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

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

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!

Flip Book Transformation Project
Students create a flip book using Power Point to discover and/or apply properties of geometric transformations. The student handout provides detailed instructions on how to create the flip book which includes using the “duplicate slide” feature in Power Point. Students are required* to create a minimum of 10 slides with 4 different movements. Students are given the opportunity to choose what type of movements they use within given parameters. This choice provides the opportunity for great di

Investigating the Spread of a Viral Outbreak
Students in grades 5 - 9 model the spread of an infectious disease under the entertaining theme of a zombie outbreak. One student unknowingly is patient zero and students simulate the spread of an airborne illness. This highly engaging activity covers health topics, nature of science, and math skills as students graph data in a line plot. Higher level students can be challenged to find the function of the exponential growth of the outbreak.

Inverse Function Investigation with Desmos.com
In this online investigation, students use Desmos.com as a substitute for the traditional graphing calculator to investigate properties of inverse functions. This is a great introductory activity into inverse functions as it gives students a visual understanding of what a function and its inverse can look like. In the activity, students are instructed to create a table of values for a function, create the table of values for the inverse function, and graph the line y=x. In so doing, students

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.

Introducing Binary Code using the Montessori Power of Two Cube
The Power of Two Cube, like the Binomial Cube, is a great physical material to use with children ages 3-6 as a tool to practice ordering and identifying patterns. When working with students in the 9-12 environment, the material can be brought back out and used as a concrete model for exponentiation. The cube represents the mathematical expression 2n (for this particular cube, n is an integer from 1 to 6). When presenting this work, if you do not have a physical set of the materials, the cards in

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

Montessori Binomial and Trinomial Printable Cubes and 3-Part Task Cards BUNDLE
The binomial and trinomial cubes are two of the most well-known Montessori materials. They provide a sensorial and abstract purpose depending on when it is used. As with all Montessori sensorial materials, the cube has both a direct and an indirect purpose. The direct purpose of the binomial and trinomial cubes is to practice the steps to properly disassemble and build the cube, while refining dexterity and visual cues. Indirectly, they prepare the child for through concrete and visual exposure
