Material Description

This resource is a financial calculator that students may use in a finance portion of a mathematics class, a mathematics portion of a business or finance class, or wherever the user may find it useful.

The calculator can find future value and payment/deposit amount of a savings annuity. It can also find present value and withdrawal/payment amount of a payout annuity/loan.

Context for sharing:

The calculator allows students to more quickly solve contextual problems related to personal finance including loans, investments, and amortization, which provides more instruction time for deeper contextual problems.

Additional information about the resource:

The calculator is written in python, hosted by Streamlit, and may be copied and remixed through Github.

Khan Academy tutorial video that uses Excel spreadsheet and actual income data to predict annual income and expresses why lines and models are useful and interesting.

In this course, you will cover some of the most basic math applications, like decimals, percents, and even fractions. You will not only learn the theory behind these topics, but also how to apply these concepts to your life. You will learn some basic mathematical properties, such as the reflexive property, associative property, and others. The best part is that you most likely already know them, even if you did not know the proper mathematical terminology.

Many students find working with fractions difficult because they do not understand the abstract symbols used to represent fractions. As a result, the algorithmic process of fraction arithmetic is a series of steps that have no real meaning.

This training will teach students how to use fraction bars to gain a conceptual understanding of fractions. This conceptual understanding will help the student build a strong foundation for a traditional in-depth study of fractions.

Participants will use fraction bars to add, subtract, multiply, and divide fractions. Lessons include student practice sets designed to maximize instruction by creating an environment where students actively participate in the learning process.

In this brief video, NASA scientists discuss the Global Precipitation Measurement (GPM) mission and its role in studying and tracking Earth's freshwater resources. The GPM mission will advance our understanding of Earth's water and energy cycles, improve the forecasting of extreme events that cause natural disasters, and extend current capabilities of using satellite precipitation information to directly benefit society.

This resource is an ordered outline for teachers who need guidance on what to cover for the geometry portion of the GED math test. Downloadable links are embedded in the outline as well as emphasis suggestions. The outline lists concepts to cover in a logical order for success on the geometry portion of the GED.

This template supports the Genetics Learning Challenge Winners in designing and authoring their proposed lesson ideas for how they are reimagining the way we teach and study genetics.

This website contains a geologic map of the Island Park, Idaho area. The map shows rocks, deposits, faults, calderas, flows, and other geologic features of interest.

This resource demonstrates the distributive property through the area of rectangles. You can manipulate the dimension by moving the slider.

In the first part of this video, we review the idea of flat space and the Pythagorean theorem. The second part of the video reviews ideas from trigonometry including the unit circle, sine, cosine, and pi. We conclude with a proof of an angle-sum identity.

In this course students gain proficiency in basic geometric concepts, including properties of triangles, circles, and polygons; transformations including translations, rotations, reflections, and dilations; and working with surface area and volume of solids.

In this course, you will study the relationships between lines and angles. You will learn to calculate how much space an object covers, determine how much space is inside of a three-dimensional object, and other relationships between shapes, objects, and the mathematics that govern them.

This was created to introduce my adult students to the accessibility of Geometry and Measurement in the world around them. It can serve as a 1-day activity, or be split into several days. It was followed by a series of more in-depth lessons on shapes, angles, perimeter, area, and volume. Introducing each activity and stopping to discuss after each activity is necessary to helping students process the new information, encourage their latent knowledge, and reassure their uncertainties. Pair or group work is helpful, not only in encouraging weaker students to participate, but in creating greater group cohesion for more effective learning in the new unit.

Tools used: rulers, yard sticks, meter sticks, measuring tape, string w/2 pencils to create circles; styrofoam meat trays, cardboard and scissors to create 2-d shapes; calculators
