This web page offers an interactive, game style experience for students to practice various grammar and punctuation skills. Students immediately know if they did the exercise correctly and have a chance to do over if necessary.
This gallery offers a closer look at some of the state’s grandest hotels and resorts built between the 1870s and the 1940s. Some, like Oakton Springs in Pewaukee, have long since vanished; others, like the Northernaire of Three Lakes and Milwaukee’s Pfister, continue to serve visitors from around the country.
This Demonstration illustrates the connection between a function and its derivative on two separate graphs. The green vertical bars indicate the value of the rate of change at the point of tangency.
Students graph exponential growth and decay functions by connecting ordered pairs. This is the first of three activities about Exponential Functions. The associated lesson plan and student assessment questions can be found at: https://concord.org/projects/smartgraphs#curriculum and clicking on “Algebra†and then “Exponential Functions.â€Â
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.

One of the principles of water is that it absorbs and releases heat easily. When there is a basin of water, like the Great Lakes, the ability to hold onto and release heat can have a significant impact on the surrounding coastal areas. Those coastal areas throughout the Great Lakes are often referred to as “The Fruit Belt.†This lesson and accompanying activities explore water's ability to absorb and release heat, the affect the Great Lakes can have on the surrounding land, and how the relationship between those two influence the economy and culture of Great Lakes coastal areas.
This lesson allows students to redesign their school to be more eco friendly. Allows the teacher to incorporate math and science together while also creating a visual model of the school.

Students will work in groups to visually analyze a work of art and then research what was happening in the time period when the work was made. Students will then discuss what impact their research had on their original perceptions. Students will finally be given background information about the work of art and will discuss how their ideas are different or similar to what they read.
Elections, in something close to their current form, have been taking place in Wisconsin since 1825. The first known state vote took place in Green Bay in 1825, when only white male citizens over the age of 21 were allowed to vote. After Wisconsin was made a territory in 1836, one of the legislature’s first acts was to set out rules for elections throughout the territory.
This online exhibit from Recollection Wisconsin provides a glimpse at the history of elections of all kinds across the state.
This site has just about everything you would need to teach anywhere from State history to the presidents of the United States. This could be a great resource to use in whatever capacity of History you are teaching.
Images of women in the kitchen are a familiar scene in the history of home economics, but what these images don’t show is the important role that home economics played in getting women into higher education. From its inception, collegiate home economics was multidisciplinary and integrative with an emphasis on science applied to the real world of the home, family, and community. It was an academic science designed by women for women. In the first half of the 20th century, these programs prepared women for teaching but also for careers in extension services, state and federal government, industry, restaurants, hotels, and hospitals.
This is an excellent way to assess students' understanding of a multitude of literary and comprehension elements when reading The House on Mango Street. It provides excellent examples as to what students can do as far as activities as well.
