Students explore linear relationships in the context of helping Sophie determine the best option (back yard celebration or dinner at a restaurant) for her parents’ surprise anniversary celebration. 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 activity requires students to design a set of kickball fields to accommodate 153 players in a summer league, determine the number of teams, create a schedule that allows each team to play each other team once, create umpire schedules, determine the number of kickballs needed, choose the company from which tee shirts should be purchased, and then determine if the boys charged an appropriate registration fee based on their findings. This lesson was developed by NCDPI as part of the Academically and/or Intellectually Gifted Instructional Resources Project.

This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Given a situation, students identify a pattern, extend the pattern, and then graph the pattern on a coordinate grid. This is remixable.

This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Given a situation, students explore a task with a pattern, extend the pattern, and represent the pattern on the coordinate plane.

This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Students explore the relationship between numbers and look for patterns. This is remixable.

This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Students solve problems involving the coordinate grid. This is remixable.

This task is from Tools 4 NC Teachers. Given a situation, students identify a pattern and continue the pattern. They also graph the pattern on the coordinate grid. This is remixable.

This resource is from Tools4NCTeachers.At the beginning of the school year, it is important to establish a positive community with both students and parents.  This professional development presentation gives tips for doing just that!  There are lots of suggestions for websites, read alouds, and at-home activities.

In this lesson, students will apply their understanding of patterns and rules, ordered pairs, and coordinate graphs to solve real world problems related to the cost of text messaging.
