This is a super simple printmaking project for kids. Students cut shapes out of craft foam to glue onto cardboard, creating their own unique collagraph.

In this resource, the authors describe how to use scratch foam to create easy printmaking projects for kids.

Use a simple set of geometric blocks and paint to create a Paul Klee-inspired piece.

Rainbow anything is beautiful but these leaf prints combine the colors of the rainbow with the delicate details of leaves for a finished product you just want to keep looking at!

In this lesson, the authors describe how to use washable markers and Styrofoam trays to create unique "prints."

In this lesson, students paint plastic bags, create an image or a pattern in the paint, then "stamp" it onto a fresh piece of paper.

Today we’re going to begin our discussion of probability. We’ll talk about how the addition (OR) rule, the multiplication (AND) rule, and conditional probabilities help us figure out the likelihood of sequences of events happening - from optimizing your chances of having a great night out with friends to seeing Cole Sprouse at IHop!

Today we're going to introduce bayesian statistics and discuss how this new approach to statistics has revolutionized the field from artificial intelligence and clinical trials to how your computer filters spam! We'll also discuss the Law of Large Numbers and how we can use simulations to help us better understand the "rules" of our data, even if we don't know the equations that define those rules.

In this 4 lesson unit plan students will examine identity and ways to solve problems of portrayal through caricature. Discussions about the 'beauty myth' self concept and risk taking will be explored as students examine the work of artists and create their personal self portrait.

From The University of Waterloo:

"Many instructors in engineering, math and science have students solve “problems”. But are their students solving true problems or mere exercises? The former stresses critical thinking and decision­-making skills whereas the latter requires only the application of previously learned procedures. True problem solving is the process of applying a method – not known in advance – to a problem that is subject to a specific set of conditions and that the problem solver has not seen before, in order to obtain a satisfactory solution."

Details are provided on the principles of problem-solving as well as each step of the process outlined below:

Define the Problem
Think About it
Plan a Solution
Carry Out the Plan
Look Back

Join over 20 million students, teachers, and parents using our free, curriculum-aligned math game for Grades 1 - 8.

Prodigy is a free, Pokemon-style math game that has been proven to improve student scores and confidence! It is aligned to the Ontario curriculum for grades 1-6, and features content from each of the five major strands.

Prodigy was designed with three primary goals in mind:
1. To create deep engagement so students double their math practice time at home.
2. To equip teachers with reports and assessment tools to inform their instruction.
3. To provide curriculum aligned content for free, regardless of a student’s demographic.

Teachers can create assignments and assessments, align them curriculum, and check in on progress. The program automatically adapts to students who are struggling or excelling, but teacher's also have the option to override grade levels to adapt and modify for individual students. Parents can connect and see what their child is working on, and students can access the program from any computer or tablet.

**NOTE - For FREE summer or at home access, ask your child's teacher to create an account!

Today, Carrie Anne is going to start our overview of the fundamental building blocks of programming languages. We’ll start by creating small programs for our very own video game to show how statements and functions work. We aren’t going to code in a specific language, but we’ll show you how conditional statements like IF and ELSE statements, WHILE loops, and FOR loops control the flow of programs in nearly all languages, and then we’ll finish by packaging up these instructions into functions that can be called by our game to perform more and more complex actions.
