Paddle Wheels. Smoke Stacks. Tow Boats. Explore life on a river boat. View images, videos and narrative describing historical and practical aspects of river boat life.

These activities are included as a way to help your students explore/build their mindset and metacognitive awareness. Also included are documents explaining how to access the accompanying MyOpenMath course.

In this project, students will have the opportunity to explore how to calculate biomass for trees through a real-life outdoor activity. To find the project, go to this website. ​​​​​​​

In this project, students will have the opportunity to reflect on culturally responsive education practices. Note that this project may require very little math (depending on what adaptations are necessary to the OER), but will help students evaluate their roles in contributing to OER materials and furthering DEI practices. There are two parts to this project: 1) evaluating the current level of cultural responsiveness of an OER or the curriculum and 2) adapting an OER to be more culturally responsive. You can have students evaluate one OER (well suited if students are working individually) or the entire curriculum (well suited if students are working in teams). Regardless of whether students are working individually or as a team, they are likely to only have time to adapt one OER.

In this project, students will have the opportunity to explore how math is used to solve real-world problems. In this case, students will examine how linear equations may be used to predict the size of megalodon based on the size and position of a fossilized tooth. You may have students work individually or as part of a team (3-4 would be ideal).

In this project, students will have the opportunity to explore regression in more detail. Specifically, they will be looking at how Covid-19 Stimulus money was distributed to each state in the country.

The project is designed to help students better understand budgeting. They will also learn about the real-life options and challenges to managing money. Students will learn about gross and net salaries, renting and buying a home, credit scores, savings, loans, and time value of money.

This sections has two activities, a 2D and 3D activity. Students will explore area in a real-life situation in the 2D project. They will also learn how to calculate a prospective budget proposal for a paint project, and how to write up a formal proposal email. Students will explore surface area and volume in the 3D project. They will be able to create a 3D object in TinkerCad and determine the amount of material needed to create that object.

These Organization of American States (OAS) Eastern Caribbean Training modules aim to support the need for country-specific OER implementation while taking advantage of shared knowledge, resources, and tools that can be accessed and contributed to by all educators across the region. The Training Modules offer a blended approach, combining live webinars and self-directed online practice activities to give participants the flexibility of exploring the tools and resources at their own pace and personalizing them to best suit the needs of their community. The course webinars will be hosted by ISKME, recorded and posted in the Hub, along with all online course materials.

This is the third module in ISKME's OER Academy series that will provide participants with an Introduction to OER Discovery and Curation and the value added, highlighting successful use cases from around the world. We have designed these modules to first spark the learner's interest in the topics covered and then dig deeper into the content through presentations, storytelling, and demonstrations of the tools. We will offer opportunities for learners to practice exploring the resources and tools, and reflect on how they might use them in their work.
