Grades
4 to 12tag(s): architecture (83), critical thinking (179), inquiry (34), patterns (82), professional development (318), STEM (370)
In the Classroom
After learning about Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural style, have students design their own home using graph paper or a digital design tool such as Tinkercad, reviewed here. Show students images of Wright's buildings from the website and discuss their unique features. Then have them take a walk around the school or neighborhood and have students sketch or photograph buildings while identifying shapes, patterns, and design elements. Using simple materials such as index cards, cardboard, or LEGO bricks, challenge students to design and build a small structure. Students can test the strength and stability of their designs while learning basic engineering concepts.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

In the Classroom
Transform a standard lesson on probability and data into an interactive experiment by having students use the built-in dice, coins, and spinners to collect real-time data sets. For a middle school math project, students can run simulations on the canvas to compare theoretical and experimental probability, then use the data science tools to generate and analyze frequency charts instantly. After identifying patterns in their results, students can summarize their findings by creating a collaborative digital board with Padlet, reviewed here, where they post screenshots of their most surprising outcomes. To further extend the learning, ask students to record a quick explanation of their probability fairness test using the Chrome Capture screen recorder, reviewed here, and share it with their peers for feedback.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Magnifying Metacognition: Reclaiming the the "Messy Middle" in Math Instruction - TeachersFirst
Grades
4 to 8tag(s): social and emotional learning (195), thinking skills (116)
In the Classroom
Model a math problem by verbalizing every step of your thinking. Then have students work in pairs, taking turns solving a new problem while narrating their thoughts. Present an image, graph, or number pattern, and have students list their observations and questions before performing any calculations. Give students a rubric that emphasizes reasoning, strategy choice, and perseverance rather than just the correct answer. Have them self-score and discuss their scores with a partner. Have students design their own multi-step math problem, explain why it is challenging, and write out a "thought process guide" showing how to approach it.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

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

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
