Balancing Number Sentences to Introduce Missing Values

Students learn about balancing equations and keeping an equation balanced by adding/subtracting the same amount to both sides of the equation. Students solve missing value problems and justify their solutions.

Graphing Distance and Time: Travel

In this lesson designed to enhance literacy skills, students learn how to read and interpret a distance–time graph.

Math in Special Effects

Using segments and web interactives from Get the Math, this self-paced lesson helps students see how Algebra I can be applied in special effects, challenging them to use algebraic concepts and reasoning to calculate lighting high-speed effects like explosions.

Lifting with Levers

In this Cyberchase video segment, the CyberSquad figures out how to use a lever to help them remove a stack of heavy objects blocking their path.

Linking Number Patterns and Algebraic Expressions

Students practice using algebraic expressions by recording data from a video segment in which two staircases ascend at different rates. They record the patterns in two-column tables, draw line graphs and write simple algebraic relations.

Math in Basketball

Using segments and web interactives from Get the Math, this self-paced lesson helps students see how Algebra I can be applied in basketball, challenging them to use algebraic concepts and reasoning to calculate the perfect free throw shot.

Math in Fashion

Using segments and web interactives from Get the Math, this lesson helps students see how Algebra I can be applied to the world of fashion, challenging them to use algebraic concepts and reasoning to modify garments and meet target price points.

Math in Music

Using segments and web interactives from Get the Math, this lesson helps students see how Algebra I can be applied in the music world, challenging them to use algebraic concepts and reasoning to calculate the tempos of different music samples.

Math in Restaurants

Using segments and web interactives from Get the Math, this self-paced lesson helps students see how Algebra I can be applied to how restaurants price items on their menus.

Math in Videogames

Using video segments and web interactives from Get the Math, this lesson helps students see how Algebra I can be applied in the world of videogame design and challenges them to use algebraic concepts and reasoning to plot the linear paths of items in a videogame.

Quantus

This original animation from KET introduces Pythagoras’ belief that “all is number.” The virtual world of computer animation shows how the movement and shape of computer characters can be described with numbers, or “quantified.”

A Simple Balance

In this video segment from Cyberchase, Digit and the CyberSquad learn that equations are balanced when the same number is on each side.
