On March 8, 2024, the Sasktachewan Human Rights Commission hosted a public information session to discuss it's Equitable Education for Students with Reading Disabilities initiative.

Planning for the resource to the SK Human Rights Commission on "Equitable Education for Students with Reading Disabilities".

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach second graders an overview - equivalent decimals ending in zero.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to give fourth graders an overview of - equivalent decimals ending in zero.

This short video and interactive assessment activity is designed to teach third graders an overview - thousandths.

In this problem students must transform expressions using the distributive, commutative and associative properties to decide which expressions are equivalent.

The purpose of this task is to directly address a common misconception held by many students who are learning to solve equations. Because a frequent strategy for solving an equation with fractions is to multiply both sides by a common denominator (so all the coefficients are integers), students often forget why this is an "allowable" move in an equation and try to apply the same strategy when they see an expression.

This is a standard problem phrased in a non-standard way. Rather than asking students to perform an operation, expanding, it expects them to choose the operation for themselves in response to a question about structure. The problem aligns with A-SSE.2 because it requires students to see the factored form as a product of sums, to which the distributive law can be applied.

The purpose of the task is to get students to reflect on the definition of decimals as fractions (or sums of fractions), at a time when they are seeing them primarily as an extension of the base-ten number system and may have lost contact with the basic fraction meaning. Students also have their understanding of equivalent fractions and factors reinforced.

The accuracy and simplicity of this experiment are amazing. A wonderful project for students, which would necessarily involve team work with a different school and most likely a school in a different state or region of the country, would be to try to repeat Eratosthenes' experiment.

This art history video discussion examines the Caryatid (South Porch) and Ionic Column (North Porch), Erechtheion on the Acropolis, Athens, marble, 421-407 B.C.E. (British Museum, London). Mnesicles may have been the architect.

This lesson is designed to supplement a high school English class reading The Crucible or a high school history class studying the Salem Witch Trials. Students will understand one theory of the cause of the witch trials and how they could have been prevented.

Is the beloved paper dictionary doomed to extinction? In this infectiously exuberant talk, leading lexicographer Erin McKean looks at the many ways today's print dictionary is poised for transformation. As the CEO and co-founder of new online dictionary Wordnik, Erin McKean is reshaping not just dictionaries, but how we interact with language itself. A quiz, thought provoking question, and links for further study are provided to create a lesson around the 16-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.

Students learn about water erosion through an experimental process in which small-scale buildings are placed along a simulated riverbank to experience a range of flooding conditions. They learn how soil conditions are important to the stability or failure of civil engineering projects and how a river's turns and bends (curvature, sinuosity) make a difference in the likelihood of erosion. They make model buildings either with a 3D printer or with LEGO® pieces and then see how their designs and riverbank placements are impacted by slow (laminar) and fast (turbulent) water flow over the soil. Students make predictions, observations and conclusions about the stability of their model houses, and develop ideas for how to mitigate damage in civil engineering projects.

"The beginning of the school year is a great time to get an overview of students’ writing skills. This article will help you use our baseline essay-writing assessments to evaluate student writing and plan your instruction based on the results."

The Essay Map is an interactive graphic organizer that enables students to organize and outline their ideas for an informational, definitional, or descriptive essay.

A simple hierarchical, planning map for essay creation with a few "Keep in Minds."

This site offers an English-language essay writing system. It allows you to put your ideas in the right place, in the right way.

"Support the transition to virtual learning and help students think critically and compassionately about what they see online."

Lessons for a wide variety of grades 3-12 grouped according to:
