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

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.

Fraction Flowers (Percent, Decimal, and Fraction Conversions)
This math activity integrates both math and art. Students create a "fraction flower," with a fraction (in simplest form) as the flower's center. On the surrounding petals, students find three different equivalent fractions and both the percent and decimal conversion of the center fraction. Although it is an easy art project, it covers multiple state standards. It looks great on the wall for Back to School Nights or Open Houses!
