Experimental Probability Activity (dice lab)
In this activity students work with a partner to roll a pair of dice (many times) and record the sum of the dice in a data collection sheet. Once the data has been collected the students are walked through the process of calculating the experimental probability for each sum and then the theoretical probability for each sum and are asked questions about the differences they find between the values. Students also make a bar graph using the percentages for theoretical probability and can visually s

Algebra Lab: Quadratics - Using the Vertex Formula with Water Rockets!
Are you the type of teacher who will go that extra mile to get your students involved. Then have I got a lab for you! Build and launch water rockets to help your students connect with quadratics and the vertex formula.
With just a few simple and inexpensive PVC parts from the local home improvement store, and a bicycle pump, you can build yourself a simple and fun water bottle rocket launcher. And the rockets are simple 2-liter soda bottles, but boy do they fly!

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

Geometry - Graphing Special Lines-Parallel and Perpendicular-Two Investigations
This activity contains two investigations. First Investigation:• On the graph provided, students graph each of the pairs of points and draw a line through the pair of points.• The students study the two lines and conjecture that the two lines are parallel.• Then the students find the slope of the two given lines to notice that when the lines were parallel the slope of the two lines are equal.• Students repeat these three steps with four more points. • After students know that two parallel lines

Scatterplots Linear Regression Line of Best Fit Forearms & 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.

Matching Activity - Solving Quadratics
Three things come to mind as to why I wrote this activity...
First, students are petrified of word problems. I wrote this activity to give students experience with solving applications of the quadratic. Second, I want students to demonstrate their ability to use four different methods to solve quadratics. Third, I want students to be cognizant that they will need to decide which method is best given the structure of the quadratic equation.

Zip Lining Slope Between to Points Lab Activity
Goal: understand slope conceptually and calculate slope through any two points.
How do you plan to make the ratio of rise to run hands on and visual for students? How about by asking them to create zip lines? In this activity students will work in teams to create fast and slow zip lines using fishing line, paper clips, and any toy you can hang from the clip. Students will experiment with the ratio of rise to run as they must use the entire piece of wire for every zip line run meaning the onl
