Curated OER
Shape City
Students add to a class Shape City by designing and constructing new buildings.
Curated OER
Concrete Canoes
Learners explore and analyze the relationship of buoyancy and displacement needed to make an object float. They examine various boat designs, then design and build clay and aluminum boats that hold a cargo of marbles.
Curated OER
What You See Is Not Always What You Get!
Students estimate and calculate the distance of a shape. In this algebra lesson, students differentiate between a horizontal distance and it's reflected image. They measure the reflection and the point starting at the eye of the observer.
Curated OER
Patterns In Fractals
Students find number patterns in the generation of several different types of fractals.
Curated OER
Patterns in Fractals
Students explore the concept of fractal patterns. In this fractal pattern lesson, students use an applet about the Hilbert Curve to answer questions about rectangles and other polygons. Students derive the fractal pattern when dividing...
Curated OER
Irregular Fractals
Students explore the concept of irregular fractals. In this irregular fractals lesson plan, students discuss how to find fractal dimensions through teacher led discussion. Students calculate fractal dimensions of various fractals.
