As the school year ends, it's easy for students to lose their momentum. One way to help ease students into summer mode, but still sneak in some math review, is to find engaging activities. Kathleen Palmieri shares favorites from Jo Boaler that can also be saved for fall warm-ups. The post Math Explorations to Engage Your Students first appeared on MiddleWeb.

We’ve all heard the joke about how the Twinkies at your local supermarket could survive a nuclear war--or at least a few decades. It is more than common to have such stores filled with rows and rows of processed food. This processed nature of certain products allows them to last longer, as manufacturers will often add preservatives into the product in the process--the same preservatives that keep those Twinkies long-lasting.

I have an aluminum cylinder here. I hang the cylinder from a string, and attach the top end of the string to a force probe.* The probe reads 1.1 N. * Or a spring scale. This particular experiment can be done with 1960s equipment. Next, I am planning to keep the cylinder attached to the force probe, but submerge the cylinder completely in a beaker of water, without the cylinder touching the bottom of the beaker.

By 2035, more than half of the world’s population will be obese. We chose to ignore this elephant in the room for far too long. The global obesity rate has doubled in women, tripled in men, and quadrupled in children between 1990 and 2022, with over a billion people living with obesity. Obesity is a chronic disease that impacts various body systems and can lead to other diseases such as diabetes, cardiovascular issues, strokes, and cancer.

The instructor’s PPT slides are brilliant. You’ve splurged on the expensive interactive courseware. Student engagement is stellar. So… why are half of your students still forgetting everything they learned in just a matter of weeks? It's likely a matter of cognitive science! With so much material to "teach" these days, we often forget to incorporate key proven principles into our curricula — namely active recall, metacognition, spaced repetition, and interleaving practice.

People frequently associate nanotechnology with “superhero tech” based on various movies that depict it as such. Even though it isn’t possible to construct a suit using nanotechnology yet, there have been incredible advances in the field. This niche part of technology is used to improve the designs of products in several ways, although it’s not commonly recognized.
