Smooth operations: connecting fractions, decimals and percents
description: View item in the U of T Libraries catalogue Takes viewers through an introduction to the relationships that exist among fractions, decimals, and percents. Juggling, magic tricks, and other stunts illustrate mathematical concepts in a fun and lively way. The first part of the video helps students become adept at converting back and forth among the different rations. The second part addresses the various basic operations and how knowledge and command of all three representations of ratios make problem solving much easier. 1 videocassette (25 min. : sd., col. ; 1/2 in. VHS)), teacher's resource book, 1 set of 54 ratio game cards (at the back of the book) ; in a box.

Solar cell demonstration
description: View item in the U of T Libraries catalogue
description: The Solar Cell Demonstrator includes a base, solar cells and a motor. Simply attach the cells to the base and watch as the entire disk whirls around in the sunlight! This little solar cell is a fantastic way to demonstrate to your students (ages 6 and up) the real-life impact of solar energy, as well as open their imaginations to what can be accomplished by powering the world through the sun. The kit’s solar cells are made of layers of silicon, and in bright sunlight, these cells produce approximately .5 volts DC and 300 milliamps.

Solar system simulator
description: View item in the U of T Libraries catalogue The Solar System Simulator model encourages learning about the solar system through its three-dimensional representation of the sun and planets. Designed to provide an understanding of sizes, distances, colours, and speeds at which the planets travel around the sun, this model helps to demonstrate what planets are visible at any given date and why some planets are visible only at certain times of the year.

Sphero BOLT
description: View item in the U of T Libraries catalogue Sphero SPRK+ and Sphero BOLT are both spherical robots that can be programmed to move in different directions, following real-world, drawn out pathways or digitally encoded directions. To use these robots, you must first download the Sphero Edu App, which is available for download on iOS, Android, Kindle, Mac, Windows, and Chrome. In the app, you can program your robot to complete activities and use pre-existing programs to explore their functionalities. They are appropriate for various levels of learning: according to the Sphero Edu website, you can “learn to program your robot by drawing a path, using a sequence of code blocks, or writing your own JavaScript code.” As a teacher, you can even assign activities to learners in your classroom through the app, customizing the learning experience for your students! The Sphero Code Mat and Activity Card Set is intended for use with either of the programmable Sphero robots. It has two layouts to explore: a cityscape and a golf course. The mat comes with 3 identical sets of 20 cards that outline programming challenges to be completed by one or more Sphero robots in conjunction with the Sphero Edu App. Each activity card outlines a scenario which must be solved by programming the Sphero robot to move through the Code Mat in a specified way, including a QR code that links directly to the Sphero Edu App. The mat is large enough that multiple students may be able to undertake different activities at once. The Sphero robots can be used separately or together and in conjunction with the Sphero Code Mat and Activity Card Set. They’re great for learners in grades 3 and up — and for eager teachers who want a chance to play with coding and programming themselves!
