| Quadratic Equations in Action |
9 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will video and analyze real-life situations that produce a parabolic curve. |
| Quadratics in Nature and Architecture |
9 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 3 ratings) Students will discover real-life applications of quadratic functions using video cameras. The students will learn how to write equations for the parabolas that they find in real-life. |

9 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students will use digital cameras to take photos of items or situations that can be modeled using algebraic equations. |
| Scootpad |
1 to 6 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Scootpad is an online math and reading website that provides personalized and engaging practice, based on a spiraled learning path. It allows for self-paced learning and instructional interventions. |
| Seeing Math Everywhere We Look |
9 to 9 |
(5.0 stars, 2 ratings) Through an exploration and photographic capture of parabolas throughout our environment. students will move from the “When am I ever going to use this?” to “I see it being used” stage in math class – specifically for quadratic equations. They will then research the related jobs necessary to "bring the parabola to life." |
| Smart Jeopardy Review |
9 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Using the Smart Board, students will play Jeopardy to review mathematical topics that they have learned. |
| Solving Systems of Linear Equations Using Substitution |
7 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) This Algebra I lesson uses SMART Board technology to provide students with a physical sense of the process of substitution and how it can be used in solving a system of linear equations. |
| Students Are the Best Teachers |
4 to 12 |
| Students will take an active role in the teaching and learning process by creating digital presentations that review basic concepts that are the foundations for all courses. These may include focused mini lessons on such areas as vocabulary, grammar, figures of speech, math problems and concepts, historical events, scientific elements, or technology operations. |
| Super Size It, Please! |
10 to 11 |
| Hands on math project to help students understand scale factors and ratios using photos of themselves! |
| Tablet use in Centers |
P-K to 9 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Teacher will use a tablet in a center in order to focus student on quick activities centered on one concept. Students will cycle through the 6 centers in groups of 4. |
| Teaching and Learning: Using iPods in the Classroom |
P-K to 5 |
(4.5 stars, 2 ratings) My students need an iPod touches, apps, and software so I can facilitate the implementation of activities that are in step with the 21st century classroom. |
| The Algebra of Angry Birds© |
6 to 8 |
(5.0 stars, 2 ratings) Angry Birds is a popular application (app) that features birds that are launched from a slingshot at green pigs. Students will explore algebraic and physics content that is embedded in the game. |
| The Bird's Word Video Podcast |
K to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) Students collaborate in small groups to write a script which explains, demonstrates, and gives examples of a specific part of a large topic (for example, one part of the water cycle). Each group films themselves using Flip Video Cameras and then the parts are assembled into one video which explains the large topic. |
| The Flip Side: A Multi-Genre Occupational Research Project |
7 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) This lesson will provide students with the authority of the "naked eye" to give way towards finding their own truth, place, and ability to communicate efficiently in a global community. |
| The Geometry Amazing Race for High School Students |
8 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 2 ratings) Students groups will be able to use digital cameras to site evidence of geometry work completed at different country location stations or tasks given by teachers.
Students groups will apply properties of polygons, determine distances, points of concurrence, and justify answers. Integrated subjects of trigonometry and algebra will be visited. |
| The Tales of Nerdy Norm |
8 to 12 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) In this lesson, students will create a stop motion video that showcases the transformations of quadratic functions by creating a clay model of "Nerdy Norm the Normal Parabola." Students will add audio to their movie to tell the tale of how a shift in Nerdy Norm's "mood" changes his graph! |
| The Triple O |
4 to 8 |
(5.0 stars, 1 ratings) After completing an interactive technology based math lesson, students will create various movies showcasing their knowledge of the order of operations. Using movie making software, it will include a mathematical dance and various small group based presentations. |
| Using Math Explorer Series as a Center |
