This resource includes PowerPoint, workbook pages, and supplemental videos associated to OpenStax Intermediate Algebra, Section 11.1 Distance and Midpoint Formulas; Cirles.  All materials are ADA accessible.  Funded by THECB OER Development and Implementation Grant (2021)

A collection of supporting materials for College Physics using OpenStax College Physics as textbook. Materials include PowerPoint Notes, Homework modules and simulation labs.

These worksheets are designed to help students practice the placement of the proper punctuation between independent clauses. These worksheets are designed to supplement previously generated lessons rather than as a stand-alone lesson.

This resource contains activity handouts, a rubric, a facilitation guide, and tex files. The material is meant to be used for those teaching a college algebra course. The activities are meant to provide a deeper understanding (than a traditional course offers) of some of the topics covered in a college algebra course. The activities are intended for group activities and options exist for use in a single class or multiple classes.

This resource contains class notes, an activity handout, and a facilitation guide. Students play the game “Let’s Make a Deal” to explore the underlying probability that guides the optimal strategy for contestants. This activity aligns with MATH 1342 Learning Outcome 3: Compute and interpret empirical and theoretical probabilities using the rules of probabilities and combinatorics.

This resource contains activity handouts and considerations for facilitators. This resource is part of the Teaching Excellence Toolkit to help accomplish the College Readiness Goal: I want students to feel like they belong in the course.Activity Description:This is a writing activity where students reflect on the relevance of what they are learning and its applications to their future goals.

A compilation of video scenarios of people interacting with each other in Portuguese. Conversations include dialogs, questions, turn taking exchanges, clarifications, false starts, hugs, laughter, asides. The scenarios are enhanced by transcriptions, translations, content analysis, and notes and discussion blogs.

This resource includes online homework and quizzes, lecture notes for instructors (some with guided note packets or student versions), sample syllabi, sample schedules, and sample exams used in a corequisite College Algebra course, where students are enrolled in both Intermediate and College Algebra simultaneously. All of the resources can be used for a stand alone College Algebra course, with minor editing.  

Overview: This survey instrument is designed to understand how creators use (or decide not to use) Creative Commons licenses. The target survey participants are people who create materials for documentation, maintenance, instruction, learning, and/or revitalization of Indigenous, minority, endangered, and/or low-resourced languages. Part 1 of this survey is designed to learn about the digital creation formats and sharing practices in this specific community of practice. Parts 2 through 4 of this survey contain general questions intended to elicit information about research participants’ knowledge and awareness of Creative Commons (CC) licenses; understanding of how to apply CC licenses to their digital creations; interest in and experience with applying CC licenses to their digital creations; motivations for and barriers to applying CC licenses to their digital creations; and understanding of how to adapt or reuse digital creations licensed with CC licenses.

This survey can be easily adapted for use in other communities of practice by editing some of the questions and multiple-choice responses.

If you wish to read this survey and background information about it, please start with the file ReadMe-CCLuseSurvey.pdf.

The file Creative_Commons_License_Use_Survey.qsf is a Qualtrics Survey File that can be used to recreate this survey in your own instance of the Qualtrics software.

The file Creative_Commons_License_Use_Survey.pdf is a PDF of the survey. This version includes Creative Commons graphics that are used in the survey questions. The file ReadMe-CCLuseSurvey.pdf does not include the graphics.

This is a template workflow for Creator Communities to adapt for their own needs.

Upon successful completion of this assignment, students will
- analyze the tone of a given text by evaluating its diction, imagery, details, language, and structure through the DIDLS strategy

This resource from the U.S. Census Bureau provides examples of Visualizations that can be utilized to discuss the various elements of statistics: Data Collection, Data Representation, Data Analysis, and Data Interpretation.

Upon successful completion of this assignment, students will
- analyze a chosen concept through various strategies, such as its connotations, denotations, and more.
- create a well-organized essay that explains and defends a proposed definition for their chosen concept through reasoning strategies, evidence, and credible sources.

This resource contains a facilitation guide, class notes, and an activity handout. Students play the game “Let’s Make a Deal” to explore the underlying probability that guides the optimal strategy for contestants. This activity aligns with MATH 1332 Learning Outcome 4: Demonstrate fundamental probability/counting techniques and apply those techniques to solve problems.

This resource contains a slide deck and a facilitation guide. Students are guided to consider how mathematics can help us understand the phenomenon of a pandemic and inform our responses. Students work in groups using the NCTM’s browser pandemic app to manipulate four factors that influence the spread of a virus to see the how changing these variables creates different outcomes. They learn and explore how a log curve is used in this model. This activity aligns with MATH 1332 Learning Outcome 6: Demonstrate the ability to choose and analyze mathematical models to solve problems from real-world settings, including, but not limited to, personal finance, health literacy, and civic engagement

The following demonstrations were compiled from MIT OpenCourseware (MIT OpenCourseWare | Free Online Course Materials). Although they are labeled as demonstrations, they may be adjusted to be used appropriately for exam questions, assignments, discussion topics.

Upon successful completion of this assignment, students will
- create a well-organized essay that describes in vivid detail a significant person, place, event, moment, or object that has impacted their life or perspective.
- evaluate the effectiveness of their drafting by seeking feedback from peers and revising to improve clarity, organization, and impact.

Dredging equipment, mechanical dredgers, hydraulic dredgers, boundary conditions, design criteria, instrumentation and automation.

This resource contains a student activity handout, class notes, and a facilitation guide. Students work together to discover one-to-one correspondences between various infinite sets of numbers and the set of natural numbers. At the end of this activity the compiled results of their group work form a list of infinite sets that all have the same cardinality as the set of natural numbers. Instructors may take this lesson further by discussion countably infinite versus uncountably infinite sets. This activity aligns with MATH 1332 Learning Outcome 1: Apply the language and notation of sets
