The Mathematics Assessment Project shares Classroom Challenges, which are lessons that support teachers in formative assessment. There are 100 lessons in total, 20 at each grade from 6 to 8 and 40 for ‘Career and College Readiness’ at High School Grades 9 and above. Some lessons are focused on developing math concepts, others on solving non-routine...

Through the scienceinschool.org website educators can learn about graphing stories and have access to videos showing various "graphing stories."  These videos can be used to introduce different types of functions (linear, quadratic, piecewise, periodic), compare linear and non-linear functions, or teach students about modeling with mathematics.  Em...

Practice with formulas for the volume of prisms, spheres, cones, cylinders, and pyramids in this interactive. In the accompanying classroom activity, students use the interactive and then do a hands-on activity in which they estimate and calculate the volume in cubic inches of a variety of geometric objects. To get the most from this lesson, stude...

Math modeling is a process that uses mathematics to represent, analyze, make predictions or otherwise provide insight into real-world phenomena. Used in a variety of scientific disciplines, models are abstractions of reality that respect reality,  can lead to scientific advances, be the foundation for new discoveries, and help leaders make informed...
