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

"The Great Food Truck Project" - Rate, Proportions, and Percents Unit Assessment
A rates and proportions unit project, centering around the real-world use of percentages and rates. Students work with a small group to create their own concept for a food truck, including what food and drink options they would sell. Using inspiration for "The Great Food Truck Race" and "Sharktank" TV shows, students work to create a best-selling idea, that also showcases their own values as a "company". I hope to share more information and examples of how I use this project with my upcoming y

Percents and Shopping Real Life Algebra Project
Objective:
Almost every time students or adults go shopping, they will find items that are on sale. These items have been marked down a certain percent. Almost everyone has to pay sales tax when you purchase items. This project will help students to see some applications of percent's in everyday life.
• To find the original price of an item given sales price and percent discount.

Exponential Functions and Grain of Rice Project
This is a differentiated activity incorporating exponential functions and "The Grain of Rice Story." As a class, the story is read in play form. Students are assigned parts to read. Then students are broken into groups designated by readiness. Each group is assigned a task based on the story. All tasks require the groups to make a table, graph, and write an equation based on a situation related to the story read. Tasks increase in difficulty from 1 through 4. Groups must make a poster displaying

Authentic Task - Creating and Using Equations - Improving Horsepower
In this authentic task, students take on the role of a racing team member trying to increase the horsepower of their racecar. For this task, students will determine the missing amount of horsepower from the engine, find the amount of horsepower provided by each replacement part, and find a combination of parts that can be replaced to recover the missing horsepower. This project relates math to the real world in a way that is designed to drive student interest. The equation used is certainly simp

Ratios and Proportions 20 - Consumer Math Project - Business Manager
• Solve consumer math applications while playing the role of “business manager.”
• Difficulty solving percent problems is due to the inability to recognize what the question is asking.
• Consumer math problems do not always ask to find the percent of a number. Focus is on identifying whether the question is asking to find a percent, a part or a whole.

Percent Real World Application - Wedding Planning
In this project, students helped me to determine how much money I would need to spend on my wedding centerpieces. The students had to apply discounts to individual items, and figure out how many of each item was needed (if they were sold in packages). The students then had to figure out how much money I would need for each part of the centerpiece, then add it up together in the end. This project was developed for a Pre-Algebra class, so the project is guided by small steps and questions to br

Starting A Small Business Project
This project is designed for 7th-8th graders who have learned how to find unit rate, percents, proportions, and solve/write equations.
I used this activity in a 7th grade honors math class at the end of the year. The students loved this activity! Students felt so proud when making their items and designing their business. When each student brought in their items to sell, it was very neat to see a different side of each student.
Students can be creative as to what they want to sell.

This is a simple formula for simple interest! The common core standards puts this skill in 7th grade (7.RP.A.3), but students that have a handle on basic percent and substituting for variables can do this and have FUN! I use it in 8th grade for a great end of year project that the kids love to do, it fills at least three days, and makes a great bulletin board.
