Student D
Students are being evaluated on their math skills. In this algebra lesson, students review basic math skills and are being reviewed for leaning skills that may enhance or inhibit their learning skills. They are scored based on a special...
Curated OER
Measuring Angles
In this math activity, students use protractors to measure each of a set of angles. This is a activity generator, the teacher controls the minimum and maximum angles students are presented with as well as whether or not to rotate angles....

How Big is a Breath?
Young scholars demonstrate how to use math skills to measure their lung capacity. In this human biology lesson, students use a clear plastic container, measuring cup and rubber balloons to demonstrate how the lungs work. Young scholars...
Flipped Math
Calculus AB/BC - The Power Rule
There has to be a quicker way. Pupils learn the power rule that allows for a shortcut to take the derivative of terms to a power. Using the newly found rule, scholars find the slope of the tangent line to a function at a given x value....
