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.

Math Lab: Investigating Second-hand Smoke Using Inequality Symbols
This lab is great to use as reinforcement to newly learned lessons, or it can be used as a semester review! Honestly, this is one of my favorites!* Working with a partner, students use balloons to measure the volume of a single breath of air and apply their calculations to determine (mathematically) how much second-hand smoke they breathe when exposed!* In the process of making their discovery, students use the circumference formula in a variety of forms in order to find a radius, and ultimatel

Math Grade 8: Writing Linear Equations
This one-day lesson is designed to introduce the idea of writing equations based upon observed linear relationships between two quantities. In this hands-on activity adapted from NCTM, students will make predictions, represent observations numerically, in a tabular, and graphically. Based upon Aesop’s Fable, The Crow and the Pitcher, this hands-on activity physically models a linear relationship between the number of marbles in a cylinder and the water’s height.

Math Lab: Investigating Volume/DISTANCE LEARNING/NO PREP
In the following lab, students enjoy a "hands-on" activity to learn the reasoning behind the formulas used in calculating for volume in two solids, the pyramid and the prism.
* Students draw the nets on poster board for a pyramid and a prism, given precise measurements.
* Students carefully cut the nets out and fold according to directions.
* Students use unpopped popcorn, uncooked rice, or dried beans to fill their solids.
* Students compare the volume of a pyramid and a prism with
