Math Medic is a free, student-centered resource hub created by veteran high school teachers that offers daily, customizable lesson plans across a range of high school mathematics courses -- from Algebra 1 to AP Calculus and Statistics. It promotes an "Experience First, Formalize Later" (EFFL) learning model, engaging students in real-world, exploratory activities before guiding them toward formal mathematical concepts and notation. With a free subscription, teachers get access to ready-to-print lessons, student-friendly guided notes, answer keys, pacing guides, and slides for instruction. Paid add-ons include a robust assessment platform for homework, quizzes, tests, and AP review materials aligned with curriculum activities. Additionally, teachers can attend in-person or online EFFL workshops to support implementation.

In the Classroom
Begin class with the "Experience First" task from a Math Medic lesson to spark curiosity and promote collaborative problem-solving. Let students explore patterns or make conjectures before introducing formal math concepts. Distribute the student-friendly guided notes provided with each lesson to keep learners engaged while promoting active participation and organized thinking during instruction. Use the editable slide decks and pacing guides to adjust lesson pace or depth based on your students' needs. These can also help scaffold concepts for struggling learners or extend challenges for advanced students. Share lesson slides or discovery tasks in advance or after class for flipped learning or catch-up. This allows students to review content at their own pace while staying aligned with classroom instruction. Turn lesson examples into group tasks where students work collaboratively to solve and present their findings, promoting mathematical communication and reasoning.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
After studying ratios, send students on a classroom or home scavenger hunt to find and record real-life ratio examples (e.g., ingredients, measurements, objects). They can then create word problems based on their findings. Have students apply their knowledge of fraction division by scaling recipes up or down to practice their skills. They can write out the steps, show their work with visual models, and present how they adjusted quantities to serve different groups. Using Khan's lessons on surface area, have students create 3D models from nets using paper or cardstock. They can calculate and compare surface area and volume, and explain how changing dimensions affect each measurement.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

This 30-minute classroom video immerses middle school teachers in a real-world Grade 6-8 math lesson that actively develops algebraic thinking. It shows how the teacher prompts students to analyze patterns, articulate the relationship between input and output, and represent these ideas through diagrams, tables, and informal expressions. The session shifts attention from abstract content to classroom practices -- teachers observe how tasks are structured, how students verbalize their thinking, and how the lesson encourages the use of functions and variable reasoning. The primary goal is to help viewers identify and critique strategies that make algebraic thinking accessible, engaging, and meaningful to young adolescents.
In the Classroom
Have students design growing patterns using manipulatives (such as tiles or cubes), record the changes, and describe the rule. Then, challenge classmates to figure out the rule from the pattern. Present simple number patterns (e.g., 2, 4, 6, 8...) and ask students not only to write the rule (e.g., "multiply the position by 2") but also to explain why it works. Provide students with partial input-output tables, ask them to determine the rule, and encourage multiple representations with words, equations, and graphs.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Imagine your students becoming pattern detectives--spotting number sequences, uncovering hidden rules, and learning how to express them mathematically. The Number Patterns topic guide from Third Space Learning provides a clear, comprehensive resource for introducing students to arithmetic and geometric sequences. It explains how to identify starting points, determine consistent rules, and apply them to generate sequences. Through input-output tables, visual examples, and real-world connections, the guide helps learners understand how patterns can be extended and represented algebraically, including the process of finding the nth term. With instructional tips and built-in practice opportunities, this resource helps educators strengthen students' algebraic thinking in a fun, accessible way.

Give students a mix of arithmetic and geometric sequences with missing terms. Have them work in pairs to uncover the rules and complete the patterns. For added fun, turn it into a digital escape using Genially's Online Escape Room Templates reviewed here where each correct answer unlocks the next clue. Have students design their own number patterns (either arithmetic or geometric), write the rule, and challenge classmates to solve them. Ask students to search for number patterns in real life, such as patterns in nature (e.g., flower petals, pinecones), music beats, or sports statistics, and share their findings with the class through short presentations using a digital tool such as Visme reviewed here or Google Slides reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Flip your classroom and have students watch Numerade Bootcamp videos at home to learn foundational concepts before class. They then can apply their learning through in-class lessons. Have students create and take practice quizzes based on Numerade's standardized test prep Bootcamps using a program like Quizlet, reviewed here. This will engage them in active test prep, enhance recall through repeated practice, and extend readiness for exams. Have students summarize a Numerade bootcamp topic by creating short review videos with Padlet, reviewed here, helping their classmates understand key points from the videos. This is a link to Padlet's Help section for posting video or an image.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Sizzle is a resource that provides help for math and science using artificial intelligence (AI) features. Enter problems in several different ways to receive step-by-step help in solving problems. Type the problem into the chat, upload a picture (word and number problems), or scan the problem with your phone. After defining the problem, Sizzle leads users through each step before sharing the next step to complete. Answer each step in the chat, ask to see choices, or reveal the next step. When viewing options for solving each step, Sizzle provides tips for correct solutions if the incorrect response is chosen. While registration is optional, creating an account allows users to access their history of solved problems. Sizzle is available online and as an app from Apple and Google Play.
