How many cubes will fit? This 3 Act Task by Graham Fletcher begins with a picture of an empty cube and one unifix cube inside it. First students make observations and estimates to begin determining how many unifix cubes would fit in the empty cube. Students can then use images with the dimensions of the cube and unifix cube to determine how many unifix cubes fit into the cube. Students are estimating, visualizing, measuring, adding and multiplying fractions and whole numbers to determine the volume of the cube.

The graph of y = f '(x) will be given. Your goal is to sketch the graph of the derivative: y = f (x). Use your mouse moving from left to right, staying on the graphing board, to draw the curve. When you are ready to sketch the graph move you mouse to the far left and click and drag. Be sure to move your mouse slowly. Moving too quickly will result in the deduction of points.

Corn is one of the best crops for producing biomass for fossil fuels, however it is an annual and needs very fertile soil. To grow corn, farmers add a lot of chemical fertilizers and pesticides to their fields. Other crops, like switchgrass, prairie, poplar trees, and Miscanthus grass are perennials and require fewer fertilizers and pesticides to grow. If perennials can produce high levels of biomass with low inputs, perhaps they could produce more biomass than corn under certain low nutrient conditions.

Students will learn about the four pillars of Drug Strategies our society uses to prevent, reduce the number of addicts, and the harm they place on our society; from deaths, disease transmission, crime, cost, etc. Once students understand each pillar and how these steps help prevent addictions they will focus on the forth pillar which is "Harm Reduction". Harm Reduction is very contraversal and fairly new in our society, especially with the Heroin Epidemic we are facing in our society. Harm reduction programs and practices aim to reduce the harms associated with the use of drugs in people unable or unwilling to stop. Harm reduction programs focus on limiting the risks and harms associated with unsafe drug use (HIV transmission, viral hepatitis, and death from overdose), decrease the cost on society and petty crime. Students will form personal opinions on three different types of Harm Reduction practices around the world and they work as a group to debate their view point.

Over the course of nine months, eleven Hmong language educators took an Ethnic Studies course with Dr. Jenna Cushing-Leubner & Heritage Language/Ethnic Studies teacher Natalia Benjamin at the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and attended the Boston Ethnic Studies training with Katie Li and her team. Afterwards Dr. Vicky Xiong-Lor of Clovis Unified and Doua Vue of Fresno Unified lead the team through self-healing activities and created a Hmong Ethnic Studies curriculum. This is the first phase of curriculum creation with more to come.
