Pre-Alge

(View Complete Item Description)

This is a remix of Pre-Algebra/Beginning Algebra Concepts - Computer Resources with some additions to the Integers activities. https://www.oercommons.org/authoring/28963-pre-algebra-beginning-algebra-concepts-computer The intention of this curriculum guide is to provide teachers with supplemental materials to use to support students in strengthening their skills in various concept areas that are crucial for understanding beginning algebra. The activities are broken down by skill with links provided below. This is intended as a way to provide students with engaging, primarily computer-based activities to get extra practice with material that is covered elsewhere in the curriculum. This collection focuses on simulations and games using the computer—some resources may be ripe for teachers to develop unique activities to accompany the simulation and some possible suggestions are included with the descriptions. This series is intended to be pick-and-choose. In this Curriculum Guide: Activities and practice with: Integers, Exponents, Order of Operations, Distributive Property, Expressions, Equations and Basic Graphing

Integers 5: Adding **different** signed numbers.

(View Complete Item Description)

For many adult students, positive and negative integers are an example of when math “keeps changing the rules.” This is the fifth of six lessons guiding students in constructing the abstract concepts necessary to understand adding positive and negative integers. This lesson will review previous knowledge about negative numbers and teach adding integers with different signs. This is a time when it’s important to stress to students that understanding this lesson will help them in many future lessons.

Bootstrap: Data Science Pathway

(View Complete Item Description)

In Bootstrap:Data Science, students form their own questions about the world around them, analyze data using multiple methods, and write a research paper about their findings. The module covers functions, looping and iteration, data visualization, linear regression, and more. Social studies, science, and business teachers can utilize this module to help students make inferences from data. Math teachers can use this module to introduce foundational concepts in statistics, and it is aligned to state and national standards.

Living Proof: Stories of Resilience along the Mathematical Journey

(View Complete Item Description)

The stories in Living Proof are intended to provide support and inspiration for mathematics students experiencing struggle and despair. If students keep working, if they keep seeking, they’ll be rewarded by serendipity, which is really just, as these stories remind us, the habit of mind to be engaged and to notice when something good has happened.

Mathematics: Tribal Taxes

(View Complete Item Description)

In this lesson, students will learn essential information about taxes and how they impact enrolledmembers of federally recognized Native American Tribes. Many people believe that Native Americans do not pay taxes and therefore should not benefit from federal and state tax-supported programs. This lesson debunks that myth and helps students understand the complex interrelation between state, federal, and Tribal governments and tax systems. Students will also complete a math exercise using piecewise functions to analyze and calculate federal and Oregon state income taxes. The lesson can stand on its own or serve as a complement to or extension of other math lessons.

Lesson 28: Federal Income Tax

(View Complete Item Description)

This real-life descriptive modeling lesson (see page 61 of the CCLS or page 71 of the CCSS) is about using inequalities and graphs to understand the progressive federal tax system. Like the last lesson, this lesson again runs through the problem, formulate, compute, interpret, validate, report modeling cycle, but unlike the difficult modeling lesson on the Double and Add 5 game, more autonomy can be given to students in this lesson.
