Making, Sharing, and Justifying Predictions
This set of lessons explores exceptionalities by having students activate their prior knowledge through a whole class carousel brainstorm activity. Then, they identify what they would like to better understand about exceptionalities and view a video of testimonials to help develop their understanding. Finally, they experience the world through the eyes of a person with exceptionalities who narrates a short story. Students make predictions about the plot at various checkpoints through the narrative, and, in groups, students make, share, and justify their predictions with textual support.

CVC Decodable Resource 2
This is a generic resource package containing decodable texts that limit the use of digraphs and long vowels and introduce CVCC, CCVC, and some multi-syllabic words.
The pre-teaching of the letter names and sounds, and CVC word reading is assumed in the lesson plans.

CVC Decodable Resource 1
This is a generic resource package containing CVC decodable texts. The pre-teaching of the letter names and sounds, as well as what letters are consonants versus vowels is assumed in the lesson plans. Texts are cumulative, so that text 2, for example, provides practice with both the letters ASTIPN, and the letters OBFM and H.

Numbers to One Million
Students will learn different ways to represent numbers including number words, number form, expanded notation as well as with base 10. Students will learn and apply these skills throughout the following four lessons.
- Grade 5
Equality as Balance
The lessons in this resource bundle, describing equality as balance and inequality as imbalance, provides a variety of hands-on activities for students to explore the topic and deepen their understanding.
- Grade 1
Building Number Sense
This resource package focuses on building number sense using counting collections and daily subitizing practice.
Lessons follow the same format daily and students can work within the numbers they are capable or working with 1-20.
The first lesson includes what is a counting collection and how to do one.

Adding Integers
This bundle will explore how students can represent positive and negative integers using different strategies such as integer tiles, number lines, and with the use of zero pairs. Students will explore multiple strategies to find the sum of positive and negative integers (integer tiles, number lines, and absolute values) to solve different problems. This bundle contains many activities to use to assess student understanding of concepts related to integers (formative assessment).
- Grade 7
Integers
This resource bundle will explore the concept of integers and comparing integers using symbols and number lines through investigations, constructive pedagogy, games, and critical thinking activities. Students will work in small groups, partners as well as individually and build on their prior knowledge to extend their understanding of integers.
- Grade 7
Measure of Central Tendency
Using a variety of game-based learning methods, students will explore both the calculation and applied uses of mean, median, mode, and range of data sets.

Volume - Right Cylinders And Prisms
How do I solve problems involving the volume of a right prism or a right cylinder?
- Grade 8
Think Outside the Box
This learning bundle will explore the concept of surface area and how to calculate the surface area of right rectangular prisms and draw nets for these types of prisms. Students will use their knowledge of rectangular prisms, surface area, and nets to complete a project to build a box for an object of their choice.
- Grade 8
Input - Output Machines
Students will engage in a three-part lesson through guided inquiry, which encourages them to explore number patterns and be able to describe them in graphs, words, and table of values.
