This resource contains a student activity handout, a facilitation guide, example solutions, and class notes. 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.

Build rectangles of various sizes and relate multiplication to area. Partition a rectangle into two areas to discover the distributive property.

Build rectangles of various sizes and relate multiplication to area. Discover new strategies for multiplying large numbers. Use the game screen to test your problem solving strategies!

This activity explores what it means for a computer to be intelligent and introduces the topic of what a computer program is and how everything computers do simply involves following instructions written by (creative) computer programmers. Learners interact with a piece of paper that contains rules for playing a perfect game of noughts-and-crosses (tic-tac-toe). The activity contains some thought provoking (and humorous) discussion questions. Explanation, variations, extensions, and resources are included in the PDF.

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

Grammar Bowl is a game designed to review important grammar rules with students in a group setting. The game can be played individually; however, small groups of 2-3 students collaborating often creates a competitive, albeit friendly, atmosphere that encourages students to think and work quickly.

In Their Moccasins is an online narrative branching (choose your own adventure style) game designed to build capacity for empathy for Indigenous students’ lived realities. Many Canadians think of Indigenous issues as a thing of the past, yet the horrors of colonization continue to have an impact. Nevertheless, Indigenous students display a great deal of resilience in navigating their day to day lives. This game, designed by Indigenous students, will be a helpful tool for educators and folks looking to build their Indigenous knowledges skillset.

This resource contains a facilitation guide. Students practice data analysis and review the point-slope form of a line. This activity primarily aligns with MATH 1332 Learning Outcome 5: Interpret and analyze various representations of data.

The Open Resource site is intended to facilitate discovery and use of open resources starting with Open Educational Resources (OER). The Open Resource site will continue to develop and change depending on the needs of the community, and are outlined in the future developments section. Essentially it is a place to search for all the places to search for OER.

This resource contains a transcript of lessons, a facilitation guide, and three activity handouts. Guides students’ understanding of inflation using the Consumer Price Index average price data. This activity primarily aligns with MATH 1332 Learning Outcome 3: Solve problems in mathematics of finance. It also algins with MATH 1332 Learning Outcomes 5 & 6.

The Teach the Earth Portal has hundreds of high school through higher ed geoscience educator shared content ranging from low stakes to high stakes undergraduate core level to graduate level resources. More recently, have also added virtual field experiences appropriate for core course to upper division field camp (in response to pandemic necessity for Summer 2020 Field Camp revisioning). Many of the contributions are from members or partners with the National Association for Geoscience Teachers. There is an ongoing review process by professional peers to vet content submitted / aggregated into this portal during the past several decades.

The Texas Core to Open site is intended to facilitate discovery and use of open resources for core courses across the state of Texas at institutions of higher education. The Texas Core to Open site will continue to develop and change depending on the needs of the community, and are outlined in the future developments section. This resource is intended to ease the burden of finding materials to consider for a common core course, but the instructor of record is the subject matter expert, and final decision maker when it comes to what material is appropriate for their students.
