These games support student development of number sense and the concept of mathematical operations

This task gives students another way to practice counting and gain fluency with connecting a written number with the act of counting. This task should be introduced by the teacher and would then be a good independent center.

The most engaging way to practice counting with students is to have them count meaningful things in their lives. Since five-year-olds are very focused on themselves this is easily done by allowing them to count themselves, their friends and objects within the classroom that relate to their daily lives.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach first graders about counting rectangles, squares, and triangles in composite figures.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about counting right angles in a turn.

This challenging problem and brainteaser gives first graders an opportunity to compose and decompose squares.

This is an instructional task related to deepening place-value concepts. The important piece of knowledge upon which students need to draw is that 10 tens is 1 hundred.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders about counting vertices and sides in various shapes.

The objective of this lesson is to gain automaticity counting to 100 and to establish the importance of multiples of ten. The final goal of this lesson is for students to be able to count by tens and articulate the term for this.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about counting the angles in a closed figure.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fifth graders about counting the number of perpendicular lines.

This task involves solving equations with rational coefficients, and requires students to use the distributive law ("combine like terms"). The equation also provides opportunities for students to observe structure in the equation to find a quicker solution, as in the second solution presented.

Course map for a 10-week class focusing on differential calculus (without trigonometry) for business and social sciences, with learning objectives, assignments, formative feedback, learning activities, and readings from the OER textbook "Calculus for Business & Social Sciences" by Angela J. Allen and Patrick J. Orchard at Texas A&M University.

This task presents a real world application of finite geometric series. The context can lead into several interesting follow-up questions and projects. Many drugs only become effective after the amount in the body builds up to a certain level. This can be modeled very well with geometric series.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad must get into a vault before Hacker, Buzz and Delete by cracking a code of shapes and numbers.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach fourth graders about creating largest and smallest numbers given digits.

Spreadsheets Across the Curriculum module. Students track their expenses and use Excel to compare them to Seattle/Tacoma averages. Developed for adult students taking English as a Second Language.

This activity asks students to work in a team to develop a set of rules that can be used to program a SPAM filter for a client. The rules are based on characteristics of the subject lines of emails. Students are given samples of SPAM and non-SPAM subject lines to examine. After their rules are ready, they are given a test set of data to use and are asked to come up with a numerical measure to quantify how well their method (model) works. Each team writes a report describing how their model works and how well it performed on the test data. This activity could serve as an introduction to ideas of classification. Alternatively, the activity could be the basis for student introduction to types of statistical errors.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fifth graders an overview of comparing decimals.

In this example, students are asked to obtain a credit card disclosure statement, identify the various interest rates and payment rules, and keep track of a revolving monthly balance under several payment scenarios. While modeling several months to a year of credit card statements is easily accomplished with pencil, paper, and a basic calculator, this example is also well-suited for analysis with a spreadsheet.
