Exponential Functions Project
This project includes 6 different real-life exponential situations that are either percent increase/decrease or compound interest. Students can work in groups, or your could assign multiple students the same project. Students are asked to do the following: 1) Write an un-simplified equation to model the situation. (We still want to see (1+r) or all the parts of the compound interest equation) 2) Explain in detail each part of the equation. 3) Write an equation in simplest form to model the

First And Second Derivative Tests - Create Your Own Matching Activity (Word)
In this activity students will be creating four different functions in which they will find their derivatives, determine all critical points, extrema, intervals of increase and decrease and intervals of concavity. Students will also be asked to find a graph of the original function. The activity can be downloaded as a Word document or a Google Slide (see alternate listing) and can easily be used as an online activity, or, can be printed, collected and used as a classroom matching game using all

Polynomial Function Project - Roller Coaster
In this project, students learn how to use polynomial function to model roller coaster rides. In this first part, they are given some polynomial functions to find the relative maximum/minimum, increasing/decreasing intervals, x- and y-intercepts, etc. They will explore the average rate of change. In the second part of the project, students are asked design their own roller coaster given some basic criteria. Students should use graphing devices/computer applications to complete this project.

Neighborhood Tours and Piecewise Functions
In this project students will take us on a tour of their neighborhoods. They'll make at least three stops, take pictures, and explain why they chose those locations. After that, they will create a graph of their journey that compares time in minutes to how many blocks they are from home. They will have to use average rate of change over sub-domains to come up with their piecewise graph. After all of that, they will analyze their journey and explain what the domain, range, intervals of increase

My Dream Vehicle Gr 6-9 Math Project: Percents, Interest, Decimals
This project was designed with a certain group in mind - disengaged boys.
In this 20 page math project, students choose a vehicle from a newspaper or the local buy/sell/trade paper.
They'll choose what upgrades they'd like to make (new tires, paint job etc.) and then calculate the cost of the vehicle, with taxes, the upgrades- with taxes to figure out how much money they need from the bank.
Students also need to calculate the interest on their bank loan and their monthly payment.
