Backyard Project - Perimeter, Area, and Volume - Real World Applications
This project is the culmination of the perimeter, area, volume unit. It can be used as a task for the Common Core, or real world application of the measurement unit. Students estimate the cost to build a backyard, with a swimming pool, deck, shed, playset area, garden, and brick walkway. Using the calculations and costs associated with purchasing materials needed to construct the different parts, students will generate the total cost of the project, without labor. With the dimensions provide

Distance, Rate and Time
This lab will get your students up and moving! And guess what? It's a MATH lab. That's right --I'm combining exercise and math over here :-)
The target level for this lab is algebra 1 (typically 8th or 9th graders), but some advanced pre-algebra students will be able to handle it as well. Students should have a very basic understanding of systems of linear equations and percent error calculations before jumping into this activity.
The hands-on portion of this lab is written to be conducted o

Everything on Quadratics
Use this activity to help your students discover and practice Quadratics. It covers graphing, quadratic formula, factoring, zeroes, roots, solutions, x-intercepts, axis of symmetry, min/max, increasing/decreasing intervals, and the vertex. Everything is on one page, so students learn that there are multiple ways to find the zeroes of a quadratic. Their knowledge allows them to pick the best method. This pack includes 2 versions, 16 total problems, all problems worked out in the included key.

X vs Y: A Variable Recording and Graphing Lab
A 3 day to week long laboratory exploration into independent and dependent variables, and how equations like y=mx+b can describe the relationships between them.After breaking down the lab's instructions, students will get to choose their own x and y variables and then come up with a procedure for gathering data. Depending on how outgoing/creative they are, collecting the data for this lab can be a blast! Once they have 20 (x,y) samples, they will graph them and draw a line that fits the data. Th
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.

Parallax Measurements, and Determining the Distances and Heights of Objects
Embarking on an exploration into the realms of applied mathematics, this project uncovers how such mathematical principles can be utilized to determine the solar parallax of distant celestial bodies. The task set forth aims to expand students' understanding of mathematical applications within the context of real-world phenomena. By bridging the gap between abstract mathematical theory and tangible cosmic observations, the project aims to foster an appreciation for the interconnectedness of diffe

Middle School Math Workshop: Red and White Pattern Exploration
Are you using workshop-style lessons in your middle school math classroom? If you're not you should: they are easy to prep for, allow for differentiated learning, and instant assessment.If we want our students to actually learn the facts, concepts, and ideas we’re trying to teach them, they have to experience those things in some way that rises above abstract symbols on paper. They have to process them. Manipulate them.To really learn in a way that will stick, they have to DO something. Worksho

Theory in Practice
This activity requires students to flip a coin 100 times and calculate the cumulative probability for each trial of ten. Students should begin to develop the concept of theoretical versus experimental probability as the cumulative number of flips increases. Recognizing independent events, graphing scatter plots, and calculating percentages are skills students will practice during this activity. Teachers may use this activity as an introductory lesson for a unit on probability, in a statistics

Patterns in Polygons
This activity requires students to create diagonals in various polygons to determine the sum of the measures of the angles in those polygons and the total number of diagonals that can be constructed in each polygon. In addition to pattern recognition and developing formulas, students graph the data they collect to demonstrate linear and non-linear functions. Teachers can use this activity in an Algebra or Geometry course.
