Line of Best Fit and Scatterplots
Who doesn't love a good mystery?!!!! In this engaging students use a real life scenario to apply scatterplot data of shoe size and height and the line of best fit to capture the correct suspect. This product has lots of great reviews! Many middle school math teachers state this was a great way to review the concept of line of best fit and scatterplots. Aligned to CCSSM8.SP.A.2 and CCSSM8.SP.A.3This activity is also available in a bundle at a discounted rate:Scatterplots and Line of Best

Line of Best Fit and Scatterplots: The Bundle
This bundle includes 2 engaging activities where students can apply the skills of plotting points in a scatterplot, making a line of best fit, and finding the slope of the line to find missing data. Fun scenarios of Sasquatch and a crime scene hook kids into learning. Please leave feedback, you can earn TpT credits for future purchases. If you enjoy these activities consider following my store as I work to increase my middle school math inventory. Check out my other middle school math produc

Scatterplots and Line of Best Fit
This engaging activity allows students to apply their knowledge of slope, scatterplot data, and line of best fit to figure out how tall Sasquatch is. Taking the role of engineers, students use a foot print of sasquatch to approximate his height which is needed to construct a trap. An engaging newspaper article sets the scene of the recent Sasquatch sightings at the local park.

What would Barbie Look like if she were Real?
Ever wondered what Barbie would look like if she were real? Now you can work with your students to find out!
Part 3
In order to save you and your students time, I measured various segments of Barbie's actual doll measurements. Students can use their measurements from Parts 1 and 2 of the Human Body Proportion Lab (available on TCP) OR measure their height or foot size to determine the SCALE FACTOR between their body and the doll's body. Using the SF, students will determine Barbie's measure

T. Swift & Metrics- A Problem-Based Learning (PBL) Activity
I came up with this activity to teach the metric system to my gifted students. The problem centers around Taylor Swift going on tour and requiring some information from my students. You could definitely change the artist to someone more popular with your group of kids.
I posed the problem to them by having them read the situation titled "A Diva's Crisis." Then, they were assigned to groups and brainstormed a list of questions to put in the "W" section of a KWL chart (a teacher answer key is

Micro:bit remote temperature sensor data collection with progress bar
This lesson gets temperature sensor data from the built-in sensor. The lesson uses two Micro:bits. One collects temperature data and the other receives the data. The data is collected and saved to a comma-separated value file.The code uses the Micro:bit’s radio to transmit the data. Use this to discuss how radio technology works. Radio technology uses frequencies. Frequencies are measured in amplitude and modulation. Discuss how amplitude and modulation are used to send information like music an

Accident Investigation Lab for Trig Students
A lab exercise in which students complete a simulation of investigating a vehicle accident by measuring the length of skid marks and calculating the speed of the braking vehicle. Students will measure the length using the number of revolutions and diameter of a rolling rotary device (such as sewing tracing wheel or pizza cutter.) This lab is designed for groups of 2 - 4 students and contains 5 different scenarios of the accident so different groups can analyze different situations. These mat

Social Issue Project: Dangerous Dolls?
During this project, students will measure themselves, measure action figures/dolls, and scale up the doll proportionally to life size, based on their height. Then, they will trace themselves on a large piece of butcher block paper. On that same paper, they will sketch out the life-sized doll proportions and create a body outline of what the doll would look like if it were their same height. They should finish with something that looks terribly disproportionate. From there, you can have a debate

This resource provides a guide for students to discover the ratio between circumference and diameter. The students will measure the circumference and diameter of various circles with a piece of string, then create a ratio and convert to decimal. I ask the students to bring in a circle from home previous to this lesson so that there are a variety of sizes for the students to practice on.
I use it as an exploratory lesson before I introduce pi so that the students can disco
