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.

Using Percents and Proportions to Teach Electoral College
The question that will loom over the course of students' lifetimes: What should we do with the Electoral College? To construct a position on this question, students must objectively digest and analyze data to reveal proportionality. In this inquiry-based project, which can be done in class or self paced, students will practice converting fractions into decimals into percents. They will then compare and contrast percentages to determine if proportionality is maintained when scaling the general p

Using Percents and Proportions to Teach Electoral College (ANSWERS)
These are the answers to the project posted here. There's an embedded excel file with a sortable table with all the percentages. I typed in lots of tips for extending the project and enriching discussion e.g. per capita calculations, the origins of the electoral college, an article link, etc. Project description:The question that will loom over the course of students' lifetimes: What should we do with the Electoral College?

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

7th Grade Common Core Scale Drawing Assignment
I use this assignment as a quiz in my class. The assignment can be easily lengthened into a project. The assignment allows students to be as creative as they would like, but still forces them to use scale drawing principals. The assignment has no "right" answer but as a teacher you can easily see "correct" answers and gain lots of feedback about your students. I hope your class enjoys it as much as mine did.

Career Monthly Bils Circle Graph Project
In this project students draw a career and select 10 of their monthly bills. They then figure what percent of their monthly salary goes to each item and create a circle graph showing where their money goes. The file you will receive includes a rubric for the project, an accountability sheet, 24 "career cards", a list of choices for the 7 required and 3 choice items in the project, and teachers notes about how the project has been made successful in their class. It is a word document so any of th

PROJECT - Measuring the Perimeter of Your Bedroom
In this project, the student should take a tape measure, ruler, or yardstick and measure the lengths of the walls of their bedroom. They add the measurements and compute the perimeter. Then they ask an adult or older sibling to do the same. Finally, they calculate the percent error based on the parent's / older sibling's measurements. This is a great "distance learning" project.

Newspaper Ad Project, Area, Percents, Proportions
Hands on activity to reinforce measurement skills and area calculations. Students calculate area of news articles and advertisement using a page from the newspaper and determine the percent area that is advertisement versus news articles. Students only need a ruler and a page from the newspaper to complete the activity. A blank table is provided for students to tabulate their results.
This activity is perfect for independent or group work, and could also be used for a sub plan.

PROJECT - Percentages
Hi there. This is great project where students take a survey of 25 teachers in their school to see how many iPhones / smartphones there are in their homes. Students tally the results and express their results in fraction, decimal, and percent form. This year we took a "field trip" around the school during class to collect all of the data. The students loved it!

Dream Vacation Math and Finance Project - Can Be Used For Distance Learning!
This project provides the opportunity for students to apply the Common Core practice of mathematical modeling to plan their own dream vacations, including choosing transportation, accommodations, food, and activities. It helps them learn to develop a budget, research various trip alternatives, and present the information to their classmates. It's amazing how quickly students realize that a limo to the airport, first class airplane ticket, 4-star hotel, and upscale restaurants may not quite be as
