Materials List 2020 PROJECT SMART MAKING MATHEMATICS MEANINGFUL TEXAS EDUCATION AGENCY Materials List 2020 https://www.projectsmart.net This page intentionally left blank. Project SMART: Making Mathematics Meaningful List of Materials by Units OVER VIEW Materials Not Listed The Project SMART List of Materials does not include the following basic items, since these should be provided for each student by the program: • Student journal (composition book or spiral) • Pencils • Markers In addition, all teachers should have access to the following for use throughout most of the lessons (along with any general teaching supplies): • Chart paper or poster board • Markers • Dry erase board and markers, or interactive white board • Sticky notes Materials Listed This page intentionally left blank. There are six instructional components that require materials within each Project SMART unit: • Math Lessons • STEM Connection • Fun with Fractions • Spiral Review • Family Game • Literature Lessons This materials list does include all items which may need to be purchased for all six of these components. Copies/reproducible handouts and cardstock items, which will need to be made by the program, are not listed. Center-based programs typically teach all six components if offering at least a six-hour day. Programs with shorter days may choose to omit the Literature Lessons, Fun with Fractions, or STEM lesson, since those concepts are not explicitly assessed by the program. Home-based programs teach the Math Lessons; all other components are optional. NOTE: Materials listed for the Family Game component indicate the quantity needed for the teacher to teach the game to the students. In order to meet the program objective for parental engagement, additional materials must be provided to each student for home use, with both Center-based and Home-based programs. Copyright © 2020. Texas Education Agency. All Rights Reserved. 3 List of Materials by Units Project SMART: Making Mathematics Meaningful VIDEOS Video Lessons Each Project SMART math lesson includes a segment where the majority of the math content objectives are addressed. Because not all Project SMART teachers are math specialists, video lessons of these segments taught by math content specialists are available for teachers to use. There are two ways the Project SMART teacher may utilize the lesson videos: • Allow the video teacher to deliver the instruction of this segment of the lesson. Actively facilitate student learning as they participate in the video lesson. • Watch the video lesson to ensure knowledge of the content to be taught in the lesson. Video lessons will be available at no cost via streaming through the Project SMART portal; access to the portal will be provided at the Project SMART training for 2019. Video lessons may also be purchased on DVD. This method is recommended if your Center- based program experiences internet connectivity issues, or if you are delivering a Home-based program. Teacher Instructional Videos In addition to the math lesson videos, teachers may also want to watch the Teacher Instructional Videos. These videos were created by the Project SMART math lesson video teacher to review the content addressed in the math lesson at a deeper level and ensure teachers can facilitate the math lesson successfully. These videos also explain how to complete the Cognitively Guided Instruction (CGI) activity, how to play the Family Game, and how to implement the Spiral Reviews, Fun with Fractions, and STEM lessons. Teacher Instructional Videos will be available for streaming at the Project SMART portal or for purchase as a DVD. Ordering Information Video lesson DVDs and Teacher Instructional Video DVDs will be available for purchase through the ESC 20 website: www.esc20.net. Click the e-Store button and search for Project SMART. An email will be sent to all ESC contacts when the ordering site is live. 4 Copyright © 2020. Texas Education Agency. All Rights Reserved.

  • Dot Tower Challenge
    Dot Tower Challenge In this fun but challenging activity, kids become engineers, using critical thinking, problem-solving, and creativity to plan, design, build and improve an index card tower. Fun Facts/Information: Ÿ Towers technically are defined as structures that usually are taller than they are wide. Ÿ Towers generally are distinguished from masts by their lack of guy-wires (a tensioned cable designed to add stability to a free-standing structure), and commonly are built to take advantage of their height. Ÿ Towers also can stand alone on the ground or as part of a larger structure or device, such as a fortified building or an integral part of a bridge. Ÿ Having existed since primitive times, towers have served as structures that support bridges, and even prisons (think of the classic fairy tale, Rapunzel). Ÿ The Tokyo Skytree, completed in 2012, is the tallest tower in the world at 634 meters (2,080 feet). It is the world's second tallest structure after Burji Khalifa, a 2,716.5-foot skyscraper located in the United Arab Emirates. Ÿ The Stratosphere Tower in Las Vegas, Nevada is the 19th tallest observation tower in the world, standing 350.2 meters (1,149 feet) tall, and was constructed in 1996. Objective: Ÿ Challenge children to be engineers and build the tallest dot tower out of index cards and sticker dots. Ÿ Reinforce that engineers are problem solvers who invent, design, analyze, build and test machines, computer systems, structures, gadgets and materials to fulfill functional objects and requirements. This all is done while considering the limitations imposed by practicality, regulation, safety and cost.

  • Send Postcards to Space
    SEND POSTCARDS TO SPACE “Hi, I’m Hossain Ahmad. I’m an intern working for Blue Origin on the New Glenn rocket, which will help build the road to space by carrying people and payloads to Earth orbit and beyond. As societies are created, it’s important to define a set of values and principles for its inhabitants to reference every day to guide their work and stay true to their society’s mission.” As we think about expanding human endeavors in space, we have an exciting opportunity to think about the common set of values to guide and govern large societies as people collaborate together in space—and with each other. WHAT PRINCIPLES WOULD YOU INCLUDE IN A SPACE CONSTITUTION? YOUR MISSION: Create a constitution or define a set of values to govern a settlement in space. Once you’ve developed your idea, cut out the postcard below and draw or write your idea for a space constitution on the blank side. Put your address and a stamp on the front, place it in an envelope and mail it to: Club for the Future / PO Box 5759 / Kent, WA / 98064. Blue Origin will send it to space and back on its New Shepard rocket. The postcard will then get stamped ‘Flown to Space’ and mailed back to you for a special space-flown keepsake. On the blank side, draw or write your idea for a new constitution to govern a society in space. On this side, write a message, your address, and add a stamp. Your Name Your Street Address City, State / Province Zip Code Country www.clubforfuture.org FUELED BY TEACHER LESSON PLAN - SEND POSTCARDS TO SPACE Space constitution INTRODUCTION Opportunities for innovation in the space economy are increasing rapidly.

  • Building Blocks for Task-Based Instant Challenges Examples and Tips For
    Building Blocks for Task-Based Instant Challenges Examples and Tips for Team Managers Intended Use and Assumptions • This document is intended to provide a reference for team managers, so that they, in turn, can train their teams. • The building blocks included are not intended to be an exhaustive list, but samples of common ones often used/seen in IC solutions. • The more complex samples are intended to show combinations of building blocks and other materials for a more complete IC solution. • Although the information provided is for developing team member and team skills for solving Instant Challenges, many of the skills can be used/translated to developing Team Challenge solutions. The Team Manager must be careful not to commit interference by telling their team if/how to apply IC work to their Team Challenge solution. Tips for Use • Make IC Building Block practice FUN! Hopefully, this practice time will be more like play time than any kind of timed, goal-oriented IC. • Ideally, all team members will get the opportunity to develop strong building skills with common IC materials through practice at various DI meetings and events. At the beginning, it may be more effective for team members to learn and practice their building skills as individuals or in pairs. Giving team members time to explore and play with the materials without the time pressure of an IC can facilitate improvements in construction skills and creativity. • Have team members/pairs make building blocks. Then ask team members to combine their building blocks into a single structure/device. • The quality and speed of building assemblies/structures/devices/etc.
