Sled Kite
Students make and fly a sled kite out of plastic garbage bags, dowel rods, and more. In this kite lesson plan, students plan the kite to have symmetry and make adjustments as they test it.
Curated OER
Polygon Mobiles
Students explore a variety of shapes and angles and create mobiles with information about a selected polygon. Both common and "not-so common" polygons are examined.
Curated OER
Ordinals
Learners examine uses for ordinal numbers in calendars, and an ordinal chart. They order ice cream cone cut outs from 1st to 20th and complete a worksheet. (not given)
Curated OER
Precalculus: Function Models for Real-Life Situations
Learners use calculators and "by hand" techniques to compare models of real-life data situations, determine the best model for a situation, and use their models to make predictions.
Curated OER
Understanding Slope
Students find and define the slope of a line. In this algebra lesson,students differentiate between positive and negative slopes. They define the properties and slopes of vertical and horizontal lines.
