What Are the Different Parts of a Graph?
(View Complete Item Description)Being able to read a graph isn't just vital for an algebra class. Graphs and charts are used everywhere! We'll take a crash course on the basic x/y plane used in algebra and give you the fundamental vocab you need. This lesson is on the different parts of a graph. Knowing the vocabulary for the different parts of the graph is really useful because it allows you to do more than just draw it on your paper and think about it in your head; it allows you to talk about it with other people and express what you're doing in words.

CC.4.NF.1 Extend understanding of fraction equivalence and ordering.
(View Complete Item Description)Explain why a fraction a/b is equivalent to a fraction (n × a)/(n × b) by using visual fraction models, with attention to how the number and size of the parts differ even though the two fractions themselves are the same size. Use this principle to recognize and generate equivalent fractions. (Grade 4 expectations in this domain are limited to fractions with denominators 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, and 100.)

45-45-90 triangle
(View Complete Item Description)An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the properties of a 45-45-90 isosceles right triangle. The applet shows a right triangle that can be resized by dragging any vertex. As it is dragged, the remaining vertices change so that the triangle's angles remain 45 degrees, 45 degrees and 90 degrees The text on the page points out that the sides of a 45-45-90 triangle are always in the ratio of 1 : 2 : root 2 Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

Matching Fractions Decimals Percentages
(View Complete Item Description)In this interactive Flash version of the familiar game Concentration ("pelmanism" in the UK) a single user practices finding equivalent forms of fractions, decimals and percents, while developing memory and focusing skills. The player can choose an array of 16, 20, or 24 cards, which appear face down. The goal is to flip two cards at a time to match all pairs of equivalent values as efficiently as possible. A scoring feature discourages random guessing. Printable versions of the game cards are available to download. The Teachers' Notes page offers suggestions for implementation, discussion questions, and ideas for support.
