Be sure to read the Discussion Questions, along with the other materials under the Support Materials for Use with Students section to fully teach the standard.
Your students will learn estimation and capacity with this game from Peg + Cat. How many buckets of water will it take to fill the tub for Peg and Cat? Try to estimate (a fancy word for guess). Let’s dump water into the tub and find out!
Peg's friends want new hairstyles. Practice counting skills and learn about longer and shorter while performing a set of hair styling actions in a particular order.
Peg is taking a trip to the mall and needs your help to pick out items for her list based on requested shape and color attributes. After finding the right objects, practice money skills by adding together the cost of the items and paying the correct amount at the register.
Use this Peg + Cat video to teach children about counting, cardinality, and representing the number 20. Peg and Cat aren't tired, so they watch Ramone and Pig's music video about the numbers between 1 and 20.
Romeo and Juliet want to be a pair, but cannot reach each other because their lines are parallel. After watching this video, kids should be more familiar with the properties of vertical, horizontal, and parallel lines.
Teach your students about the composition and decomposition of shapes with the help of this game from Peg + Cat. Help Super Peg and Cat Guy protect the citizens of Mathtropolis. Shapes all over the city have been taken apart and it is up to these heroes to put them back together and save the day!
Create awesomely symmetrical artwork by using a paintbrush, stamps, and stickers in this online game with Peg and Cat.
Peg, Cat, and the Parrot are judging a talent competition and need to make sure each contestant receives exactly 10 points. As you read through this interactive storybook, think about what number Peg can add to Parrot's score to make sure each contestant receives a perfect 10.
This video is a song about the teens! Kids will better understand what the teens are: ten plus a single digit number. Remind kids of this trick when they are learning how to write and count the teens.
Students explore percentages of quantities other than 100 and 1 in a variety of contexts. All of the tasks use comparison contexts—describing one quantity relative to another quantity—rather than part-whole contexts.
Students can continue to use the double number lines as a reasoning tool. The equal intervals on the double number line are useful for reasoning about percentages. In addition, using the same representation that was used for other ratio and rate reasoning reinforces the idea of a percentage as a rate per 100 (MP7). Students should also be encouraged to use other strategies to solve percentage problems.
Grade 6, Episode 7: Unit 3, Lesson 11 | Illustrative Math
In this media gallery, students will interact with clips from Ken Burns' Mark Twain. After watching these clips and engaging with the associated discussion questions, students will analyze how Mark Twain's (Samuel Clemens') perspective and point of view evolved over time.
This resource provides an opportunity for students to build background knowledge about the author and use that knowledge to analyze his cultural perspective.
Explore intriguing appearances of pi and the Fibonacci sequence outside of mathematics in this video from NOVA: The Great Math Mystery. Although well-known in mathematics, the numbers of the Fibonacci sequence are also frequently found in the natural world, such as in the number of petals on flowers and the number of spirals of a pinecone. Pi is commonly recognized as a number that relates a circle's circumference to its diameter but it also appears in many other phenomena. For example, pi is related to the probability that a dropped needle will cut a series of parallel lines; it also can be used to calculate the length of a meandering river.
Students write a journal entry in which they imagine themselves as the rhinoceros and describe its journey to a new preserve.
Students will watch two video segments in order to take notes and answer questions about the relocation of the black rhinoceros to wildlife preserves across Africa. Using this background information, students will write a journal entry in which they imagine themselves as the rhinoceros and describe its journey to a new preserve.
Experiment with the volume of two cylinders made from the same size paper. This interactive exercise focuses on using what you know about cylinders to make a prediction about their volume and then requires calculating the actual volume to see if your prediction was accurate.
Explore the relationship between graphic patterns and their mathematical representation. This video focuses on how fractals can be a visual representation of positive exponents. This video was submitted through the Innovation Math Challenge, a contest open to professional and nonprofessional producers.
In this program, we learn that the power of a quotient is equal to the quotient obtained when the dividend and divisor are each raised to the indicated power separately before the division is performed.
In this video lesson, students consolidate their equation writing and solving skills. They solve a variety of equations with different structures. Then they match equations to situations and solve them. Students may choose any strategy to solve equations, including drawing diagrams to reason about unknown quantities, looking at the structure of the equation, or doing the same thing to each side of the equation. Students choose efficient tools and strategies for specific problems, helping them develop flexibility and fluency in writing and solving equations.
Learn about the math behind predator-prey population cycles in this video from NOVA Digital. In this example, zombie and human populations fluctuate. The zombie population increases as zombies convert humans into zombies. However, without enough humans to eat, zombies die and the population shrinks. The human population increases as humans reproduce but decreases as zombies eat humans. The populations of humans and zombies change through time according to a pair of differential equations. Because human and zombie populations are related, the growth rate of each population depends on the current numbers of both humans and zombies.
Pronoun case is determined by how we use the pronoun in a sentence. There are three ways: subjective, when the pronoun does something; objective, when something is done to our pronoun; and possessive when our pronoun possesses something.
