Spring Action Lab: A Bouncy and Engaging STEM Lab
Students will enjoy putting their learning to work in this engaging lab. Using springs or rubber bands, students measure and record data as they try to get a bucket to touch the floor by adding weights. Then they use their data and its graph to make predictions and write equations that will help them predict the outcomes. This simple and inexpensive lab will help your students learn graphing, t-tables, measurement, linear functions, and the physics of tension forces. This can be used as a stand-

Teaching Area Formulas: Making Geometry Make Sense
Students will move through a seamless transition from finding the areas of squares to rectangles, parallelograms, triangles, and trapezoids.. The area formula for each polygon will build upon those they have already learned ensuring more retention and understanding of the formulas.Then they will apply these formulas to find the areas of complex shapes — the areas of states — as they apply their skills to problem-solving situations.
Losing Your Marbles: Function Connections You Can See
This visual demonstration/lab helps students make complete sense of functions. Topics addressed include slope, y-intercept, rise & run, slope-intercept form, domain & range, independent & dependent variables, and line of best fit. Whole number, fractional, and positive and negative slopes are addressed.
Adaptations make the lesson accessible to both younger and more advanced students.

Ruler Fractions: Helping Students See Fractions, Decimals, and Percent
This activity allows students to see the relationships between fractions, decimals, and percents. It accomplishes this by using a visual model and fractions of halves, fourths and eighths. These denominators are more understandable to beginning students. This eases them into the lesson. Then they progress to thirds, fifths, sixths, tenths, and twelfths later. Part whole concepts are presented concurrently as fractions, decimals, and percent representations.
