Adapted from Thinking, Fast and Slow by Daniel Kahneman (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, 2011) Solve this problem as quickly as possible: A bat and a ball cost $1.10 in total. The bat costs $1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost? Did you say $0.10? If so you fell into the trap of automatic thinking. The correct answer is $0.05. So why do so many people quickly answer $0.10? Our brain works on two systems, system 1 (the limbic system) allows us to think fast, but it lacks accuracy.

This is a digital simulation that models natural selection of imaginary butterflies in three different environments. Students take on the role of a predator and have 20 seconds to "eat" as many butterflies as they can by typing the letter "e" in the colored box. After 20 seconds, students collect data by counting the remaining butterflies of each color. Students fill in a data table which populates percentages and graphs. Finally, students analyze their data and graphs and answer reflection

This is a google slides activity that allows students to practice using a scale to model and solve two step equations. The last slide is blank and can be used as a template to create your own equation slides, or as a template for students to model their own equations. I use this after having students model solving equations with manipulatives.

Students will solve 10 problems using unit rates via Google™ Sheets. . See preview to view all problems. Problems are introductory level and intended to reinforce the idea of finding the ratio to one unit. Correct answers will be indicated by the box color changing from white to green for each correct answer and students will be rewarded with colored pixels appearing in the mystery image. Incorrect answers will be indicated by the box color changing to red and colored pixels will not be r
