Quadratic Function Activity About Your Dental Arch
Through this activity students will discover properties of parabolas while comparing the parabola they all carry around with them every day - their dental arch. Students will brainstorm ways to measure a dental arch and ultimately take an "impression" of their arch by taking a bite out of a slice of bread. Then they will trace their arch onto a graph, use the graph to generate a table of values, and then use the table to plug into an equation for the most "perfect" dental arch. Students love

Activity: Measuring in Units of My Foot - Writing Simple Equations
In this activity, students use measuring skills & write one-step equations. An answer key is provided. Students measure the length of their foot (in inches) and use it as a base unit for expressing the length of different objects. Students use the variable "f" and a coefficient (number of footsteps) to write a simple equation for the length of an object. You can add the challenge of having students evaluate the expression. This measuring activity can be used in a math or numeracy class, as w
