This packet is aligned with the Common Core Math Standard 1.G.1 (Reason with shapes and their attributes) Defining and Non-defining attributes can be vague concepts for students. The vocabulary alone is a bit tricky, but getting them to understand why any of it matters can be even trickier. This packet is a tool to help with this common core-based standard as students practice sorting the attributes of a shape into either a defining or non-defining group. Includes: The set includes a color sort, which makes for a good center activity. There are also lesson ideas and two student worksheet sorts. Easel Ready The Easel component includes an interactive colored version with two pages that allow students to drag and sort the defining and non-defining attributes. Here are a couple of other resources you might be interested in: Free Video on how I use this packet - https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Defining-and-Non-Defining-Attributes-of-a-Shape-Video-3240955 Learning Defining and Non-Defining Attributes of a Shape Book https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Learning-Defining-and-Non-Defining-Attributes-of-a-Shape-Book-3059924
The Wooden Bridge - view from Silver Street bridge. The bridge was built in 1749 by James Essex the Younger (1722-1784) to the design of William Etheridge (1709-1776). It has subsequently been rebuilt to the same design in 1866 and 1905. The red-brick building on the right is the President's Lodge (ca 1460, the oldest building on the river at Cambridge).

Transitions can be one of the most challenging parts of the teaching day. One of my best tips is to shift how you look at transitions. Clearly, transitions are the changing times between main activities and group times. It is often transport time and preparation time. When you view it from this perspective – it […]

The Survival Guide to Organic Chemistry: Bridging the Gap from General Chemistry enables organic chemistry students to bridge the gap between general chemistry and organic chemistry. It makes sense of the myriad of in-depth concepts of organic chemistry, without overwhelming them in the necessary detail often given in a complete organic chemistry text. Here, the topics covered span the entire standard organic chemistry curriculum. The authors describe subjects which require further explanation, offer alternate viewpoints for understanding and provide hands-on practical problems and solutions to help master the material. This text ultimately allows students to apply key ideas from their general chemistry curriculum to key concepts in organic chemistry. Key Features: Reviews key general chemistry concepts and techniques, adapted for application to important organic principles Provides practical guidance to help students make the notoriously well-known and arduous transition from general chemistry to organic chemistry Explains organic concepts and reaction mechanisms, generally expanding the focus on how to understand each step from a more intuitive viewpoint Covers concepts that need further explanation as well as those that summarize and emphasize key ideas or skills necessary in this field. An added bonus is help with organizing principles to make sense of a wide range of similar reactions and mechanisms Implements a user-friendly process to achieve the end result of problem solving Covers organic chemistry I and II concepts at the level and depth of a standard ACS organic chemistry curriculum; features practice problems and solutions to help master the material, including an extensive and comprehensive bank of practice exams with solutions

What is Hyperbolic Function? Hyperbolic functions We know that parametric co-ordinates of any point on the unit circle x2 + y2 = 1 is (cos θ, sin θ); so that these functions are called circular functions and co-ordinates of any point on unit hyperbola is It means that the relation which exists amongst cos θ, sin […]
