Piecewise functions and art combine for the ultimate STEAM activity. Students are given step-by-step directions so they are self-led and can proceed at their own pace. Use as a homework assignment, review day, part of a quiz or test. Your students will LOVE the opportunity to digitally create a piece of art while showing their mastery of writing piecewise functions. You will be amazed with the creativity you will see. Students are lead through step-by-step on how to... 1) Create a desmos accou

Let's create and build a house! One of my favorite things about teaching is showing my students how what we cover in class is used the real world-other than word problems. Scales and ratios naturally lend themselves to architecture and this project gives your students a great avenue to apply math while being creative. Can you say STEAM?!?! Suggestions: Restrict building to one-story houses (for the sanity of all) Build in check-points to avoid the night before crazy. This also allows you as t

Students will also show ability to write an equation of a parabola in vertex form from the graph of a parabola. CUSTOMIZE!!! The activity includes equations and graphs and blank worksheets that you can print and write your own equations and graphs for specialized practice. Suggestions: *Divide students into small groups (2 or 3) and give each group a large piece of paper and 1 par

Your students will love graphing the solutions to this set of linear systems to create a spooky haunted house. Students will solve 20 linear systems using elimination or substitution and then graph the solutions on the graph provided. The solutions will be connected using straight lines to create the outline of a haunted house. Suggestions: •Fabulous activity when you are out and need a “sub” plan •Have students outline the haunted house in marker and then decorate—have a class vote on the sp
