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.

Culture is crucial. Teachers want to build it in the classroom. School administrators want to build it in their schools. How do we build relationships with students, set standards, and make school a place where students want to be?

The classroom is a good place to start. This video shares 5 ways to build school culture with your interactive display.

Samsung has a fantastic interactive display called the Samsung Interactive Pro. This is the tool being used in the video, but the same strategies can be used with any interactive display device.

Here are the 5 ways to build school culture with your interactive display:
#1 - Classroom Rules and Norms Brainstorming Session
#2 - Get to Know You Unboxing Video Activity
#3 - Create a Digital Appreciation Board
#4 - Create a Class Banner or Quilt
#5 - Do a Digital "What Do You Remember" Activity

Un site de France pour l'enseignement des mathématiques, avec des leçons (cours), exercices (avec correction), et exercices répétitifs de calcul mental. Plusieurs fichiers sont disponibles aussi en format PDF.

« Tout élève qui souhaite s'entraîner peut trouver dans ce site des exercices corrigés correspondants à sa classe.
Les niveaux 6e, 5e, 4e et 3e couvrent l'ensemble du programme. Il n'y a ni compétition ni enjeu. Une solution est disponible à tout moment. Ce n'est le plus souvent qu'une solution parmi d'autres.

*Sauf indication contraire, il faut donner la réponse des exercices interactifs, s'il s'agit d'un nombre décimal, avec une virgule. Dans les exercices répétitifs, les nombres sont générés par l'ordinateur, il faut écrire les décimaux avec un point à la place de la virgule.*

Les exercices et les résumés de cours sont signalés de la façon suivante :

-Un résumé du cours : En géométrie, les images mobiles ou les animations flash permettent de visualiser les notions abordées.
-Exercice corrigé : Des exercices pour s'entraîner, avec les corrections disponibles à tout moment. Mais d'abord il faut chercher ...
-Exercice interactif corrigé: On peut répondre directement sur l'ordinateur, mais une feuille de papier et un crayon sont le plus souvent nécessaires pour faire l'exercice entièrement.
-Exercice répétitif : calcul mental : Entraînement au calcul mental sur les techniques basiques à acquérir en mathématiques.

Attention : il faut toujours commencer l'exercice par "recommencer' ou "nouveau calcul" , l'exercice affiché à l'écran n'est qu'un exemple. Il n'est pas à tester ! »

The 6 STEP PROCESS OF PBL is a Problem Solving Process that allows you to break down and organize the structure of a PBL Unit into six different stages: 1. Define the Problem, 2. Solution Criteria, 3. Solution Research, 4. Pick a Solution, 5. Create, Run, and Inspect Solution, and 6. Reflect on Solution.

This terrific resource has a FREE PDF file of this process and how to run each step. The site also includes many resources, blog articles, examples of the process in elementary, middle and high schools, rubrics, videos and more at each step of the process. A great one-stop shop!

Here you will find some resources to help support you in your implementation of 6 Traits in your classroom.

2021 marked the 25th anniversary since The Honourable Jean Augustine introduced the motion to make February Black History Month in Canada. Alongside Augustine, many Black Canadians have played an important role in shaping our country’s history, all while facing much discrimination and racism. Although such achievements should be recognized year-round, February is a time to honour the legacy of Black Canadians and reflect on the many contributions they have made to our country. Brightspark has compiled a list of teacher resources to help you do just this! Find videos, podcasts, activities and more designed to celebrate Canada’s Black heritage and introduce diverse learning in the classroom.

V is for vocabulary. A content area unit provides the theme for a specialized ABC book, as students select, research, define, and illustrate a word for each alphabet letter.

This collection of lesson plans investigates ways artists address political and social issues through their
practice. By carefully examining three works of art from the Chazen’s collection, students will be able
to consider what activism is and how it relates to them and their community. The artwork used in the
curriculum ranges from photographs of schoolchildren exploring their use of language (Ewald) to a
silhouette narrative examining our nation’s fraught history with racism (Walker). The artwork is diverse
in medium, subject, tone, and message. However, several universal themes are present.
The artwork in this collection connects to activism through:
• Addressing histories of oppression
• Considering issues of representation
• Bringing awareness to social and political issues

For students interested in studying biomechanical engineering, especially in the field of surgery, this lesson serves as an anatomy and physiology primer of the abdominopelvic cavity. Students are introduced to the abdominopelvic cavity—a region of the body that is the focus of laparoscopic surgery—as well as the benefits and drawbacks of laparoscopic surgery. Understanding the abdominopelvic environment and laparoscopic surgery is critical for biomechanical engineers who design laparoscopic surgical tools.

In this unit students will have an opportunity to investigate some of the many issues faced by Aboriginal people in Canada as well as learn where the various native groups live. It will include a discussion of the history of the relationship between Aboriginal people and Canada (whether under British rule or modern day government) in order to understand the root of many of the issues. Specific focus will be given to access to health care, access to education, substance abuse, teen pregnancy and suicide, poverty and low living standards and limited economic opportunity.

Aboriginal Literatures in Canada: A Teacher’s Resource Guide serves a double purpose: to encourage the teaching of Aboriginal literature in English high school curricula across the country because Aboriginal students deserve to be taught texts they can relate to and, because non-Aboriginal students should be educated about Aboriginal culture, history and contemporary life through the richness of Aboriginal writing with its innovative uses of the English language. Various works of Aboriginal literature are included.
