As an introduction to bioengineering, student teams are given the engineering challenge to design and build prototype artificial limbs using a simple syringe system and limited resources. As part of a NASA lunar mission scenario, they determine which substance, water (liquid) or air (gas), makes the appendages more efficient.

The CyberSquad tries to figure out a table arrangement for 20 workers in this video from Cyberchase.

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Matt tries for a second time to arrange tables and chairs to accommodate 20 workers.

Matt's third table arrangement helps fit all 20 workers at five tables in this video segment from Cyberchase.

This Remote Learning Plan was created by Allison Pontious in collaboration with Rick Meyer as part of the 2020 ESU-NDE Remote Learning Plan Project.  Educators worked with coaches to create Remote Learning Plans as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.The attached Remote Learning Plan is designed for second grade math students. Students will use addition to find the total number of objects arranged in an array no larger than five rows and five columns and write an equation to express the total (e.g., 3 + 3 + 3 = 9).https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/15N0sKl_X1AH7aqswY7q-wZz8ZVCBsGdswtWCYPxoYGw/edit?usp=sharing

In this assessment in a one-to-one setting, a student is shown the numbers from 1Đ10, one number at a time, in random order. The teacher asks, Ňwhat number is this?"

This assessment task can be used with a single student or a small group of students. Each student needs his or her own set of numeral cards.

This assessment may be used in a small group or whole group setting, give each student a piece of paper. Students who have trouble writing certain numbers can then get targeted practice.

Through this earth science curricular unit, student teams are presented with the scenario that an asteroid will impact the Earth. In response, their challenge is to design the location and size of underground caverns to shelter the people from an uninhabitable Earth for one year. Driven by this adventure scenario, student teams 1) explore general and geological maps of their fictional state called Alabraska, 2) determine the area of their classroom to help determine the necessary cavern size, 3) learn about map scales, 4) test rocks, 5) identify important and not-so-important rock properties for underground caverns, and 6) choose a final location and size.

Ratio errors confuse a dodgeball coach as two teams face off in an epic tournament. See how mathematical techniques such as tables, graphs, measurements and equations help to find the missing part of a proportion.

Baby Proportions is an activity designed to challenge students to compare body measurement proportions of adults, students and infants. They then use these proportions to create a scale drawing of themselves and an infant enlarged to be their same height. The idea is to use real world measurements in practicing proportional relationship skills while creating an interesting image when finished.  

True love has the right ratio. In this humorous animation, the number of words spoken by each partner predicts whether a date goes well or horribly. What do you do when someone asks if you listen to country music backwards, but won't let you get a word in edgewise?

The purpose of this task is to help students develop fluency in their understanding of the relationship between fractions and ratios. It provides an opportunity to translate from fractions to ratios and then back again to fractions.
