Curated OER
Conjectures and Conclusions
Students draw conclusions and make conjectures given a specific scenario. In this geometry lesson, students model real life scenarios using properties of triangles. They model number facts and explain why the outcome is what it is.
Curated OER
Polynomial Divisions
Students factor polynomials and use long division t solve problems. In this algebra lesson, students find the zeros of polynomials by synthetic and long division. They perform operation using complex numbers.

Curated OER
Buying My First Car
Students pretend they are about to buy their first new car. They must do all the calculations necessary to estimate the cost of purchasing the car. They see that the math they learn in school really does have real-life applications.
Curated OER
Flow Rates of Faucets and Rivers
Students work together to discover the flow rates of faucets and rivers. They relate their results to engineering and applied science concepts. They make predictions on the flow rate of a nearby river in their local community.
