Videos: The library contains 140 STEM videos. They feature diverse professionals talking about use of math and science in what they do. They are 2 to 6 minutes long.

Lesson plans: There are over 200 lesson plans each containing several activities. Search and filter capabilities enables you to zero in on your lesson needs.
Teachers tell us:
"As a teacher and a media production specialist at the school district level, I am very impressed with the Futures Channel documentaries. They provide a critical link, view of the real-world application of knowledge that I want my students to strive towards as they learn about technology, art, math, and science in school. I cannot afford to take field trips to show my students all these interesting people and projects in action. Futures Channel does this in an inviting and exciting way."
-J.G

"With these videos, I can do more than tell students how math is used in the real world. I can show them what it really looks like in action. These upbeat, creative, and informative videos grab students' attention, plant a seed, and lay the groundwork for exciting and meaningful applications of mathematics in the classroom. After watching Futures Channel videos, students have a more well-defined purpose and genuine interest in the mathematics they are studying." -J. K

The Mathematics Assessment Project is part of the Math Design Collaborative initiated by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The project set out to design and develop well-engineered tools for formative and summative assessment that expose students' mathematical knowledge and reasoning, helping teachers guide them towards improvement and monitor progress. The tools are relevant to any curriculum that seeks to deepen students' understanding of mathematical concepts and develop their ability to apply that knowledge to non-routine problems.

More about the Math Assessment Project

100 lessons for formative assessment, some focused on developing math concepts, others on solving non-routine problems. A Brief Guide for teachers and administrators (PDF) is recommended reading before using these lessons for the first time.

A set of 94 exemplar summative assessment tasks to illustrate the range of performance goals required by CCSSM. The tasks come with scoring rubrics and examples of scored student work.

Complete summative test forms and rubrics designed to help teachers and students monitor their progress using a range of task types similar to the 'Tasks' section.

5 Prototype modules that encourage groups of teachers to explore the practical and pedagogical concepts behind the materials, such as formative assessment, collaborative learning and the use of unstructured problems.

The Teaching for Robust Understanding of Mathematics (TRU Math) suite is a set of tools with applications in Professional Development and research based around a framework for characterizing powerful learning environments.

Age: 15+ Time: 1 hr. Difficulty level: Medium. This set of games asks students to find the correct equation of the parabola in order to hit the pig! This could give them an opportunity to discover the properties of graphs in the form y=a(x - p)(x - q). Great fun!

Age: 15+ Time 1 hr. Difficulty level: Hard. This second set of games where three set of coordinates are given and students are required to calculate the equation of the parabola. More through understanding of the equation of a quadratic will be required.

Age 12+ Time 1h: Get students up and out of their seats, grouping themselves into sets of numbers according to certain conditions. Students then invent their own number line diagrams for visualising inequalities, with a quiz to discern whose is the most effective, before completing a six question applet using conventional inequality lines.

Age 12+ Time 1-2h: Students use their knowledge of equations of lines to rebuild well known, symmetrical logos from a small fragment of the image. They then find and/or make their own logos, providing for their partner only a small fragment (using FREE photo editors such as paint.net, gimp or others) from which to rebuild the original.

Age 12+ Time 1-2h: Sitting back-to-back students' define a straight line picture for their partner to draw. How do we define lines? What are the properties of a line? Student's creative ideas are compared to find the most efficient and effective definition. Students then practice finding equations of lines on paper, using Geogebra applets for instant feedback to test, and refine, their responses.

Age 15+ Time 2h. Students find transforming functions one of the most demanding topics in mathematicsat this level. In particular, the effect a has on the function, f(x) for y=af(x) and y=f(ax) and understanding just what a stretch is. This activity documents the most succesful approach I've had with this topic. It approaches the idea from the angle of transforming shapes, looking at the effect on the coordinates, then applying the same transformations to graphs.

Age: 14+ Time: 2h. This is a perfect activity to discover the properties of quadratic graphs. An investigation to 1) describe the axis of symmetry, 2) find the vertex form and 3) describe the zeros of a quadratic function. It includes fun quizzes and is concluded with a firefighter game where Sam must aim the water jet correctly to put out the fire. Great fun! Click show to see short video overview of activity

Age 13+ Time: 2h This is a very complete activity to get students factorising quadratic expressions for the first time. It includes 2 arcade games to practise expanding brackets, a product and sum puzzle and a self-checking spreadsheet for factorising. Watch the following video for an overview

Age: 14+ Time: 1h+ This activity will challenge high achieving students to learn about the properties of exponential functions and their transformations. Interactive applets and quizzes get the students to discover the properties for themselves then there are a couple of games to challenge them to 'copy the function'. Watch the short video below for a quick overview.

Age: 12+ Time: 1h What changed during the Renaissance? This activity looks at the revolution in using algebra to describe geometries, graphs, 3D perspective and the introduction of decimal notation. It can be used as part of a Renaissance School Day where students make links between subjects and then present their findings in a whole school assembly. Overview of this day, lead by History department, available here.

