and math concepts.

This simulation allows you to use a slider to see how positive and negative integers add on a number line.

Using an Arduino microprocessor, students will build an automated fish food feeder so fish can be fed when no one is at school?

This project involves learning how to do simple wiring of an LED, a buzzer, and a servo (motor) to a simple-to-use Arduino microprocessor.

This project applies the concepts of Friction, Gravity, Newton's Laws, Potential and Kinetic Energy, Speed, Distance vs. Time Graphs, and integrates them into a culminating project. Students work in pairs to create a marble run using basic classroom supplies and a standard tri-fold board. The goal is to create a marble run that takes as long as possible for the marble to complete without getting stuck. The project includes a data analysis section and a content questions component. There is also a scoring rubric included. The standards that this project covers can be found on the final page of the document. No special materials or tools are necessary.
