- Coordinate plane artwork
- For this lesson students will go to the computer lab and use the General Coordinate Game applet created by the Shodor Foundation to obtain a more specific understanding of the coordinate plane, its parts, and how it can be used to graph points. Afterward, the students will practice using the coordinate plane by drawing a picture on a coordinate plane and then writing out directions (using coordinates) for that picture to be replicated exactly by another student, who will not see the picture but will follow the directions.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 5–6 Mathematics)
- By Erin Foerster.
- Creating and understanding circles and their parts
- This lesson will offer a hands-on opportunity to explore and construct circles. Students will develop a definition for identifying the parts of a circle such as the center, radius, diameter, chord, and circumference. Students will use compasses and rulers in constructing these parts of a circle.
- Format: lesson plan (grade 6–7 Mathematics)
- By Patricia Tingen.
- Creating community in the classroom: Part 1 (setting goals )
- This series of lessons is designed to help develop a sense of classroom community. Group goal-setting, brainstorming, peer feedback, group decision-making, positive reinforcement, and positive peer pressure are used to create a safe, supportive environment for learning in the classroom.
In Part 1, students are introduced to the goal-setting process. They will practice the first step of the process as they set individual and class behavioral goals. - Format: lesson plan (grade 1–8 Guidance)
- By Pat Nystrom.
- Creating community in the classroom: Part 2 (cooperative planning)
- This series of lessons is designed to help develop a sense of classroom community through use of group goal-setting, decision-making, brainstorming, peer feedback, positive reinforcement, and positive peer pressure. The lessons will help students create and maintain a supportive environment for learning. Part 1 focused on goal-setting process and practice. In Part 2, students will apply knowledge of the goal-setting process by cooperatively creating a plan to work on group goals.
