How we personalized it? What needed to be changed and why?
We went to Loreburn to experience their personalized math program first hand and loved it. On the return drive home to Eaton, we decided to make the commitment to personalize math for our students.
We made this decision because we noticed that students were not engaged and their attitudes towards math were negative; math was either “too difficult”, “too easy”, or they were just
going through the motions. We found that students had gaps in both their math knowledge
and skills and that the gaps were in a variety of places. In order to fill those gaps in a
meaningful way, as well as for students to continue their math journey by earning their
knowledge, we chose implement a personalized or blended learning approach.

An interactive applet and associated web page that show the definition and properties of a square when applied in coordinate geometry. The applet has a square, and the user can drag any vertex to resize it. It shows how to calculate the side lengths and diagonal length given the vertex coordinates. The grid and coordinates can be turned on and off. The applet can be printed as it appears on the screen to make handouts. The web page has a full definition of a square when the coordinates of the points defining it are known, and has links to other pages relating to coordinate geometry. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector. This resource is a component of the Math Open Reference Interactive Geometry textbook project at http://www.mathopenref.com.

Students analyze and begin to design a pyramid. Working in engineering teams, they perform calculations to determine the area of the pyramid base, stone block volumes, and the number of blocks required for their pyramid base. They make a scaled drawing of the pyramid using graph paper.

As we near the end of the series, we're going look at how statistics impacts our lives. Today, we're going to discuss how statistics is often used and misused in the courtroom. We're going to focus on three stories in which three huge statistical errors were made: the handwriting analysis of French officer Alfred Dreyfus in 1894, the murder charges of mother Sally Clark in 1998, and the expulsion of student Jonathan Dorfman from UC San Diego in 2011.

This is a website full of resources for PowerPoint and projector and students to see math visually through games.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate straight angles (those equal to 180 deg). The applet presents an angle (initially acute) that the user can adjust by dragging the end points of the line segments forming the angle. As it changes it shows the angle measure and a message that indicate which type of angle it is. There a software 'detents' that make it easy capture exact angles such as 90 degrees and 180 degrees The message and angle measures can be turned off to facilitate classroom discussion. The text on the page has links to other pages defining each angle type in depth. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

This is not just for summer! If students are finding Everfi's Hockey Scholar too difficult - this is a great alternative option.

Each summer, students lose critical math and literacy skills, which can widen the achievement gap among students. To prevent this “summer slide,” EVERFI has partnered with Major League Baseball to develop a continuous and engaging learning experience that prepares students of all backgrounds to enter the next school year on track. The 18-week program, targeted to 4th and 5th graders, unlocks activities at regular intervals and offers rewards for progress and consistency along the way. Students engage with content that reinforces critical math and language skills while enjoying the freedom and motivation of a baseball-themed, game-based learning experience.

This Course Covers
Units of Measure
Place Value
Arithmetic
Geometry
Spelling
Phonemic Awareness
Vocabulary
Comprehension

This school division developed handbook offers many reading strategies that are applicable for use in the content areas.

Daily lessons and educational activities that kids can do on their own . Topics include reading, writing, science and math, health, language, art, music, fun and games.

We've talked a lot about modeling data and making inferences about it, but today we're going to look towards the future at how machine learning is being used to build models to predict future outcomes. We'll discuss three popular types of supervised machine learning models: Logistic Regression, Linear discriminant Analysis (or LDA) and K Nearest Neighbors (or KNN). For a broader overview of machine learning, check out our episode in Crash Course Computer Science!

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate supplementary angles (two angles that add to 180 degrees.) The applet shows two angles which, while not adjacent, are drawn to strongly suggest visually that they add to a straight angle. Any point defining the angle scan be dragged, and as you do so, the other angle changes to remain supplementary to the one you change. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

The world turns on symmetry -- from the spin of subatomic particles to the dizzying beauty of an arabesque. But there's more to it than meets the eye. Here, Oxford mathematician Marcus du Sautoy offers a glimpse of the invisible numbers that marry all symmetrical objects. Oxford's newest science ambassador Marcus du Sautoy is also author of The Times' Sexy Maths column. He'll take you footballing with prime numbers, whopping symmetry groups, higher dimensions and other brow-furrowers. A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 18-minute video. Educators may use the platform to easily "Flip" or create their own lesson for use with their students of any age or level.

Today we're going to walk through a couple of statistical approaches to answer the question: "is coffee from the local cafe, Caf-fiend, better than that other cafe, The Blend Den?" We'll build a two sample t-test which will tell us how many standard errors away from the mean our observed difference is in our tasting experiment, and then we'll introduce a matched pair t-tests which allow us to remove variation in the experiment. All of these approaches rely on the test statistic framework we introduced last episode.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate a tangent to a circle. (not trig). The applet shows a circle and a tangent line. The center point and the tangent contact point are both draggable. As you drag each, the figure changes to ensure that the line is always tangential to the circle. The line from the center to the tangent point is shown and the angle is shown to be always 90 degrees no matter what you do. The perpendicular and its angle can be turned off for class discussion. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

An interactive applet and associated web page that demonstrate the tangent to an ellipse. An ellipse is shown and a tangent line that touches it at the one point. The user can drag the tangent point around the ellipse and the tangent follows. The ellipse can be reshaped by dragging the foci. The applet shows the fact that the two lines from the foci to the tangent meet it at equal angles. The web page has the written properties of the tangent and links to other pages defining the various properties of an ellipse and to some ellipse constructions. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.

Test statistics allow us to quantify how close things are to our expectations or theories. Instead of going on our gut feelings, they allow us to add a little mathematical rigor when asking the question: “Is this random… or real?” Today, we’ll introduce some examples using both t-tests and z-tests and explain how critical values and p-values are different ways of telling us the same information. We’ll get to some other test statistics like F tests and chi-square in a future episode.

A web page and interactive applet illustrating the properties of a tetragon (4 sided polygon). The applet shows a tetragon where the user can drag any vertex to reshape the polygon. User can see that the interior and exterior angles are constant in a regular tetragon, but vary in an irregular version. Controls allow the display or hiding of the diagonals, and triangles within the tetragon. The web page lists the properties of a tetragon including interior angles, exterior angles, sum of exterior angles, area, number of diagonals and number of internal triangles. Links to pages with generalized properties of all polygons. Applet can be enlarged to full screen size for use with a classroom projector.
