In this activity, students learn about linear equations through a series of videos. The video tutorials can be used to enhance classroom instruction, to help a student needing remediation, or for extended student practice at home.

The Khan Academy is filled with video presentations on a multitude of math subjects and worked examples of math problems.

It is organized according to math Subject: Algebra then Topic: Solving linear equations. Then under this more focused topic, there are many other choices. For instance, a student can review or be introduced to the Order of Operations and how important this is in solving complex math problems.

Loom is a new free Chrome Extension that allows you to quickly record a video message and/or screencast and then shares it immediately with students and colleagues. You can embed the video in your Moodle course or on your Website. Loom also integrates well with Google Classroom. You can share your videos via Gmail; and if you send them to another Gmail user, Loom will insert a video player into your email so your video can be played in your email. Videos can also be shared directly on Twitter and Facebook. What stands out about Loom is its ease of use.

In this activity, students read about a project to dam the Danube River for hydroelectric power and flood control, and the conflicts that surround the project. Then students take on stakeholder roles and imagine they will present their point of view about how the conflict can be solved to the International Court of Justice. They present to their classmates. Students are then asked to select an alternative location for the Gabcíkovo-Nagymaros Dam that causes less conflict in terms of environmental concerns, shifting borders, and trade.

This is the second of 5 lessons. Students gather their ideas about the land and peoples of Europe. They map and create lists of things they know about Europe and generate questions they have about the land and peoples of Europe.

The overall theme of this teacher-tested unit is using maps to understand borders and their impacts in Europe. The materials will help your students to use maps to think about how borders intersect physical and human geographical features, and how those intersections can lead to cooperation and/or conflict. The educator resources provided in the unit include maps, multimedia, and case studies that will enable students to develop skills in map analysis and apply that analysis to specific situations. Other parts of the unit will invite you and your students to explore similar cases in Europe and your own community.
