Classroom Exercises
These exercises were developed in CAST workshops from 2006-2011 by teachers in western Pennsylvania. Most include a lesson plan and accompanying models.
The models are bundled into .zip files. Once you have downloaded a project, use the unzip program to extract the individual files.
All of these exercises are geared to high school students.
