This Desmos activity has students partiiton a fraction into fourths, model a fraction, and then determine if the fraction is more than, less than, or equal to 1/2 by looking at the denominator.

This video is part of the Continue to Know with WHRO TV series. Watch Ashley Ehret teach about comparing integers.

Students compare slope as it relates to distance vs. time. Using a simulation on Desmos, students find that faster speeds create steeper slopes on a graph.

Within this interactive lesson, students will navigate and explore comparing positive and negative fractions, deicmals, and percents through Desmos. Students will also gain practice from finding equivalencies, using picture representations and number lines, and through mathematical discourse. Students will be able to do the following:Use a number line to sort, compare, and order integers, fractions, decimals, and percents.Compare integers, fractions, decimals, and percents.Order integers, fractions, decimals, and percents.

Teachers will give out cards to students and have them practice comparing and ordering real numbers.

Solving problems involving area and perimeter of composite figuresMathematics 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.

Students will color code each set of triangles to tell which shortcut, if any, can prove the triangles congruent. Shortcuts included are SSS, SAS, ASA, AAS, and HL. Students can complete this digitally or it can be printed out and used as a worksheet.

Students will program a Sphero robot to travel around the exterior of a convex polygon. Students will then use the information in their code to determine the sum of the interior angles in a convex polygon.

In this activity, students will discover how to determine the distance between two points on the same horizontal or vertical line. 

Students will identify the parts of the coordinate plane and graph ordered pairs in all four quadrants of the coordinate plane. There are strategies embedded within the handout to support an enduring understanding. For example, in order to plot points, you can use an Elevator relation: Choose the door "x", then the floor "y")
Extension: Virginia Department of Education resource document titled, "Coordinate Plane", which is a remediation lesson. Students identify, and graph ordered pairs in the four quadrants of a coordinate plane. Visual aid handout, exit ticket, and lesson plan are included.

In this 40-day module, students develop a coordinate system for the first quadrant of the coordinate plane and use it to solve problems. Students use the familiar number line as an introduction to the idea of a coordinate, and they construct two perpendicular number lines to create a coordinate system on the plane. Students see that just as points on the line can be located by their distance from 0, the plane's coordinate system can be used to locate and plot points using two coordinates. They then use the coordinate system to explore relationships between points, ordered pairs, patterns, lines and, more abstractly, the rules that generate them. This study culminates in an exploration of the coordinate plane in real world applications. VDOE supported resource guides students through identifying coordinates and plotting points.
