Students approximate the volume of The Great Pyramid of Giza by calculating the volume of each layer. This requires finding the angle of elevation then using similar right triangles to approximate the width of each step so they can find the width of
This resource combines Harry Potter (information is provided for students who may not know Harry Potter) and linear change. Students interpret parts of slope-intercept to match equations to characters and determine their rates of change and what
Students create their own definition of circles, spheres, surface area, and volume to relate the topics. Then, video aides explore the relationship between circles and surface area, volume of cones and volume of spheres. Students use these
Students investigate the volume of a cone by approximating it as cylinders. This is an introduction to the concept of Calculus. Students are then introduced to the formal definition of a cone and how it relates to the volume of a cylinder in video
Four weeks into remote learning, I am finally reviewing Quadratics. We skipped quadratic formula and completing the square to avoid tremendous amounts of confusion and misconceptions. This review is written at a level the students can (hopefully)
This is a hands on, student-centered activity that has students measuring the volume of a drip of water using science equipment and basic math calculations. Students generate a linear equation and do many conversions. This is a great lesson to get
This is a BINGO board with 25 systems of equations review problems. Topics covered include solving systems using all methods, systems of inequalities, word problems, writing systems, and interpreting solutions.This was a whole period review activity
