The Kamishibai man used to ride his bicycle into town where he would tell stories to the children and sell them candy, but gradually, fewer and fewer children came running at the sound of his clappers. They were all watching their new televisions instead. Finally, only one boy remained, and he had no money for candy. Years later, the Kamishibai man and his wife made another batch of candy, and he pedaled into town to tell one more story - his own. When he comes out of the reverie of his memories, he looks around to see he is surrounded by
The Student Mathematician’s Journal allows students to explore simulated or real-life problems and help them to think, write, and read like mathematicians. It encourages students to reflect on what they have learned in each lesson, think deeply about mathematics, and communicate in writing on worksheets.
In this unit, students explore 2- and 3-dimensional shapes with a focus on their properties, rel
OpenSciEd High School addresses all high school NGSS standards. This comprehensive science curriculum empowers students to question, design, investigate, and solve the world around them.
In this unit, students explore algebra as a system of concepts used to represent relationships. They learn to express these relationships using words, equations, tables, and graphs. By exploring world records, some of the most astonishing feats ever achieved, they see algebra in action and even start imagining their own record-breaking possibilities. They also learn about algebra as a style of mathematical thinking for formalizing patterns of change. They extend their notion of variable from a letter in an equation that represents a number to a broader definition, that of a qu
