I Found it on Twitter

The July Crisis: Can you stop the Great War? - This is a scenario-based lesson that requires students to attempt to prevent World War I.  Student teams are assigned a country and they must prepare an oral presentation that identifies the country's background and history as well as their long term and short term reasons explaining why their country would be willing to go to war.  After all students have presented, the groups must take into account everything that was said and formulate a potential peace agreement.  Finally, the class gets divided into 4 groups and begin negotiations.  If they cannot come to a consensus after 45 minutes they must draft a declaration of war.

Math Interactives - This site includes interactive and print activities as well as videos that show students how math is used in everyday life.
