Using given congruent triangle statements, students will create congruent triangles and find the lengths of all the sides.

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet is a simulation of the coupon collector problem, which consists of sampling from the first m positive integers, with replacement, until k distinct values are obtained. The parameters m and k can be varied. The random variable of interest is the size of the sample.

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet is a simulation of the standard casino craps game. The random variables of interest are the winning under various bets.

It is suggested that this activity be used once students have a deep understanding of parallel and perpendicular lines. Students will be given the equation of a line in various forms and based on that information, must drag points on a graph to create parallel and perpendicular lines. Initially students will not be shown the graph of the original line, but can obtain that hint if necessary. Once students submit their solutions on the graph, they can reveal the answer, but will no longer be able to adjust their work. This could be used as an assessment, especially during distance learning.

In this Desmos activity, students will use their knowledge of parallelograms to correctly find the location of a 4th vertex.

This unit is geared toward students in 4th grade.  This lesson has students identify why passwords are important and how we can create and remember strong passwords that keep our information safe while online.  There are mutltiple resources with this lesson including the lesson plan, a slides presentation to guide the lesson, and interactive video guide, and finally a password practice sheet.  This lesson could be divided up over multiple days and can also be differentiated to different age students.

This is a professional learning OER activity developed using Google Sites and various Google Forms and Docs.  The facilitator should be sure to set up the site with their own forms, etc... The objectives for the staff are:Understand the basics of copyright lawUnderstand  fair use guidelinesIdentify the types of CC licenses and termsUnderstand the benefits of  Open AccessUnderstand the benefits of  Open Educational Resources 

This is a virtual learning assignment that could be used in any course to address current events, information literacy skills, and media literacy skills.  Please note that the assignment references a proprietary resource: the Proquest online database.  Teachers may need to modify the referenced resource (particularly in Phase 1) to include one that is available to their students.

Making a report of child exploitation is secure and easy. The form can be completed in just a few minutes, and you decide if you want to share your contact information. In fact, many of the fields are optional so what information you provide, is up to you.

In this lesson, students will learn about why their personal information is important and how they can keep it safe. They will also learn to pull out other people’s personal information and how that character/person can keep it safe. 

Explore the relationship between the genetic code on the DNA strand and the resulting protein and rudimentary shape it forms. Through models of transcription and translation, you will discover this relationship and the resilience to mutations built into our genetic code. Start by exploring DNA's double helix with an interactive 3D model. Highlight base pairs, look at one or both strands, and turn hydrogen bonds on or off. Next, watch an animation of transcription, which creates RNA from DNA, and translation, which 'reads' the RNA codons to create a protein.

Data Science is a growing field across all disciplines and grade levels. Use the assets in this collection to help learn valuable skills and concepts related to collecting, using, analyzing, and presenting data. The VDOE, Data Science Teachers, and WHRO Education collaboratively created this content.

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. 

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates rolling n dice. The random variables of interest are the sum of the scores, the maximum score, the minimum score, and the number of aces. The number of dice and the probability distribution that governs the dice can be specified. The applet illustrates various distributions and the central limit theorem.

This resource consists of a Java applet and expository text. The applet simulates the experiment of rolling a die and then tossing a coin the number of times shown on the die. The die distribution and the probability of heads can be specified. The applet illustrates a two-stage experiment.

Digital History projects are "an approach to examining and representing the past that works with the new communication technologies of the computer, the internet, and software systems.” As of March 2024 there are over 80 projects in the Hub related to World History, US History, Geography, Economics, and Gov./Civics.

We hope you use, share, and send new projects we can add to the hub!

Students will analyze primary sources from the Reconstruction Era to determine if Reconstruction was a success or a failure. They will place evidence on a scale for a visual representation of their evaluation.Teachers can modify and assign this Google Doc. You will need to make a copy of the document to access it.

This is a Desmos activity to explore domain and range of continuous functions.  Students do not need prior knowledge of domain and range; this is an exploratory instructional activity.
