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.

In this activity, students become reporters, are assigned to sort through photographs, and find one that will bring the war alive to their readers. They write a newspaper article based on their chosen photograph and publish it on the Internet. This project is meant to be incorporated into a broad unit on the Civil War. The project will work best if it is started in the latter part of the unit. That way, students will have some background knowledge about the events of the war.

The Classroom Materials section features lesson plans, themed resources, primary source sets, presentations and activities, and collection connections. The Presentations & Activities sub-section offers media-rich historical content or interactive opportunities for exploration to both teachers and students.

This historical site consists of fifty-nine sound recordings of speeches by American leaders at the turn of the century. The speeches focus on issues and events surrounding the First World War and the presidential election of 1920. Text of speeches is also available. RealAudio, MP3, or Windows Media player is needed to listen to the recordings. (Most PC's probably have at least the Windows Media Player.)

In this lesson, students will examine a copy of twelve possible amendments to the United States Constitution as originally sent to the states for their ratification in September of 1789. Students will debate and vote on which of these amendments they would ratify and compare their resulting “Bill of Rights” to the ten amendments ratified by ten states that have since been known by this name.
