This is a summary and example of my experiences and successes "flipping" my Algebra I classroom in the 2012-13 school year. An example of the materials a student would encounter in a given 24 hour period are included.
Laws of Exponents
Product and Quotient Rules
The Power rule for Exponents
Negative and Zero Exponents
Simplify Expressions using the Exponent Rules
![Sizes, Scales and Specialization: Adapted to add scientific notation review [version 1.0]](https://oercommons.org/static/newdesign/images/materials/default-thumbnail-index.png)
This module explores how cell size and shape varies across cell types in the human body by having students calculate relative proportions of numbers in scientific notation. The adaptation has added a review of scientific notation.
In this powerpoint, several of the resources from the published module 'Sizes, Scales and Specialization' are used to create a mini-module that has students examine the size and abundance of different human cell types using scientific notation.
Explore Logarithms in this free video unit. It is comprised of 6 lessons with 4-7 short videos in each lesson. Featuring the reasoning of Grade 8 students, the unit explores exponential and logarithmic properties and their relationship. The videos provide a foundation for the Common Core State Standards about understanding the inverse relationship between exponents and logarithms. Showing these videos may help teachers that want to help students move fluently between exponential and logarithmic expressions.
This resource introduces the concept of wind chill, the formula used to measure it and relates it to the causes of hypothermia. A simple experiment using a pie pan, sand, fan and a thermometer demonstrates this concept. The resource is from PUMAS - Practical Uses of Math and Science - a collection of brief examples created by scientists and engineers showing how math and science topics taught in K-12 classes have real world applications.
In this lesson, students will interact with variables taking the form of limited value exponents and their related functions.
In this activity, learners use basic measurements of the Earth and pieces of rock and iron to estimate the mass of the Earth. Learners will calculate mass, volume, and density, convert units, and employ the water displacement method. To calculate an even more accurate estimate of the mass of the Earth, this resource includes optional instructions on how to measure the iron core mass.
