Parallel and Perpendicular Lines Project
When teaching anything, students have a tendency to shine in other ways than that of the traditional pen and paper test. This project was used in place of a traditional pen and paper test. My students created a bird house for their chapter project that covered parallel and perpendicular lines and planes. They had to design their houses from scratch, making sure that the bird they selected could actually live in it. They came up with blue prints, calculated surface area, and even wrote an ess

Slopes of Parallel and Perpendicular Lines: An Inquiry-Based Exploration
This is an inquiry-based learning activity used to teach students of the properties of the slopes of parallel lines and the slopes of perpendicular lines. This activity is best used before going too in-depth with the algebraic properties of parallel and perpendicular lines as it allows students to discover, on their own terms, these properties. The papers are arranged so that you may print the graphing activities on one sheet of paper and the questions on another. Have students put papers side b

All About Graphing lines project
This project is designed for students in an Algebra 1 class. It is a book that the students create to examine a discuss all the aspects of graphing lines. They have to incorporate how to solve for slope, the difference between parallel and perpendicular lines, the 3 different equations of lines, rise over run and much more. This is a great project for students to master how to graph a line and for understanding what a slope is.

City Map Project
In this project, the students will work in groups to create a city map of their own that has at least 10 streets. Of those streets, 4 will be parallel, 4 perpendicular, 1 undefined, and 1 with a zero slope. The students will write equations for the lines giving the slope and y-intercept. They will also create names for their streets and their city. The students tend to enjoy this project because they get to be creative on how their map looks, they get to pick the names, and I have always let

Room 507 - A Graphing Extension
This project is designed to be an extension after finishing a unit on Graphing Lines. Students are required to make decisions about the profitability of different types of cell phones. They use their skills of slope, y-intercept, parallel, and intersections to determine how many of each type of phone they should carry, if they carry the phone at all. They are then required to write a report explaining their decisions and how they arrived at them. A great activity that meets the standards of
