Peer Pressure
Sixth graders make estimations, calculations, and to collaborate with other students to solve a problem. It also teaches valuable refusal skills to combat negative peer pressure and provides students an opportunity to role play. ...
Curated OER
Linear Approximation
Pupils practice examining the tangent to a function to estimate the value of the function near the point of tangency. They view errors associated with those approximations, determine overestimates and find intervals that guarantee a...
Curated OER
Rational, Irrational and Square Roots
Seventh graders identify rational and irrational numbers and then, estimate the square root of numbers that are not perfect squares. They then identify what the radical is and differentiate between that and a division symbol clearly....
