In the Classroom
Introduce PhET simulations during a math station rotation or as a flipped learning module. For a flipped lesson, assign students a specific simulation, such as Area Model Multiplication, to explore at home, allowing them to build conceptual familiarity before entering the classroom. During in-class station rotations, set up a "Discovery Lab" where students use the simulations to test hypotheses and solve challenges. Once they master a concept, have them use Awesome Screenshot, reviewed here to record a short video explaining their mathematical reasoning as they manipulate the tools. These recordings serve as a powerful formative assessment, showing exactly how a student arrived at an answer. To further extend the activity, have students post their videos or screenshots to a shared Padlet, reviewed here as a gallery walk. Asking students to share their thinking with others allows peers to see different strategies for solving the same problem and develop their own methods.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

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

The Transum Snowflake Generator is an interactive math tool that allows students to explore fractals, symmetry, and patterns by creating digital snowflakes. This activity is ideal for reinforcing geometric transformations, including reflection, rotation, and dilation. Students can adjust settings to observe how small changes impact the overall pattern, making it an excellent resource for discussions on similarity, problem-solving, and fractal geometry. In addition to creating freestyle snowflakes, you can participate in several challenges to develop snowflakes by following the provided directions. Teachers can use it for hands-on lessons in math, computer science, and art, engaging students in both creative design and mathematical reasoning.
tag(s): geometric shapes (152), patterns (80), problem solving (266), snow (22), symmetry (32)
In the Classroom
Have students design a snowflake and identify its lines of symmetry (folding lines where the design matches). Then, challenge them to create snowflakes with specific numbers of symmetrical sections (e.g., 4, 6, or 8). Introduce fractals by showing natural examples (such as snowflakes, trees, and ferns) and have students generate snowflakes at various stages of the design process. Compare their snowflakes and discuss how repeating patterns create complex designs. Have students design digital snowflakes and print them for a classroom display. Compare snowflake designs to traditional paper-cut snowflakes and discuss the difference between digital and handmade art.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

The PhET Interactive Simulations website, developed by the University of Colorado Boulder, offers free, research-based interactive simulations for teaching science and mathematics. These engaging simulations allow students to explore concepts in physics, chemistry, biology, earth science, and math through hands-on virtual experiments. These PhET simulations are designed for elementary through college-level learners, and support inquiry-based learning and can be used for whole-class demonstrations, small-group activities, or independent exploration. The simulations are HTML5-based, making them accessible on desktops, tablets, and mobile devices without additional software. This resource is an excellent tool for reinforcing key STEM concepts in an interactive and visually engaging way.

In the Classroom
Challenge students to explore a PhET simulation related to a current science topic, such as circuits, gravity, or states of matter. They can make predictions before interacting with the simulation and record their observations to compare with their initial ideas. Give students a scavenger hunt worksheet with specific challenges to complete in a simulation (ex., "Find a way to make a circuit light up" in the Circuit Construction Kit). Students design a virtual experiment using a PhET simulation. They choose a variable to change, make a hypothesis, run multiple trials, and record their results in a data table or graph before sharing their findings. After using a PhET simulation, students discuss or write about real-world applications of what they learned (how forces affect roller coasters, how molecules move in different states of matter) and present their findings using Visme, reviewed here or Google Slides, reviewed here.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member
