Hands-on
Math Activities
These hands-on activities were designed specifically
for Algebra I and Calculus students at the Austin
schools targeted by the AIM for Engineering
project. All activities require equipment, such as gear
kits, pullback cars, or water rocket launchers. Teacher
who participate in the AIM professional development
program receive all required equipment in addition to
the teacher notes and student handouts. Anyone interested
is welcome to use the teacher notes and student handouts.

Question Bank
The AIM for Engineering Question Bank allows you to
select questions from each module and generate a quiz,
test, homework problems, or other type of assessment.
You may compile questions from different modules. The
level of difficulty for each question is indicated.
Level 1 is easiest and level 4 is most difficult. Two
PDF files will be created – a student document
and an answer key. You can print and/or save the files.

K-14 Learning Grid
The K-14 Learning Grid website catalogs outreach programs
available to students and teachers at the kindergarten
through high school level and beyond. In addition to
the searchable catalog of programs, visitors can rate
the programs and provide feedback. The site also allows
visitors to set up a profile for themselves so that
they can track the programs that they have attended,
indicate their interests, and be notified of new programs
that come online that might be useful. Visit the Learning
Grid at http://www.engr.utexas.edu/k14/.
