What's the Frequency, Roy G. Biv?
While all light travels at the same speed, each color in the visible light spectrum contains a different wavelength and frequency. Scholars determine the relationship between frequency and wavelength as they complete the activity. They...

Reading Graphs
Students practice plotting functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane, see several categories of functions, including lines and parabolas, and read a graph, answering questions about the situation described by the graph
Curated OER
Reading Graphs
Students plot functions on the Cartesian coordinate plane. They explore lines and parabolas. Students analyze graphs and answer questions about the information presented on the graph using an online program.

Graphing and the Coordinate Plane
Students learn about the Cartesian coordinate plane, understand the four quadrants of the Cartesian coordinate plane, and plot points on the plane. Students read coordinates for a point from a graph and give the ratio of rise over run...
Curated OER
Cartesian Coordinate System
Students explore the Cartesian coordinate plane and plot points on the graph. They interpret coordinates for a point from the graph and give the ratio of rise over run for slope.
Curated OER
Introduction to Linear Functions
Students are introduced to the basic ideas needed for understanding linear functions.

The Mandelbrot Set
Learners are introduced to the notion of a complex number and function iteration in order to motivate the discussion of Julia sets and the Mandelbrot set.
Curated OER
Doubling Up
Fifth graders explore the powers of two and substitute values into their own names by solving a math word problem. They perform calculations with powers of numbers, find square roots, and explain the relation between a square root and a...
