Monster Frog Function Machine
Elementary schoolers use a function machine in order to help them look at the relationship between input and output, and to look at the rule for the change. The machine is actually a cardboard box, and it serves quite well for the lesson...
Curated OER
Mixed Tables
These dinosaurs act like math machines as scholars practice their division skills. Each one has a given division function to apply to four incoming dividends. Pupils complete the equations, writing in the quotient for each. There are no...
Curated OER
Arithmetic Patterns
When one number goes in, another comes out. Scholars are introduced to math functions as they multiply, subtract, and divide numbers to get new ones. There are three functions and tables of numbers here; pupils apply the rule to each...
Curated OER
Mixed Tables
Who knows how to operate these multiplication machines? Young mathematicians examine five machines, each with a specific function (i.e. x3) to transform the input numbers to output numbers. They send five numbers through each machine,...
Curated OER
The Function Box
Students explore arithmetic and numerical patterns. After observing a teacher created function box, students describe a pattern and predict what will "come out" of the function box. They explore patterns such as geometric shapes,...
Curated OER
Arithmetic Patterns
Introduce your young math scholars to functions. Because the answer is explained at the bottom of the page, consider projecting this and covering it up until you hear the class responses. They observe a rule (in this case to add 15) and...
Curated OER
Algebra
Learners practice using a function machine online to help them with functions. They examine the relationship between input and output. They discover the rule for the change when completing these types of problems.
Curated OER
TRIANGULATEERS IN THE REAL WORLD
Students explore about triangles and the simple machines that are made from those triangles. They are able to identify the kinds of triangles in the machines, tell how the triangular shapes make the machines function, and build a simple...
Curated OER
Multiplying by 100s sheet 1
In this multiplication learning exercise, learners put numbers into a function machine where they multiply either a one digit number or a hundreds number (200, 300, etc). Students complete 54 problems.
Curated OER
Machinery In Society
Students explore technology by completing a worksheet in class. For this common machinery lesson, students define the different designs that make simple machines work such as wheels, pulleys and gears. Students utilize verbs to describe...
Curated OER
Kidney Filtering
Students investigate how kidneys function. They discuss how a dialysis machine works, and conduct an experiment in which they filter different substances through a plastic window screen, various sizes of hardware cloth, and poultry...
Curated OER
Simply Unique
Pupils identify, compare and contrast simple machines and their functions. They work together in groups to complete experiments using the simple machines. They write in their journals to reflect on the lesson.
Curated OER
Addends with Spiffy
Students solve single variable equations. For this missing addend lesson, students solve problems with missing addends. Students create a function box to help study numerical reasoning.
Curated OER
Same As
Explore the concept of the equals symbol. In this mathematical symbols lesson, learners discover the meaning of the equals sign (symbol). They also construct addition and subtraction sentences to understand the concept of equal parts.
Curated OER
Just Passing Through
Young scholars examine the functions of the kidney and its place in the urinary system. They discuss how astronauts go the bathroom in space, examine labeled diagrams of the urinary system, and draw a large scale drawing of the...
Curated OER
The Beauty of Number Patterns
Teaching your child about patterns can be a fun and motivating experience.
Curated OER
Just Breathe
Students examine the inhalation and exhalation process. They create a model pair of lungs from given materials. They discover the technology that has been developed based on engineers examining the respiratory system.
Curated OER
Electrical motors
Students investigate and experiement with a 9-volt motor. They will use the connecting wire and battery pack to discover fans.
