AIMing for Achievement

Students design a hole for a miniature golf course. They must use a Cartesian coordinate grid and coordinate points to calculate the slope of the ball's path as well as the equation of the line. Students will make a model of their hole (shoebox size) and present it to the class. This project includes: - calendar with daily activities - checklist of requirements for students - spreadsheet for calculations - grading rubric For a differentiated version of this project, check the following listing

This is a PBL project in which students create a map of their own school. Students will use ratios and proportions to convert measurements into appropriate measurements for the map and then utilize ruler skills to draw the map. A rubric, calculations sheet, step-by-step directions, measurement spreadsheet, and example sketch (for collecting measurements). Teacher tips and notes include: - Calendar with each day's activities - Common Core standards - Lesson objectives (SWBAT - student will be ab

When doing test prep for the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT) with my students, I found very little materials to assist them. Here I have compiled past released test questions divided by type of question (There are five types they will encounter - number sense, measurement, algebra, geometry, and probability.) Each section has a powerpoint and a matching booklet to allow discussion of the problems as a class and completion of each problem in a booklet for the students to keep. I hope this minimizes

Students are given the task of planning a 7 day-6 night trip with specific parameters to follow.

Students apply the mathematical concepts of fractions, measurements, and calculations to create a specific drawing to demonstrate learning of those concepts. Begin the project by reviewing the basic skills needed to read a ruler as well as how to center objects. A Google Slides file is included for you to use and present to students on centering objects. Templates for the terms and where the students are to label their measurements (for differentiation purposes). Self-reflection included for stu

Track students as they enter the classroom tardy without disrupting your class. You can refer to the log later in order to enter them. The file is editable using Google Docs or Microsoft Word.

Students will apply ruler skills and fraction calculations to create a city street. Product includes: - step-by-step directions which requires students to utilize fractions - calculations answer sheet for students to show their work - answers

Students will measure lines to practice ruler skills and reading a ruler. Google Form included where students can input their answers and it will automatically grade their work for you. As a bonus, there is an additional "Line Length Exercise 2" included (paper version only).

This powerpoint lists common math vocabulary words found on the Ohio Graduation Test (OGT). A big part of being able to answer the questions is knowing what the question is asking (the vocabulary). As test preparation, I had my students use computers to look up each of the words in a list. They were to give a definition and an example or picture of each word. You have the option to have mixed lists of words, 6 sets of 10 words each, or lists that are divided into categories by those categori

The Stock Market Challenge is an extension activity to help students have a better understanding of the stock market and investing. Students will choose two stocks and the amount of money from a specified budget to invest. Students track the two stocks over a given period of time (for a portion of the school year or a historical time period for the same day for the past 10 years). Then, they will graph and evaluate the stocks’ performance. Mathematical concepts utilized in the challenge are mone

Students struggle with reducing fractions and understanding that a mark on the ruler can be the same measurement until reduced. This exercise gives students practice converting between the measurements on a ruler. Product is in Google Forms and is set to automatically grade for you!
