Algebra II Module 2: Mid-Module Assessment
Time for classes to show what they've learned. Use several tasks to assess understanding of the trigonometric functions, unit circle, radians, and basic trigonometric identities.
Balanced Assessment
Sloppy Student I
"Does this work every time?" We've all heard it. Now learners get to explore methods to answer that question themselves. Pupils analyze a mistake that has been made with creating a formula for multiplying binomials. They then create...
PBL Pathways
Boogie Boards
Solve a complex business puzzle by building a linear programming model. An engaging project-based learning problem has classes examining transportation costs and manufacturing limitations from several plants. Ultimately, they use their...

Best Midpoint
Develop a strong understanding of what it means to be a midpoint. Learners analyze the angles, coordinates, and lengths of segments and their approximated midpoints. They use their analyses to develop a formula to rank four attempts at...

Pixel Pattern
Any vintage video game users in the room? Young scholars use a video presentation to analyze patterns in pixel arrangements. By writing an arithmetic sequence, they make predictions about the size of the image.
101 Questions
Popcorn Picker
A video and popcorn, just like being at the movies! Given the dimensions of two different cylinders, scholars decide which will hold the most popcorn. They find out if their calculations are correct with the provided solution video.
101 Questions
Thanksgiving Taters
What would a meal be without the taters? The question is, how long does it take to peel those potatoes? Given the rate of peeling one potato, scholars predict the time it takes to peel the bag. The twist is that the first potato was...
Concord Consortium
Betweenness III
Don't let a little challenge get between your pupils and their learning! Scholars compare two absolute value functions to recognize patterns and use them to build their own functions with outputs that are between the given. They then...

Pedestrian Countdown
You won't find yourself racing the clock on such a great task. Scholars use video information to predict the time left on a crosswalk signal after a pedestrian crosses. The video shows the time left on the counter, and individuals must...

KidVid: Fractions and Scale
Scale the challenge of learning about ratios and scales. Young mathematicians learn to incorporate fractional measurements when considering scales and scale factors. They use an interactive to investigate the concept and critically...
Curated OER
Similarity
Students engage in a lesson that is concerned with the concept of similarity. This takes higher order thinking skills and being able to separate into categories. Specifically in this lesson they are introduced to the scale and how it is...

Lines and Line Segments
In this lines and line segments learning exercise, students solve 6 word problems where they identify lines and line segments, draw rectangles made of line segments, and define perpendicular and intersecting lines. The problems require...
Fluence Learning
Divide Shapes
Let's partition rectangles into equal parts. Assess learners on their ability to divide shapes into equal parts, and their ability to explain their thinking.

Graphs
Examine different types of graphs as a means for analyzing data. Math scholars identify the type of graph from a series of data displays and then develop questions to match each one. Then, given a scatter plot of height versus age data,...

Deodorant
Smells like learning! Young scholars collect data on the length of time a stick of deodorant lasts. After modeling the data with a graph and function, they make predictions about deodorant use over time.
Curated OER
Matching Pairs
Students examine the probability of the various findings in a game and determine the odds of winning. They differentiate between the facts of odds versus probability. Students use higher order thinking skills to explain how a problem is...
