Engage students in a discussion about the definition of failure and why so many people are afraid of it using Theodore Roosevelt's Man in the Arena speech from 1910.

The student will understand the importance of facing fears and be able to relate this in a narrative piece of writing.** This performance assessment was developed by a collaborative team of teachers and division staff from Middlesex, Poquoson, and West Point school divisions.

Focus: Students will find the difference of two numbers using the minus 1 strategy.
Purpose/SEL: Improve student learning, build camaraderie in the classroom and infuse fitness activities into daily schedule

Fact and Opinion SortDirections: Students will work in teacher-assigned pairs to sort statements into the correct Fact or Opinion column. Statements will need to be cut apart and placed in envelopes before giving them to students. Students will work collaboratively to sort the statements into the correct column. Alternative: Paste each fact or opinion statement on an index card and give one card to each student. On a whiteboard or poster board, draw two columns and label one as Fact and one as Opinion. Have students place their card in the correct column. Once all students have placed their cards, the teacher should lead the class in a discussion to review each statement.

Mic Drop Maths is a mathematics podcast for 5th graders based on the VA Standards of Learning. Each episode addresses one standard and is broken into segments including concept, real-world application, math history, literature connections, misconceptions, and more! There is music, sound effects, jokes, and student voice in each engaging and entertaining episode. 

Determining factors, common factors, and greatest common factor Mathematics Instructional Plans (MIPs) help teachers align instruction with the 2016 Mathematics Standards of Learning (SOL) by providing examples of how the knowledge, skills and processes found in the SOL and curriculum framework can be presented to students in the classroom.

This lesson is aimed at students who need more practice and help with Factoring Quadratic Equations. It includes multiple video resources, practice problems, and creative ways to challenge your students to dig a little deeper in their critical thinking. 

In this lesson, students learn how to write a simple program to find all of the factors of any positive integer. The coding language is Python. Students learn the concept of an algorithm, as well as programming concepts such as variables, data types, and looping. The lesson also includes information on how the difficulty of factoring really large numbers is the basis of all modern online commerce. 

Explore the role of size and shape in the strength of London dispersion attractions. While all molecules are attracted to each other, some attractions are stronger than others. Non-polar molecules are attracted through a London dispersion attraction; the strength of the attraction depends on the shapes and sizes of the interacting molecules. The force of attractions between molecules has consequences for their interactions in physical, chemical and biological applications.

This lesson remixes a lesson entitled Teach Design: Portkey (developed by Austin Meyer) by employing it as an anticipatory activity for an instructional unit on Ray Bradbury's "Fahrenheit 451." Students follow the steps outlined in the original lesson and then return back to this activity frequently during their reading of the unit text in order to deepen their understanding of the unit text and to reinforce the author's message concerning the power of stories in our lives.

Students will be able to retell a fairy tale by coding a path using story event pictures. Students will be able to translate an algorithm into a program.

Alternative facts, fake news, and post-truth have become common terms in the contemporary news industry. Today, social media platforms allow sensational news to “go viral,” crowdsourced news from ordinary people to compete with professional reporting, and public figures in offices as high as the US presidency to bypass established media outlets when sharing news. However, dramatic reporting in daily news coverage predates the smartphone and tablet by over a century. In the late nineteenth century, the news media war between Joseph Pulitzer’s New York World and William Randolph Hearst’s New York Journal resulted in the rise of yellow journalism, as each newspaper used sensationalism and manipulated facts to increase sales and attract readers.
