3
GUS Goal, Usable information, Setup/solve

• GUS Template
• Example of how it was utilized

4
Jigsaw

• Students split into separate groups, where each
  group is responsible for reading/learning/explaini
  ng a particular problem and becoming experts
• Then, new groups are created where experts from
  different groups teach each other what they just
  read or learned
• Knowledge is demonstrated either through
  presentations, randomly calling on students, or
  quizzing

5
Quadratics visualization/mindmaps

• Quadratics flow charts
• Quadratic flow chart template
• Quadratics vocabulary activity
• Quadratics random draw students have to pick
  two terms from the list and show in writing, or
  through an example how they are connected

6
Creating Art with Mathematics

• Students have to create an art project using
  graphs of equations
• Students do all of the research on their own,
  including looking up other kinds of equations not
  studied in class
• Example projects here for you to browse
  students also had a written piece that showed all
  of the equations they used