Age: 15+ Time 1.5 hr + This activity gets students to produce families of trigonometric functions (like the one on the right) using dynamic geometry software. By exploring the effect of changing parameters they really get a deep understanding of the properties of the main transformations: translations and stretches. Get ready for " Oos and Ahhs"!

{C}{C}{C} Age: 12+ Time 1 hr + A computer with internet access is required for this set of five interlinked activities where students are introduced to the equation of a straight line. A structured investigation is followed by a bowling game where students are required to enter the correct equation in order to be able to bowl over the pins and get a strike. A really entertaining way to learn about gradient and y intercept.

Age: 15+ Time 1-2 hrs Using Autograph or the free Geogebra or Microsoft Maths 4.0, students investigate the functions of the sine and cosine graph. Students record the key, defining points in a pre-prepared table: coordinates of the maximum and minimum and x-intercepts, as they change different parameters using the constant controller or sliders. Without technology, students then have to predict

Age: 11+ Time: 1hr+ This activity gets students to explore the ideas of factorising simple linear expressions. However, it does it in a way that never mentions factorising! Students will need to think critically to solve some puzzles about multiplying out number grids. By turning the questions around, students will then discover the rules for factorising. Students should be able to multiply simple algebraic expressions before they attempt this activity.

Age: 12+ Time: 2 hours. In this investigation, students explore the sums of consecutive numbers and their divisors with the hope of discovering and proving that the sum of n consecutive numbers is divisible by n when n is odd. This is a gentle introduction for young students to the idea of proof!

Age 14+ Time 30-40 minutes. Match the waves with their functions! The discussions and reasoning that take place during this type of activity can be incredibly valuable and effective. It is a simple idea, but so often the simple ideas can be the most effective. It is also a nice alternative to a traditional exercise. When well practised, this is not a desperately difficult concept and it can be very satisfying

Age: 12+ Time: 1-2 hours. This activity is another great example of a puzzle whose solutions can be modeled by an algebraic sequence (linear). The puzzle provides an engaging introduction and an incentive to generalise, which helps students with this traditionally difficult idea. The puzzle can be modeled by a linear sequence and broken down into a series of different linear sequences that combine to form the overall model.

This activity is about linking the graphing of quadratics with the equations themselves by looking at their key features. Students match pieces of information with different graphs using logical deduction. This practical group activity leads to being able to sketch graphs from their equations. Age: 15+ Time: 1h

In one hour students should have worked out how to "factorise quadratics" for themselves using patterns in the factorisations given by CAS software, such as TiNspire, Geogebra, WolframAlpha or Derive. "How to" videos are included for those inexperienced in using these programmes. A second activity relates factorising to the "Grid Method" of multiplication including the use of an online virtual manipulative. Age: 13+ Time: 1-2h

By the end of the hour students should have worked out how to "factorise" for themselves by looking for patterns in the factorisations given by CAS software such as TiNspire and Derive. "How to" videos are included, for those inexperienced with the technology, to help ensure teacher and student time is focused on the mathematics. Age: 12+ Time: 1h

Students get practice in finding the nth term of arithmetic and geometric sequences. Sequences are presented in a graphical form and students are required to find their nth terms. Ti Nspire calculators are recommended to get the most out of this activity and allow students to play with and test their own conjectures. Age: 15+ Time: 1hr

How many ways to win a 3D game of three in a row? A real physical game situation that leads to algebraic sequences. There are many ways to investigate this problem and this makes a great project for Algebraic Investigation. Age: 14+ Time: 1hr to a whole week.

Who's the fastest in your class? How do you know they are "fast"? What does "fast" mean exactly? Student's discuss the above, then race 100m and use the distance, speed, time formulae to work out: If they maintained this speed, could they set a new marathon record?! Age : 12+ Time: 2hrs

Formulae often seem so abstract to students, expressed as they are using algebra, yet they are one of the most applied area of mathematics! Students are asked to search Google images and find one or two images to go with each formula. Students then share their pictures with the rest of the class and discuss what each letter represents and how it describes a relationship. Age: 12+ Time: 1-2hrs

Students all too often do not realise that functions are all around them: on the dance floor, in the swaying of the branches of a tree . . . . and in people holding their hands in the air in joy! This activity gets them to use their body to feel the transformation! Age: 15+ Time: 5mins to 1h (use sections as starters/plenaries or full resource in a single lesson).

Bend a wire to "feel" the shape of the different functions such as sinx, cosx, x ³ etc. and their transformations e.g. sin(x-90), Cos3x, etc. Given an equation/function, can you draw the graph on a mini-whiteboard? Age: 15+ Time: 20mins to 1h (starter/plenary or full lesson)

Many marks can be lost in exams because of a lack of precision in the exact coordinates of a transformation. Students are taken outside the classroom to give them a physical experience of how functions define coordinates. The discussion between students is useful for drawing out student misconceptions. Careful questioning can challenge these misconceptions. Age:15+ Time: 20mins to 1h (starter or full lesson)

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.description
Age 13+ Time: 1.5-2 hrs. The practical part of this activity can be completed as a first introductory lesson for distance-time graphs. No prior knowledge is required since the motion sensors provide the scaffolding and feedback to get the students to understand how the graphs are used to record position at different times.
