In this learning activity, students will learn to add or subtract two vectors. The activity will teach the students that they simply add or subtract their components. In other words, add the x component of the first vector to the x component of the second and so on for y and z. The answers the students will get from adding or subtracting the x, y, and z components of their original vectors are the x, y, and z components of their new vector. This learning activity should be used as an introductory activity.

The students will be asked to consider the vector in the diagram of the teaching video. They will answer the following questions: What are the coordinates of the terminal point? What are the coordinates of the initial point? And what are the components of the vector? This learning activity can be used as a stand-alone activity or an introductory activity.
This learning activity is a great introductory activity that allows the students to build equal groups using arrays. Students will build designs of desk arrangements in a classroom using counters or unifix cubes. Students must take 24 desks and divide them into equal groups to create a classroom desk arrangement. Students will write a multiplication and division equation for each arrangement. This will help students see the relationship between multiplication and division.
This activity introduces students to volume by encouraging them to consider how to measure solids in three dimensions. Students are presented with multiple arrays and must count objects to measure volume using a non-standard unit. Students are asked to explain their thinking and engage in mathematical conversations with their peers.

This exploration provides students the opportunity to actively engage in creating their own knowledge about exponential models. They are given the support to conduct their own simulation and record the information, make predictions using the data that they have collected, and compare their predictions to the technology generated models. Additionally, the technology element is necessary to make sense of the data in a more efficient manner as compared to hand calculations of procedures. The emphasis is to produce a deep conceptual understanding of rates of change of exponential functions in multiple representations and use that information to build up procedural fluency.
