See how algebraic thinking develops from the earliest grades through high school with NCTM's Algebra Standard from Principles and Standards for School Mathematics. Rather than treating algebra as a topic that begins only in middle or high school, NCTM frames it as a progression involving patterns, relationships, functions, symbols, mathematical models, and change from pre-kindergarten through grade 12. NCTM uses grade bands to organize each standard and give educators a useful reference for planning age-appropriate algebra experiences and examining how expectations become more sophisticated over time. NCTM summarizes the overarching goals as understanding patterns, relations, and functions; representing mathematical situations with algebraic symbols; using models to understand quantitative relationships; and analyzing change in varied contexts.
tag(s): equations (128), functions (59), patterns (79), preK (352), variables (21)
In the Classroom
Ask students in grades 3-5 to extend geometric or numerical patterns and represent the same relationship with words, tables, and graphs, then compare which representation makes the pattern easiest to see. Assign middle-grade students to represent one relationship with a table, graph, verbal description, and symbolic rule, then use Google Drawings, reviewed here, to create a visual showing how the representations connect. Have small groups create real-world situations that can be modeled algebraically, exchange problems with another group, and critique whether the proposed equation or model accurately represents the situation.You must be registered and logged in to add items to your favorites.

Connect Olympic sports with physics through two hands-on investigations from Home Science Tools. The first activity uses a spinning office chair and equal weights to model conservation of angular momentum, helping students understand why divers, gymnasts, and ice skaters spin faster when they pull their arms and legs closer to their bodies. The second investigation measures reaction time by having a partner catch a falling meter stick, then using a provided reaction-time table or formula to interpret results. Both activities include materials, step-by-step directions, science explanations, and extension questions that encourage students to test variables and connect results to sports and everyday situations. The page also links to additional sports-science resources.
tag(s): gravity (55), olympics (64), sports (106), STEM (385)
In the Classroom
Have students complete the reaction-time investigation in pairs, record at least three trials, and compare their average response times to see whether repeated practice improves them. Have small groups alter one variable in the reaction-time experiment, such as age, practice, or completing another task while catching, then graph their results with Infographic Presentation Templates, reviewed here and write a claim supported by evidence. Ask students to research an Olympic sport that involves rotation and create a labeled explanation with Google Drawings, reviewed here, showing the rotational axis, body position, and how angular momentum affects movement.

Napkin Slides turns any idea into a customizable slide presentation from any prompt. Type or paste your idea, then add an optional source file (such as an Excel, PowerPoint, or Word document) to get started. Slides asks a few clarifying questions to gain additional context, then generates a slide deck based on your responses. Once finished, users can refine slides, including changing text, adjusting image size, and more. When complete, present slides from Napkin Slides or export as a PowerPoint, PDF, SVG, or PNG file. The free plan includes 500 credits weekly; Napkin says it uses about 1 AI credit per word processed, though more complex operations may use more credits. This means the free plan is likely enough to create several lesson presentations each week. For example, if you typically create 8- to 12-slide lesson decks from about 100 words of notes, you could expect to generate around five presentations per week before reaching the 500-credit limit

Vivipod is an online video discussion platform designed to record and share conversations that go beyond simple recording, with options to create and share information. Begin by creating a space for your conversations, add a prompt to guide each thread, community members then post a response, and then users comment. When recording, users can share their screen, draw, pause, and auto-save drafts. Login is optional to record, download, and own your video; no account required. ViviPod aligns with FERPA, COPPA, and other student privacy frameworks. ViviPod's current free plan allows 3 Spaces, unlimited Topics and participants, 90-second recordings, video comments, moderation, @mentions, and timestamped feedback. For learners under 13, accounts should be managed through a school or with appropriate consent.
tag(s): assessment (142), blended learning (30), collaboration (142), communication (126), Formative Assessment (48), remote learning (33)
In the Classroom
Use Vivipod in many ways to encourage discussion in any classroom. For example, ask students to share reading responses, math explanations, science observations, and provide quick introductions at the beginning of the year. Use moderation tools as needed when posting responses to ensure that students use proper online etiquette and responses that meet prompt requirements. Because Vivipod is a tool that encourages conversations, use prompts that require students to explain, respond, and react without the need for an in-class discussion. Prompts can require students to respond to a class member's recording or discuss another student's prediction of what might happen during a science experiment.Edge Features:

Estimate your household water footprint (gallons of daily usage) by answering a few questions about daily water habits using the Water Footprint Calculator. Household water usage depends on the number of household members, average shower length, and other questions about faucet and toilet use. After you complete the survey, the calculator estimates your daily water usage and compares it to the United States average across several categories. Click the tips to find suggestions for decreasing your current water usage.

In the Classroom
Ask students to take the quiz individually as homework, then bring their footprint number to class to discuss their results. Use this information to lead into lessons on water hidden in food, energy, and goods, not just what comes out of the tap. Turn this information into real-world graphing and data activities. Have students collect individual results and calculate the mean, median, and mode for your classroom; if possible, share and compare results with another class. Use a graph creation tool like Visualize Free, reviewed here, to create bar charts comparing footprint categories (diet vs. energy vs. household) across the class. After gathering all of your results, use Infogram, reviewed here to create an infographic that shares the results of your findings from the Water Footprint Calculator.Add your comments below (available only to members) | Become a Member

Bring culturally responsive American Indian education into lessons across the curriculum with this extensive collection from the Montana Office of Public Instruction. Indian Education for All (IEFA) provides classroom-ready lessons, curriculum guides, videos, posters, professional learning materials, and implementation resources developed with advice and assistance from cultural consultants from Montana Tribal Nations. Tribal-specific materials also receive input and review from members of the Montana Advisory Council on Indian Education who represent those Tribal Nations. Teachers can browse resources by areas including art, language arts, mathematics, music, science, social studies, health and family-consumer sciences, videos, and remote learning. Materials span early elementary through high school and address topics such as tribal diversity, sovereignty, traditional knowledge, contemporary Native experiences, history, literature, art, mathematics, science, and Montana's Tribal Nations. The site also features the Essential Understandings Regarding Montana Indians, implementation guidance, recorded professional-development sessions, and links to additional tribal and national resources. If your district blocks YouTube, you may not be able to view the videos.

Lessons of Our Land offers teachers more than 200 ready-to-use lessons to bring Native American histories, cultures, land relationships, languages, inherent rights, and tribal sovereignty into regular classroom instruction. Developed by the nonprofit Indian Land Tenure Foundation, the interdisciplinary curriculum spans Pre-K through grade 12 and is designed for both Native and non-Native students. Teachers can search lessons by grade, subject, and academic standard, and some materials are tailored to California, South Dakota, Montana, or Minnesota while remaining adaptable for use elsewhere. Individual lessons may include teacher background, achievement goals, materials, student activities, discussion questions, maps, stories, research tasks, and downloadable PDFs. Sample topics range from creating neighborhood maps and studying wild rice to land stewardship, treaty-making, sovereignty, and the relationship between geography and cultural identity. The site also includes professional-development resources and the educational game When Rivers Were Trails, which follows an Anishinaabeg character displaced from Minnesota in 1890.
