Students conduct an experiment to determine the relationship between the speed of a wooden toy car at the bottom of an incline and the height at which it is released. They observe how the photogate-based speedometer instrument "clocks" the average speed of an object (the train). They gather data and create graphs plotting the measured speed against start height. After the experiment, as an optional extension activity, students design brakes to moderate the speed of the cart at the bottom of the hill to within a specified speed range.

This task provides students with an opportunity to engage in Standard for Mathematical Practice 6, attending to precision. It intentionally omits some relevant information -- namely, that a typical soda can holds 12 oz of fluid, that a pound is equivalent to 16 dry ounces, and that an ounce of water weighs approximately 1.04 dry ounces (at the temperature of the human body) -- in the interest of having students discover that these are relevant quantities. The incompleteness of the problem statement makes the task more amenable to having students do work in groups.

This task uses geometry to find the perimeter of the track. Students may be surprised when their calculation does not give 400 meters but rather a smaller number.

The goal of this task is to model a familiar object, an Olympic track, using geometric shapes. Calculations of perimeters of these shapes explain the staggered start of runners in a 400 meter race.

The purpose of this task is for students to compare two fractions that arise in a context. Because the fractions are equal, students need to be able to explain how they know that.

This activity was designed for blind learners, but all types of learners can use it to understand general steps of setting up and running a small company.

In this task students use ratio and rate reasoning to solve the real-world problem of a runners rate and distance.

This task involves fraction multiplication and can be solved with pictures or number lines.

This task builds on a fifth grade fraction multiplication task, Ň5.NF Running to School, Variation 1.Ó This task uses the identical context, but asks the corresponding ŇNumber of Groups UnknownÓ division problem. See Ň6.NS Running to School, Variation 3Ó for the ŇGroup Size UnknownÓ version.

The purpose of this task is to help students extend their understanding of division of whole numbers to division of fractions, and given the simple numbers used, it is most appropriate for students just learning about fraction division because it lends itself easily to a pictorial solution.

Rupertsland Organization for Teaching and Learning has developed some excellent resources to learn about the Métis history in Alberta that are recommended for all educators. Resources are continually being added as they are created and approved in support of educators’ learning and teaching.

Découvrez le patrimoine et les traditions des Innus à travers leurs histoires et leur culture matérielle.

Selon la tradition orale innue, le monde est une île créée par le carcajou et le vison après un grand déluge. Les archives archéologiques montrent que les Innus et leurs ancêtres ont occupé une grande partie du Labrador et de l'est du Québec pendant deux mille ans ou plus. Les Innus se réfèrent à ce territoire comme étant le "Nitassinan".

L’élève aura l’occasion de pratiquer son écriture et sa communication orale en explorant le thème de Noël.

Ici on pratique l'écriture et la communication orale. Il y a aussi des documents à télécharger.

« Les activités détaillées qui suivent servent à aider les élèves à déterminer une solution efficace pour aider une personne qui fait face à un défi ou à une difficulté. (Cette leçon met l'accent sur l'aide à offrir à un nouveau venu à l'école ou dans la communauté; toutefois, elle peut être adaptée de manière à aborder d'autres situations.) »

Cette petite unité se sert du film « Venue de loin » (animation, 6 minutes) de Shira Avni et Serene El-haj Daoud, qui se trouve sur le site de l'ONF: https://www.onf.ca/distribution/film/venue_de_loin

Same But Different is a powerful routine for use in math classrooms. The activity of same but different is an activity where two things are compared, calling attention to both how they are the same and how they are different.

This apparent paradox is the beauty of the activity. It is important to notice the word BUT. Instead of making a choice – am I going to prove that these are the same or am I going to prove that they are different – students are considering how two items can be both. This is a critically important distinction.

Not same OR different, rather same BUT different.

There are categories for addition/subtraction, early numeracy, multiplication/division, measurement, place value, fractions, ratios, geometry, algebra, and high school math.

La situation d’apprentissage 60 secondes pour convaincre amène les élèves à réfléchir à un enjeu qui les touche de près : l’amélioration de leur milieu scolaire. L’activité les invite à bâtir une argumentation solide en présentant une thèse et des arguments convaincants à leurs camarades de classe.

Le but de cette SAÉ est de s’exercer à identifier et à placer des points sur un plan cartésien à quatre quadrants. À l’aide de coordonnées, les élèves devront tenter de reproduire le dessin d’un coéquipier.
