How do Gizmos Support the Standards for Mathematical Content?

The Common Core's content standards not only define what students should know in mathematics, but also explore how they learn it. Gizmos are highly interactive, online simulations that help students develop a deep understanding of challenging mathematical topics and the "how's" and "why's" behind them. With Gizmos, students don't just read or listen or watch. Instead, they are actively engaged, manipulating key variables and working with multiple visual representations to truly make sense of the math they are learning.

Gizmos support Common Core's content standards for...

  • Common Core
  • Mathematical Content
  • Mathematical Practice
  • Assessments

Example Gizmo

Distance-Time Graphs

See how Gizmo simulations and Lesson Materials help students develop deep mathematical understanding.

Distance-Time Graphs

The Gizmo simulation provides the foundation for student learning. In the Distance-Time Graphs Gizmo, students create a graph of a runner's position versus time, and watch the runner complete a 40-yard dash based on the graph they made. Add a second runner, as shown above, and connect real-world meaning to the intersection of the two graphs.
