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.

Working with either Edison or Microbit systems, students will gain an understanding of the importance of automation in agriculture while working together to complete a series of fun coding activities. Note: This resource is designed to compliment the Edison and Microbit courses offered through SaskCode. Edison and Microbit systems are not supplied by AITC-SK. You will need to have an AITC SK account and log in to access this resource.

Through the activities within this toolkit, students will gain an understanding of the importance of nature and how all living things are connected. These resources are geared towards students in grades 6-8.

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.

Ever wanted to take your students on an exciting journey? What if you could take that journey from the comfort of the classroom or out-of-school learning environment? Welcome to Mission to Mars!

Over the course of these lessons, you and your students will learn about and plan a mission to Mars. Your students will apply their creativity and science and math knowledge to explore the Red Planet. Not a scientist or engineer? That's okay! You're going to learn everything you need to know while preparing for and conducting these lessons. And you actually already have some engineering skills, whether you know it or not.

In this unit, students learn about Mars, design a mission to explore the planet, build and test model spacecraft and components, and engage in scientific exploration. The unit takes students through seven stages, including learning about the planet, planning the mission, designing the spacecraft, launching, landing, surface operations, and sample handling.

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 Shot - Students explore the interaction between applied force and frictional force and use this knowledge to hit specific targets on the ice.
Force, magnitude, direction, friction, Newton’s 1st Law 5 FM5.1-3 6 FL6.2

Speed - Students record and calculate a player’s average speed (using d = v/t formula) over short and long sprint distances Rate, units of distance (m, km, mi), trials, average, rounding, formula 5 SP5.3 6 SP6.1, N6.8 7 SP7.1-2 8 P8.1, N8.3

The Skate Blades - Students help players stop on a certain target based on the radius of hollow of their skate blades, and use this data to figure out the correlation between radius of hollow and stopping distance. Variables, radius, correlation 5 P5.1, FM5.1 6 P6.1, P6.3, FL6.3 7 P7.1, SS7.2, SP7.2 8 P8.1

This is a PeBL based project where students are required to follow / research the NCAA March Madness College Basketball tournament. Each grade's assignment and tasks are based off of the Math Stats and Probability outcomes and indicators. Hands on learning and lots of fun! 

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

"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.
