In this activity, students explore the basic living requirements of algae (phytoplankton)through hands-on experience and an interactive game. Students investigate what algal biofuels are, how they are made, where they can grow, and, most importantly, why this topic should be investigated. Algal biofuels are an emerging source of renewable energy.

In this video, we explore some concepts fundamental to algebra. To streamline the discussion of relationships between physical quantities, we introduce variables, functions, composition, and inverse. By thinking about the concept of an inverse function, we obtain our first glimpse of the imaginary root (i.e. square-root of -1) and the complex plane.

This is a book containing over 200 problems spanning over 70 specific topic areas covered in a typical Algebra II course. Learners can encounter a selection of application problems featuring astronomy, earth science and space exploration, often with more than one example in a specific category. Learners will use mathematics to explore science topics related to a wide variety of NASA science and space exploration endeavors. Each problem or problem set is introduced with a brief paragraph about the underlying science, written in a simplified, non-technical jargon where possible. Problems are often presented as a multi-step or multi-part activities. This book can be found on the Space Math@NASA website.

My school uses a series of "Gateway" quizzes to evaluate a baseline level of learning for students in my Algebra I course. These are not to be confused with Mastery quizzes; instead, they are meant as a bare-minimum level of achievement. These 17 quizzes consititute the base level of learning a student needs to achieve to earn at least a 60% (D-) grade in my class.
Teachers could use these quizzes as described above, or simply as periodic assessments if they happen to be on a given topic.
Again, I do NOT consider these topics to be sufficient to compromise a standard Algebra I course, simply as a bare-minimum to be prepared for the next school year.
*note: for each of the 17 quizzes, I included a pdf, and also a file created in the original software, Kuta Software. Downloading the Kuta software (sadly, only available on Windows) will allow you to regenerate multiple versions of each quiz.

Introduce elementary students to the concept of functions by investigating growing patterns. Visual patterns formed with manipulatives are especially effective for elementary students and allow them to concretely build understanding as they first reproduce, then extend the pattern to the next couple of stages.
