Algebra 1 End of the Year Project
This is a great project idea to connect topics in Algebra 1 with the real world. In the past, I have used this project as something to be presented after End of Course Exams. The students will take an Algebra 1 topic of their choice and relate to something in the real world. I have had students come back with projects on the following: Reading Music (functions with scales); Catering (conversions with recipes); Real Estate (multiple topics); Statistics of various activities or surveys (Graphs

2024 March Mathness Madness NCAA Basketball Probability and Statistics Lesson
Every year I get my students excited about the NCAA Men's Basketball March Madness Tournament. I see articles written year after year from statisticians, sports journalist, celebrities, etc. about predicting the perfect bracket. Regardless that most have accepted it is nearly impossible, it has not deterred these enthusiast from finding an algorithm or a machine that can predict the outcomes.This packet guides students through 1) An explanation of what March Madness is all about2) A reading abou

End of Year Project
This EIGHT PROJECT BUNDLE (!!!!!) will keep your Algebra 1, Geometry, or Algebra 2 students busy for the last 1 - 3 weeks of school doing either independent or group projects, with or without access to technology. Projects include rubrics and grading criteria for the most part, although I sometimes just grade this with a daily participation grade rather than for correctness. Project topics include:
- Area and Perimeter -- Design Your Own Playground!

Solving Equations and Inequalities Activity (Connect the Dots)
This is an activity to help students understand solving Equations and Inequalities. The front side of the activity has a variety of problems that, when solved correctly, tell which dots to connect in order to create a hidden picture on the back! Just in case you are wondering, yes, that is in fact Harry Potter! Students enjoy trying to figure out what picture is hidden behind all the math; this is a great puzzle activity and a great “thinker!”

Prime Factorization (or Factor Tree)
This activity / assessment has 16 questions where the student fills in the factor tree. It is a great way to start the kids thinking about factoring polynomials. it will also tell you who knows their multiplication tables.
The students who could do these were able to factor more easily and were more likely to be able to apply it to factoring polynomials like
x^2 + 10x +21
(x+3)(x+7)
I put in an answer key too so you could leave this with a substitute teacher :-)

Rational or Irrational? Coloring Activity
This activity asks students to determine if the given numbers are rational or irrational (8.NS.1). Students choose two colors (one for rational and one for irrational) and color code the numbered pieces of the geometric shape. There are two different sets included which could be used as a review and quick assessment in the same format. It can also be used as a classroom activity or in math centers.
Pictorial keys are included which makes grading quick and easy. Student artwork can be tessel

Solve Systems of Equations by Substitution Visual Activity
This is a student tested activity. Solving systems of equations with substitution can seem so abstract to students. The visual part of the activity has students actually cutting out the part that is substituted! I have taught this concept for 10+ years and this has to be the best way I have found to introduce this to students. The activity comes with directions and an answer key.
