Squirt
Fourth graders using the idea of "how many more squirts" fill a container to develop multiplicative thinking. They also investigate the idea of conservation of volume when working with oddly shaped containers. They attempt to use...
Curated OER
Sloping and Intersecting a Linear Function
Pupils examine and discuss typical linear equations, and the difference between a linear and nonlinear equation. They observe examples of linear equations and complete a worksheet.
Curated OER
Integrating Functions
In this math activity, students find the answers to the functions that includes integration and trigonometry. They use the examples for help with the special functions.
Curated OER
Pyrotechnics
Students discuss pyrotechnics and what they have noticed about their height and speed. They think about the path which fireworks follow which is a parabola. They follow multiplication patterns to determine the Zero Product Property and...
