Maximizing Volume: Cubic Functions (popcorn lab)
Student will create boxes from graph paper. Their goal is to make a bog with the biggest volume possible. They will then determine an equation representing the volume of a box. They'll use a graphing calculator to determine the maximum volume and height of the box as well as the domain and range. at the end of the activity they will determine how many pieces of popcorn could fit in their box. the teacher will then give them popcorn to snack on. This activity is a HIT! especially with those

Scatterplots: Linear Regression Line of Best Fit:Forearms and Height (Editable)
After teaching my students about scatterplots, correlation, and the line of best fit, I take a day for them to do a hands-on lab, in which they measure their height (in inches) and their forearm length (from the tip of their elbow, to the bony point on their wrist), and we plot the class data, write the equation of the line of best fit, and then use the equation generated both forwards and backwards. They will need 45 minutes to an hour to do this in class.
Some years, the data have very littl

Introduction to Polynomials Functions Lab (PBL PrBL Activity)
This lab is meant to launch your Polynomials unit in an Algebra 2 class or an Honors Algebra 1 class. This is a perfect addition to any PrBL/PBL run class. Before teaching students anything, let them explore an application for a polynomial (cubic) function and derive a function themselves. The pre-lab directs students to build an open-face-box out of a single piece of paper with the largest volume possible in any way they choose (do not give them any further directions!). At the end of the pre-l

Angled Projectile Lab
This is a lab assignment I created for projectiles launched at different angles. Students will compare the horizontal distances, time in the air, and height achieved by the marble at different launch angles. They will need to do some calculation, and answer conclusion questions at the end.

Polynomial Functions Exploration (PrBL PBL Activity)
This lab is designed to 1) introduce the relationship between a function rule, written in intercept form, and the zeros on a graph for all polynomial functions & introduce the concept of end behavior 2) allow students an opportunity to review multiplying polynomials and plotting coordinates precisely by hand. My students were lacking a strong Algebra 2 foundation so I designed this lab for them to raise them up to Pre-Calculus concepts (polynomial behaviors based on the way the function rule

Math Lab:Exponential Functions and Seed Overproduction vs Time/DISTANCE LEARNING
My students totally enjoy doing the following math lab! They invariably find it to be both fun to do as well as informative. They readily relate to discussions within.
* Students work with a partner
* Students begin by a brief discussion about seed overproduction
* Students are provided with assumptions used to complete the lab
* Students work collaboratively to determine the number of seeds in a bell pepper
* Students find the average number of seeds in a bell pepper using the totals

My First Car - The Algebra of Personal Finance
This real world activity will help students determine what they can afford when looking into buying their first car. Using the amortization formula, students will determine how much they can borrow as a loan. Additionally students will learn about the interest they have to pay on a loan, and will determine ways to reduce the amount of interest they will pay over the life of a loan.

Solving Triangles using Excel (Editable)
I think that when we use technology in the classroom with our students, we should teach them to use technology as a tool. One of the best applications for using a spreadsheet in class is in the solution of triangles. After my students have mastered the laws of sines and cosines with handheld calculators, and are familiar with the ambiguous case, I have them redo the same problems using excel.
It is a very challenging activity for them.

Discovering Sine and Cosine Function Graphs
In this activity, students will use a linked Geogebra to explore the graphs of sine and cosine functions. They will manipulate the amplitude, the period, the phase shift, and the vertical shift parameters to determine how changing those parameters in the function affects its graph. They will reflect on how the algebra of the function relates to its geometry. They will then reflect upon what they have done by coming up with an equation for the period of the functions, exploring the sine/cosine

Modeling Tides with Trig Functions
In this activity, students analyze data sets about water depth through the daily tidal cycle. While completing this activity, students:-- practice computing the parameters of sinusoidal functions and check their work by fitting an equation to the scatterplot-- interpret the meaning of different parameters in context-- determine how a verbal description of changes to the environment would impact parameter values-- introduce a new term to a basic sinusoidal function to incorporate changes in globa

Value verses Mileage of a Honda Accord EX and a Chrysler Systems Problem
In this lesson activity, students explore the value verses mileage of two different cars. The students use linear regression find a line of best fit for the value vs. mileage of each car. The two lines form a system of linear equations. Using their data and equations, students can determine when the values of the cars will be the same and decide which car depreciates at a slower rate.
