Math Gizmos – 3 new sets of Lesson Materials
The math content team is happy to report that we've published 3 new sets of Lesson Materials!
Using Algebraic Expressions Gizmo
Finding Factors with Area Models Gizmo
Isosceles and Equilateral Triangles Gizmo
As always, logged-in teachers will have access to all 4 of our Lesson Material documents (Student Exploration sheet, Exploration Sheet Answer Key, Teacher Guide, and Vocabulary sheet), available either as a Word document (for easy editing if you like) or as a pdf (smaller file size).
It's an assortment of topics in this batch – from writing algebraic expressions, to number sense (with prime numbers and factor trees), to triangles. We hope you'll find these useful, and will help you bring inquiry and real understanding to these topics for your students. (It's a fun challenge to walk students through these lessons with questions rather than just telling them what they need to know. Good questions + a Gizmo can be a powerful formula for understanding rather than memorizing. That's always what we're after.)
This brings us up to 32 math Gizmos with new Lesson Materials now, as part of our Math Update project! Lots of outlines and drafts are in progress, so stay tuned for more updated Lesson Materials to come.
