Multiplying decimals is a life skilled used in purchasing goods, cooking, and spending money.

After listening to excerpts from four of the violin concertos from "The Four Seasons" by Italian composer and violinist, Antonio Vivaldi, decide which excerpt was meant to go with which season, and also decide where the earth would be in relation to the sun at each season in this interactive computer activity from NASA.

In this lesson on literal equations, students will learn how to solve equations where the coefficients are variables.

In this lesson, students will learn how to multiply binomials using the FOIL method.

In this lesson on rational numbers, students will learn how to solve real-life problems involving rational numbers.

In this lesson on ratios, students explore how ratios can be used to demonstrate rates by exploring proportional relationships.

In this lesson, students will learn how to perform operations in scientific notation.

Student teams are challenged to design and build architecturally inspired cardboard furniture, guided by the steps of the engineering design process. They cultivate their industrial engineering and design skills to design furnishings that meet functional, aesthetic and financial requirements. Given constraints that include limited building materials and tools, groups research architectural styles and period furnishings. The teams brainstorm ideas, make small-scale quick prototypes, then make detailed plans and create full-scale prototypes of their best solutions. The full-size prototypes are evaluated by peer critique for aesthetic alignment to the targeted architectural style and tested for functionality. After final refinements, teams present their concepts and display their final prototype furnishings in an exhibition.

Student groups use a "real" 3D coordinate system to plot points in space. Made from balsa wood or wooden dowels, the system has three axes at right angles and a plane (the XY plane) that can slide up and down the Z axis. Students are given several coordinates and asked to find these points in space. Then they find the coordinates of the eight corners of a box/cube with given dimensions.

Module 1 sets the stage for expanding students' understanding of transformations by exploring the notion of linearity.  This leads to the study of complex numbers and linear transformations in the complex plane.  The teacher materials consist of the teacher pages including exit tickets, exit ticket solutions, and all student materials with solutions for each lesson in Module 1.

The students will be taking a summative assessment about rates and unit rates.

This interactive activity adapted from the Wisconsin Online Resource Center challenges you to plan, measure, and calculate the correct amount of roofing material needed to reroof a house.

College-level electrical engineering textbook starting from the Coulomb-Lorentz force law on a point charge. Sample problems that reinforce the content are found at the end of each chapter. Includes downloadable excerpts of the textbook and a solutions manual.

Build a device to accomplish a fun task. Accept a design trade-off challenge of using only a set amount of simple materials, as if you were stuck on a desert island, to make your device work.

Build your own mini LED lightsaber with a straw in this quick Star Wars-themed STEM activity.

In this project, you will estimate the circumference of the earth, using a method developed about 2,200 years ago, by Eratosthenes, a Greek mathematician and the librarian of the great library at Alexandria, in Egypt.
