Middle and High School Algebra Parabola Self-Portraits
Middle and High School Algebra Parabola Self-PortraitsGrades 6 - 12 This creative activity is intended to introduce students to quadratic equations. It is not necessary that they know how to graph them, or any of the terminology. Of course, an obvious extension would be to introduce the vocabulary: domain, range, maxima, minima, intervals of increase/decrease, vertex, point, reflection point, theaxis of symmetry, zeros, y-intercept.

Using Graphs to Relate Quantities Project
This is a project in which students are given four graphs with a combination of increasing, decreasing, and constant lines. They choose the variables on the x- and y-axes and then create a story that matches the variables and the graph. It can easily be differentiated by choosing certain graph(s) for each student to work on. You could also choose the variables for your students to relate to each other. It is fun and engaging project. Please feel free to contact me if you would like an editable v

Polynomial Roller Coaster Project
This project can be used in an Algebra 2 or Pre-Calculus (CP or Honors) class. This project uses students creativity along with their knowledge of analyzing polynomial graphs to create a polynomial roller coaster. The Math: Students will create the equation in factored form (this is to ensure that have the correct number of zeros). Students will then rewrite the equation in standard form (for honors I have had them multiply the polynomial by hand & for CP I have had students use an online

Slope Poster (slope, slope-intercept form, point-slope form & graphing)
Slope Poster (slope, converting to slope-intercept form, point-slope form and graphing equations) The students are given two ordered pairs, and must write the slope formula in addition to finding and simplifying the slope. After that they need to put the information into point-slope form, and then convert that to slope intercept by distributing and combining like terms. The final step is to graph the line using any of the equations they want to. There is a rubric attached to score it out of 30

Recycling in Gilbert, AZ
The Town of Gilbert, since 2002, has seen increases in revenue generated from its recycling program. With an increase in population, Gilbert has also seen an increase in the amount of recyclables collected. Furthermore, a recent newspaper article indicated that Gilbert has gone from getting $5 per ton to $42 per ton for recyclables. Recent data showing the amount of revenue generated and the amount of recyclables collected are shown in the table below.

Factoring Card Sort
This 3 page activity is designed to be additional practice with factoring different expressions. There are 17 examples that require factoring, factoring by grouping, and dividing out common terms. This a great activity for formative assessment or review before diving into simplifying rational expressions and solving rational equations. There are extra solutions, so that student cannot start guessing towards the end (a big pet peeve of mine). The last example has three factors.

LINEAR INEQUALITY WORD PROBLEMS STANDARD FORM ALGEBRA POSTER ACTIVITY
In this activity, students will work in groups or alone to create wall displays for a given linear inequality scenario. All word problems translate into standard form and are graphed by finding the intercepts. I generally start out by presenting the two example scenarios on the projector, talking students through each problem. One describes a greater than scenario, the other a less than scenario. The students then draw cards, those with matching cards form a group, and each group makes a wall
