RESOURCE	GRADE LEVEL	MEDIA TYPE
From Patterns of Input and Output to Algebraic Equations Students explore the relationship between input and output values and learn to use algebraic expressions and equations.	4-8	Lesson Plan
Finding the Right Combination of Clothes In this video segment from Cyberchase, Harry has a fixed budget for clothing, so he must figure out what combination of jackets and pants he can buy with $100.	4-8	Video
Find Those Gleamers The CyberSquad uses algebra to figure out how many gleamers they need and how many power glows are produced by each gleamer as they must power up a Cyberspace ship in this video from Cyberchase.	4-8	Video
Frog Hops, Part 1 The CyberSquad tries to figure out how Hacker’s cyberfrog moves when its various buttons are pressed, in this video from Cyberchase.	4-8	Video
Frog Hops, Part 2 In this video from Cyberchase, the CyberSquad must figure out the new input/output pattern on Hacker’s larger cyberfrog.	4-8	Video
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.	5-8	Lesson Plan
Speed of Ascent In this video segment from Cyberchase, Hacker and the CyberSquad race to reach the Good Vibration on staircases that grow at different rates and have steps of varying sizes.	5-8	Video
Staircases of Shangri-La Hacker and the CyberSquad use two different staircases as they race to reach the Good Vibration in this video segment from Cyberchase.	5-8	Video
Using Two Variables to Express Algebraic Relationships Students are introduced to algebraic expressions that use more than one variable and have multiple solutions. They figure out combinations of two items at different costs, with each combination adding up to 100.	4-7	Lesson Plan
Using Variables in Simple Equations Students are introduced to simple algebra and are asked to solve for the value of different variables.	4-7	Lesson Plan
