Math Career Assignment with Directions, Website Links and a Grading Rubric
Looking for a new assignment for one of your math classes? I have created this assignment in an attempt to have students become more passionate about math and to see a connection to the real world. In short, this assignment requires students to create a 1-page fact-sheet or Power Point presentation on a particular math career. (51 Printable careers are included) Each student in the class completes their own report and then reports back to the class on their findings. When I am done with all o
Astronomy Lesson: Kepler's Laws of Planetary Motion with MATH
This 2 page worksheet with complete teacher's answer key makes it easy to integrate math into your astronomy lesson. Students put Kepler's Laws into their own words and apply simple formulas to given values for the 8 planets to test his 3rd law of planetary motion. Then, they are asked to analyze how accurate his 3rd law is mathematically. The second page includes research on 3 dwarf planets and asks students to test Kepler's 3rd law using the data they find online for these celestial bodies.

8th Grade Science and Math Career Project
This lesson is designed for 8th grade students to do a career project. It combines science and math. It requires students to make a 3-5 minute presentation to the class. There are a lot of details in this document regarding a grading rubric. My students did a high quality job on this assignment and I think it was particularly due to the quality of the details in the descriptions. Although I wrote this assignment for 8th graders it is appropriate for students in grades 6-12.
