Students will be working collaboratively with others to categorize equations into having one, no, or infinite solutions. Students will then make generalizations about the characteristics of equations that have one, no, or infinite solutions. 
This lesson unit is also intended to help you assess how well students are able to:
• Solve linear equations in one variable with rational number coefficients.• Collect like terms.• Expand expressions using the distributive property.
It also aims to encourage discussion on some common misconceptions about solving equations.

This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to solve quadratics in one variable. In particular, the lesson will help you identify and help students who have the following difficulties:
Making sense of a real life situation and deciding on the math to apply to the problem.Solving quadratic equations by taking square roots, completing the square, using the quadratic formula, and factoring.Interpreting results in the context of a real life situation.

Per the authors/creators, students learn the meanings of new words by engaging in a wide array of reading. However, the chances of learning a new word from a single exposure in a naturally occurring context are slim. This lesson provides sixth, seventh- and eighth-grade students with the opportunity to practice using context clues that are purposefully manipulated. Context clues are then combined with semantic gradients, requiring students to both select and generate related words along the continuum. Students work in groups and are required to verbalize their thinking. Additionally, they apply their learning by creating context clues and semantic gradients of their own.

Having explored how Robert Hayden uses consonance, assonance, and alliteration to illustrate a complex relationship between a father and a son in "Those Winter Sundays," students engage in a variety of vocal activities and performance techniques based on word sounds. Students then prepare a recitation of the poem for small group performances and compare their interpretative choices as part of the reflection process.

How long will the fidget spinner spin? This 3 Act Task by Graham Fletcher begins with a short portion of a video with a fidget spinner in motion. First students make observations and estimates to begin determining how long the fidget spinner will be in motion. Students are then given the total number of spins and the average spins per second. Using division of a 4 digit dividend by a 1 digit divisor and conversion skills, students calculate the amount of time the spinner will spin.

"I'd like to suggest the educational technology resource: SpinnerWheel.com

Spinner Wheel is a free online tool that allows for a flexible and engaging approach to learning. It has many use-cases for any subject.

All entries on wheels are fully editable and one of the main things that makes it so useful is the ability to create multiple wheels for use at one time.

An example use of Spinner Wheel for mathematics: https://spinnerwheel.com/mental-mathematics-quiz
and for creative writing: https://spinnerwheel.com/short-burst-writing-ideas-generator

From creating multiple random number generators to equitably selecting students from a group, the possibilities for using this resource in a learning environment are practically endless."

This activity is for a Sports and Entertainment Marketing course. There are five phases to the project. Students will develop their own sports franchise or concert tour. Students will identify a new market, design a stadium, come up with a distribution plan, price tickets, develop sales promotions for their new team, and develop merchandise for the team.

Website Description:
Students discover that states have their own governments and powers separate from the federal government. They learn what those powers are, how they’re different from the federal government’s powers, and that state governments also give power to smaller, local governments. Students critique a set of fictional state laws, create a story involving state powers, and look at some differences between state and local power.
We recommend teaching our lesson The "Federal" in Federalism right before this lesson.
(Please note: This lesson replaces our old "On the Level" lesson plan. The Venn diagram activity from On the Level can be found in The "Federal" in Federalism.)

Student Learning Objectives:
Students will be able to…
*Explain the source and nature of state and local governmental power.
*Distinguish reserved powers from federal powers.
*Identify types of powers that are held at the state or local level.
*Examine the differences between statewide laws and local ordinances/laws.
*Explain the duties of various local officials.

This Lesson Plan goes over how to find the Mean, Median, Mode, IQR, and Mean Absolute Deviation of a data set. We will go over some generic examples in the lesson and then do some practical application, as we find each of these from the samples taken to ensure consistent weight of the paper from BPM.

This activity displays a stem and leaf plot representing data either entered by the user or generated by the computer. The user can use the applet as a tool that creates a stem and leaf plot from data the user inputs, or to practice calculating the mean, median, and mode of a given data set.

A teacher uses self-assessment as a formative practice within the classroom. Students self-assess their writing with a stop light system: green (confident with first draft), yellow (unsure and wants clarification), or red (needs support) based on a writing exemplar. Next, they partner with a student with an opposite color to provide feedback or obtain feedback. Finally students use the feedback to revise their writing.

This video and resources can be used to build awareness among leaders, as well as to support educators' professional learning. Consider using this supplement to support conversations with parents/community, as well as to promote data and assessment literacy as part of ongoing professional development and PLC activities.

Prince EA has created a series of YouTube videos including "I JUST SUED THE SCHOOL SYSTEM !!!" "Sorry Future Generations" "I am NOT black, you are NOT white" that addresses teaching methods, future environmental issues, personal opinions, and motivational opportunities for students to observe.

Prince EA uses a lyrical presentation that captures the attention of viewers by the use of "Slam Poetry" choreographed with background music.

This document includes a student interview protocol that can be used to guide improvement planning in your school/district. Interview questions can vary based on your needs. Many schools choose to focus their questions on their values/character traits. The interview process could also be used with staff or families.

This student-friendly writing rubric was created to use with students to help them understand and evaluate their own writing, fostering growth and improvement in their composition skills. It also includes a note for families and could be used to help caregivers understand more about their student's strengths and areas of growth in writing.

Students will complete this scenario to create a detailed product mix and product items for a fictional brand.

The is a 3-Act lesson which shows a video of a man running Stairs and then running Super-Stairs.  Students generate questions like "How long will it take for him to run"  and "How many steps does he take".

This is appropriate for students studying sequences and series or as an enrichment problem for younger math students.
