Assess and document your autistic or special needs learner's progress toward shape recognition. This assessment prompts the child to circle one shape in a row of three. A simple tool is a quick way to check for understanding.

Go from one side length to any other side length with special right triangles. Individuals use the interactive to investigate the ratio of sides in 45-45 and 30-60 right triangles. Scholars make generalizations about the types of special...

Effective assessment plays a huge role in a special education classroom. This is an assessment of an assessment tool. It can be used to test the accuracy of your current assessment or as an assessment itself. 

A set of quizzes and assessments would make a great companion to your lesson on making decisions and opportunity risks. Learners watch a PowerPoint before answering multiple choice questions about interest rates, saving money, and the...

It's assessment time! Determine your young mathematicians' understanding of elapsed time with this brief, five-question quiz.

Your learners use many different number representations like positive and negative integers, exponents, radicals, and combinations of operations as they learn and strengthen their use of the order of operations. Thoughtfully organized to...

Statistics is all about making inferences! A lesson guide explains the meaning of inferences and how to use statistics to make them. The resource provides instruction as well as information about the topic on the AP® Statistics exam. 

Who needs a plan — let trigonometry protect you! Pupils determine the angle of an approaching enemy to a village wall. The scholars determine the exact value of trigonometric functions for the angle. Class members use trigonometry to...

Factoring patterns are not magic! Show your classes how to model the difference of two squares' factors using an area model. Learners manipulate the width and length of two squares to represent the polynomial a^2-b^2. They use the model...

Here is a real-world application for systems of equations. When is it better to pay an enrollment fee and lower daily rate, and when is it better to pay the regular price? The local swim center is having a special offer, reductions in...

A steal of a deal — get four angles for the value of one. An interactive resource allows individuals to visualize all four angles that have the same reference angle. Pupils answer questions by using the interactive to create the...

The truth will always come out. A short performance task has learners considering a witness statement given to a detective. They apply special line segments in triangles and Ceva's Theorem to prove that the witness is actually lying.

Most teenagers want to buy a car, but do they know how much it really costs? Calculate the cost of purchasing a car, securing auto insurance, and maintaining the new investment with a thorough and engaging personal finance...

Slow and steady wins the race? In the assessment task, scholars calculate the rates at which different snails travel in order to find the fastest snail. Hopefully, your class will move much more quickly in finishing the task!

Functions are special types of relations, but what makes them so special? Pupils use an interactive to slide a vertical line across six different graphs. Ten challenge questions then assess understanding of functions.

See how vertical and horizontal lines have special equations. Scholars drag vertical and horizontal lines onto a coordinate plane to graph given equations. They then answer a set of challenge questions on the topic.  

Trace the links between a variety of math concepts in this far-reaching unit. Ideas that seem very different on the outset (like the distance formula and rigid transformations) come together in very natural and logical ways. This...

This short video show viewers how to connect the sum of the angles in a triangle to other angle measurements. Pupils determine the missing measures for angles involved with triangles and quadrilaterals. Class members then must explain...
