Students will review and practice breaking numbers apart into expanded form in order to add.
*students will use brainstorming and mind mapping tools/activities to outline their writing process; they will use the following: bubbl.us--this is a mind-mapping tool
In this lesson, students explore arithmetic patterns to help solve a real-world problem involving addition operations. This lesson supports the 3rd grade standard of identifying arithmetic patterns and explaining them using properties of operations.
This resource is a collection of lesson plans and hands-on activities about aquatic macroinvertebrates and water quality for K-6 students.
Build fractions from shapes and numbers to earn stars in this fractions game or explore in the Fractions Lab. Challenge yourself on any level you like.
This task/game allows students to practice addition while also thinking about ways to organize counting by randomly selecting two (two-digit) number cards and finding the sum. In addition, students are prompted with guiding questions to promote discourse. In closure, students use writing to reflect on their learning and thinking strategies during the game.
Students construct sets of numbers up to 10, write the numerals up to 10, and count up to 10 rationally. They use ten frames and also make bean sticks.
I used this lesson to first build my students understanding of working up to 10. However, I knew they knew how to make 10, so to adjust this particular lesson, I then built on from this lesson. We used the strategy of counting on to work into teen numbers (designing the concept of ten and extra ones). This lesson mat with the fingers was great because kids could make their ten with the hands, but then also see the extra ones. I would only use this to make combinations up to 10, build the concepts of a group of ten and some extra ones, and counting on. I did not use the numeral cards as we were more focused on counting out groups of numbers, counting on from that group, building a ten, and seeing extra ones.
This resource is useful as a kinesthetic activity to reinforce the content on nucleic acids. Students can create a model that shows the three dimensional aspect of DNA and understand the helix shaped molecule and its components.
In this project students are given a list of supplies and a budget and expected to build their dream home with no limitations. So they do have a certain amount set for their budget as well as certain things set with rooms and sizes other than that the sky is the limit for them!
Students will use engineering skills to develop and use models as well as collaboratively plan an investigation to make sense of buoyancy.

A trimmed-down version of how to write a business plan.
A web adventure featuring characters from the popular CSI series in which students participate in completing a crime scene investigation using proper forensic technique.
In the wake of recent acts of gun violence in America, both citizens and politicians continue the debate over gun control in the United States. Legislation addressing issues like background checks, concealed carry permits and bump stocks have been suggested to address this issue. This deliberation will allow students to explore the roots of gun control in the United States while also exploring varying viewpoints on how to address the problem of gun violence in the future.
Lesson Description
Students compare different algorithms to find the best method of sorting a group of unknown weights in order. Students practice a Selection Sort and Quick Sort. Additional variations include:
Insertion SortBubble SortMerge Sort
The lesson also introduces students to the concept of recursion.
Online Resources
Online resources include a step-by-step downloadable Lesson Plan. The webiste also provides a YouTube video, photos, related resrouces, and additional curriculum links.
Introduce students to Binary and Algorthims prior to conducting this Algorithm Sorting Activity
This lesson unit is intended to help you assess how well students are able to solve problems involving area and arc length of a sector of a circle using radians. It assumes familiarity with radians and should not be treated as an introduction to the topic. This lesson is intended to help you identify and assist students who have difficulties in:
Computing perimeters, areas, and arc lengths of sectors using formulas.Finding the relationships between arc lengths, and areas of sectors after scaling.
This resource helps to reinforce how caloric intake and exercise work together.

This is a Wisconsin-based case study with data on how the size and distance of an island from the mainland can affect the number of different types of carnivores found on the island (Species Richness). Students are asked to graph data collected from the Apostle Islands and make a claim evidence and reasoning statement supported by data.

This is an activity/game regarding making and creating a system of Inequalities. The students will also have to write a system of equations.
This is a great STEAM project from Instructables where the student will create a basic robotic hand from basic materials. I use this project to get the students to think of proper use of some tools, develop problem solving skills and prepare for their next build of a hydraulic arm.
