Estimation Meets Math Mysteries

Introducing Esti-Mysteries! Each image invites students to wonder what number is represented by the image. As you click through the each Esti-Mystery, clues will appear that will allow the students to use math concepts to narrow the set of possibilities to a small set of numbers. In the end, the students will need to call upon their estimation skills to solve the mystery and find the missing number.

Code.org® is an education innovation nonprofit dedicated to the vision that every student in every school has the opportunity to learn computer science as part of their core K-12 education. The program increases diversity in computer science by reaching students of all backgrounds where they are — at their skill-level, in their schools, and in ways that inspire them to keep learning.

ESTIMATION 180 is a place for both students and teachers to enjoy making sense of math and develop their number sense together. Pick from over 200 visual estimation tasks that invite all your students to be part of rich math conversations and learning.

Each task begins with a question where student must analyze the evidence in the photo to answer the question. It provides lots of success for students who have different levels of thinking, and allows them to succeed even without getting the correct answer.

Give a 5 question mixed review quiz to students every Friday.The questions can focus on current learning, but should also include questions from the entire year (especially concepts needed for next week's lessons, or foundational items that need to be mastered). This strategy will help develop mastery, provide opportunities for mixed practice to ensure comprehension beyond specific learning content.  

The National Hockey League (NHL) and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) have partnered to launch the Future Goals program, a North-American initiative that provides K-12 students with STEM education. EVERFI’s Hockey Scholar course, with both a math and science edition, leverages highly interactive gameplay and the sport of hockey to reinforce key concepts like scientific thinking and data analysis, exposing students to foundational STEM concepts through real-life applications.
This Course Covers Foundational STEM Concepts Scientific Thinking,Data/Graphical Analysis

Uncover The Ice - Students derive area formula and proper units of measurement to calculate the area of each section of ice as they remove covering.
Area, units, unit square, square meters, formula 4 SS4.2 5 SS5.1-4 6 SS6.2 7 SS7.2 8 SS8.2-3

Paint The Ice - Students apply knowledge of geometric figures and coordinate planes to paint the ice rink. Point, coordinate, x/y-axis, line, chord, segment, parallel, right angle, congruent perpendicular, diameter, radius5 SS5.5 6 SS6.3-47 SS7.1-5

The Pass - Students measure and find patterns between angles lying on a straight line, by setting up a pass that bounces off the boards and discover the Law of Reflection based on their data. Protractor, degrees, right angle, straight angles, Law of Reflection, adjacent angles 6 SS6.1, SS6.3 7 SS7.1, SS7.3 8 OP8.1

The purpose of this booklet is to cover the units on multiplying and dividing in grade 4 math.Included is ten topics with the step-by-step process of:Launch - Video for studentsTeacher TimeWork TimeTechnology TimeSelf-Assessment*adding extra practice sheets or assignments would be an optionThis resource was created by Shawna Moreside.

Math Antics has amazing videos to explain concepts for Math. The videos are very clear and explicit and students love them. All of the video lessons are FREE.

There are also follow up exercises, videos and worksheets that students can use to solidify learning - but you will be required to pay $20 a year to access these. hat being said, it's super useful even without a paid account!

The videos are organized by strand, and all are free.

They cover numeracy, arithmetic, algorithms, fractions, mixed numbers, percentages, ratios, geometry, statistics, measurement, exponents, integers & algebra, algebra 1-3

This project is best completed prior to reading the novel, Mistasiniy:  Buffalo Rubbing Stone by Mary Harelkin Bishop to avoid influence of references in the text.  The original size of the Lake Diefenbaker mistasiniy is introduced in the novel's preface, while the size of the mistasiniy on Danny’s family’s land is mentioned on page 109 as part of Rose’s diary.   Students will work individually on a math inquiry problem challenging students to solve questions using estimation, approximations, geometry, analytical thinking, creative thinking, communication, and technology skills. Cross-curricular connections can be made with ELA, Social Studies, Science, and Arts Education. More information on bison/buffalo rubbing stones 

"These Math Screeners were developed in response to the need expressed by teachers for a tool that would aid them in identifying specific skills and concepts where there were ‘gaps.’ Having this data will allow teachers to respond more effectively to students’ learning needs."

Welcome to the Mathematics Shed, there are a whole host of free resources and links on this site. So many grade levels and math outcomes covered by various themes such as Lego, Star Wars, Encanto, Minions, Superheroes and many others. The website includes a "Starter of the Day" activity, visuals, games, printables, number talks, word problems and mental math activities.

This Website allows you to directly locate and find lessons through the SK curriculum and has specific activities aligned with a number of different SK Subject Outcomes.

This novel study was completed by embedding the principles of structured literacy with reading and writing activities for both sides of Scarborough's Reading Rope.  The ELA is a guide to personalize based upon the needs of your students. Aligning to a Saskatchewan theme, the students will also make connections to Indigenous Perspectives and the mistasiniy found in the prairies.  The driving question, "How are we all connected to the land", introduces a variety of resources connected to the story focused on all areas of education. 

PhET Sims are now available in HTML5 as well!
