Above Average Math

This is a mini-project or PBL activity where after learning how to find the equation of a line and how to calculate slope, students will create a graph of their name using only straight lines and determine the equation of each line. You determine how many slanted lines need to be included. There is a grading rubric provided as well as a sample. For me, students who created a more elaborate graph (using their name vs. initials, using block or bubble letters to write their name, ...) receive t

I created this when I was teaching my students integers. My next order of business :) is exponents and order of operations. To incorporate both exponents and circle back to what we just learned, I created this tic-tac-toe board that uses exponents and integers. It nicely brings both concepts together. Just like tic-tac-toe, two players are against each other. The objective is to get five X's or O's in a row, column, or diagonal. Both players need to perform the multiplication to check their
