"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

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

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.

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.

SIMPLE INTEREST: What Are My Monthly Payments? End of Year FUN!
Interest = (Principal)(Rate)(Time)
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. The lesson can easily be simplified for younger students or beefed up for high schoolers.
