"Quick, grab-and-go lessons to help your students think critically about AI and its impact.

Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly transforming the world we live in. From using generative AI for schoolwork to dealing with misinformation and befriending AI chatbots, students have a lot to consider when it comes to this ever-evolving technology.

This collection of quick lessons (20 minutes or less!) provide an introduction to AI and help address its social and ethical impacts. Through these lessons, students will:

Understand what AI is and how it works
Consider some of its potential benefits and risks
Think critically about how we can be responsible and ethical users of AI"

This is the third of three lessons that make the connection between programming and algorithms. In this lesson students continue to work with the "Human Machine Language" to get creative designing more algorithms for playing cards. One command is added to the language from the previous lesson (SWAP) that allows positions of cards to change. With the addition of swap the challenge is to design an algorithm that will move the minimum card to the front of the list while keeping the relative order of all the other cards the same. If that is achieved some other Human Machine Language challenges are available.

"Learners use Python and the Pygal graphing library to visualize data about one of the most important issues facing our country: greenhouse gas emissions and their relation to climate change."

"What happens when your students have a platform that allows them to envision the impact they make in the world? In this lesson, your students will learn how to use CoSpaces to build their own 3D creations, animate them with code (using block coding) and explore the topic of virtual reality."

Note - you do NOT need VR sets to do this lesson.

"A Wonderville quick tips video on computational thinking.

In this video, learn about how to introduce coding and programming into your class by first adopting computational thinking practices. Discover what computational thinking is, it's benefits for your students, and examples that can give them the opportunity to practice this mindset and skill through exact instructions activities.

In this 25-day module of Grade 4, students extend their work with whole numbers.  They begin with large numbers using familiar units (hundreds and thousands) and develop their understanding of millions by building knowledge of the pattern of times ten in the base ten system on the place value chart (4.NBT.1).  They recognize that each sequence of three digits is read as hundreds, tens, and ones followed by the naming of the corresponding base thousand unit (thousand, million, billion).

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

En este módulo de 25 días de grado 4, los estudiantes extienden su trabajo con números enteros. Comienzan con grandes números utilizando unidades familiares (cientos y miles) y desarrollan su comprensión de millones al desarrollar el conocimiento del patrón de tiempos diez en el sistema Base Ten en la tabla de valor del lugar (4.nbt.1). Reconocen que cada secuencia de tres dígitos se lee como cientos, decenas y, seguidas de la denominación de la base correspondiente, mil unidad (mil, millones, mil millones).

This book is about complexity science, data structures and algorithms, intermediate programming in Python, and the philosophy of science. This book focuses on discrete models, which include graphs, cellular automata, and agent-based models. They are often characterized by structure, rules and transitions rather than by equations. They tend to be more abstract than continuous models; in some cases there is no direct correspondence between the model and a physical system.
