Curated OER
Jackson's Consecutive Numbers
Students generate patterns from a structured problem, finding a rule for the general term, and expresses it in words and symbols. They then devise and use problem solving strategies to explore situations mathematically.
Curated OER
Means of Growth
Students collect and graph data. In this statistics lesson, students analyze their plotted data using a scatter plot. They identify lines as having positive, negative or no correlation.
Curated OER
Linear Functions: Are You Ready for the REAL World?
students emulate a real world problem and model it with mathematics working in a small group. Observe and facilitate discussion as the groups use various strategies, such as (graphs, brainstorming, tables, and dialogue.
