Students will be given a PBL problem “How can we use data collected for Feed the Hunger to solve problems and be prepared for our packing day on November 10th?” Student’s will develop a plan to package food for this organization. They will work in groups of 4 or 5 as they work on this PBL. This lesson was developed by Erin Plummer as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.            

In this lesson, students will be completing a math problem based learning activity by solving mathematical problems and activites to help when students pack food through our Feed the Hunger Campaign. This lesson was developed by Marissa Piersanti as part of their completion of the North Carolina Global Educator Digital Badge program. This lesson plan has been vetted at the local and state level for standards alignment, Global Education focus, and content accuracy.            

In this lesson, students will use "divide by 10" patterns for multi-digit whole number division.

In this lesson, students will use basic facts to estimate quotients with two-digit divisors.

In this lesson, students will use basic facts to estimate quotients with two-digit divisors.

In this lesson, students will divide two- and three-digit dividends by multiples of 10 with single-digit quotients and make connections to a written method.

In this lesson, students will divide two- and three-digit dividends by two-digit divisors with single-digit quotients and make connections to a written method.

In this lesson, students will divide two- and three-digit dividends by two-digit divisors with single-digit quotients and make connections to a written method.

In this lesson, students will divide three- and four-digit dividends by two-digit divisors resulting in two- and three-digit quotients, reasoning about the decomposition of successive remainders in each place value.

In this lesson, students will divide three- and four-digit dividends by two-digit divisors resulting in two- and three-digit quotients, reasoning about the decomposition of successive remainders in each place value.

In this lesson, students will solve division word problems involving multi-digit division with group size unknown and the number of groups unknown.

Students engage in the second design challenge of the unit, which is an extension of the maze challenge they solved in the first lesson/activity of this unit. Students extend the ideas learned in the maze challenge with a focus more on the robot design. Gears are a very important part of any machine, particularly when it has a power source such as engine or motor. Specifically, students learn how to design the gear train from the LEGO MINDSTORMS(TM) NXT servomotor to the wheel to make the LEGO taskbot go faster or slower. A PowerPoint® presentation, pre/post quizzes and a worksheet are provided.

Students will brainstorm ways that they use and waste natural resources. Also, they will respond to some facts about population growth and how people use petroleum. Lastly, students will consider the different ways that engineers interact with and use our natural resources.

This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Students explore George's strategy and need to determine how to help him. This is remixable.

Students will build on and apply their understanding of multiplication and division to determine the amount of energy used by incandescent light bulbs in an average family residence in a month. Using the information students will determine the amount of energy used by the same family, replacing the incandescent bulbs with CFLs. Students will then find the cost of lighting for each of the bulb types for a month, comparing the costs of providing energy for the two types of bulbs. This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project. This lesson plan has been vetted at the state level for standards alignment, AIG focus, and content accuracy.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about dividing 3 and 4 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about dividing 3 and 4 digit numbers by 2 digit numbers.

This resource is a tool to help students use the standard algorithm for long division using members of the family as reminders for the steps in the process.

To complete this challenging task, students must use division to convert minutes into hours and hours into days. Students may employ whatever strategies they prefer to solve this problem. Exploring students' strategies as a class will incorporate the practice standards into this lesson.

For this task, students find the product of 3 single-digit numbers using strategies.
