I used this assessment as formative tasks in my seventh grade math intervention. Students worked in small groups, then pairs, then alone to complete the tasks. This gave me a clear indication of their understanding of the standard. Students used a variety of ways to solve the problems. Some used calculations, others used pictorial representations.

This applet is an expanded version of 3D Transmographer. This 3-dimensional model allows users to explore functions and their revolution around an axis. Once one or two functions have been rotated around an axis, the applet calculates the surface area and volume for the resulting solid. By clicking and dragging on the graph, users can change the vantage point from which they view the graph in order to better understand the functions, the revolution, and the resulting solid.
This assignment was developed to test students knowledge on the functions of packaging. Students will act as a packaging engineer for a new fundraising company with a unique idea. Students are told that the product is a raw egg with the likeness of Elvis Presley on it. Students will have to develop a package that will contain and protect, promote, facilitate storage, use, and convenience, and facilitate recycling of the product. Student's packages will then be put through a delivery test. The delivery tesst will involve throwing the package back and forth from one person to another ten times from a distance of 15 feet. Should the product survive this, it will be exposed to the "plunge" where it will be given a one-time free fall from 8 feet high.
Introduce students to the GDP by exploring a short video provided by CNBC, along with guided notes & two optional activities.
The Great Lakes Indian Fish & Wildlife Commission is commonly known by its acronym, GLIFWC.

In this lesson students make connections between representations, clear parentheses, simplify, factorize, and use the arithmetic of polynomials in a purposive context.
This resource is a project that allows students to explore careers related to the topic of Genetics. Students will research a career that interests them related to Genetics, create a presentation, then present to the class.
The Gen i Revolution consists of sixteen interactive missions in which students complete a variety of activities to help the learn important personal finance concepts.

Meet Geniverse: online, interactive genetics software for high school and other students. Geniverse is a game-like environment that supports experimentation, critical thinking and writing about genetics. Geniverse is designed for teachers to play an active role in the classroom by guiding students to understand and make connections to real-world genetics. Geniverse shares a pedigree with past Concord Consortium projects reaching back to the pioneering GenScope software and is built upon the same compelling premise students explore genetics by breeding and studying virtual dragons.
A captivating narrative creates an authentic context for students to dive into genetics. Students use a virtual model species (drakes) to explore the fundamental mechanisms of heredity and genetic diseases and then get a taste of careers in genetics. While following a courageous protagonist on a quest to heal a beloved dragon, students generate their own experimental data as they complete Geniverse challenges. They "publish" their findings using the scientific practice of argumentation, supporting their claims with evidence and reasoning, first in writing, and then in class discussions.
For instructions on getting started with Geniverse along with printable teacher guides, lesson plans and student handouts, visit Geniversity, our teacher resource website!
