Looking for a fun way to manipulate equations and graph?? LOOK HERE!!! Given equations in standard form, and other variations, convert equations into slope intercept form, and graph the equation to eliminate MONSTERS! Precision matters! Only one monster remains, find that monster!! My classes LOVE this activity!! Answer key included.

Students will: 1- Write a system of equations 2- Graph the system (graphs provided, label axis, give it a title) 3- Find the solution 4- Interpret the solution 5- Answer questions, appl

Are your students needing to graph linear equations, or struggling with this skill? Look no further--- Use this guided worksheet to help make a linear model (equation in slope intercept form) from a story problem. Included is identifying the y-intercept, identifying the slope, writing an equation, graphing the linear equation (including labels and axis titles!!), and then using the graph to answer a question. Includes 6 problems and an answer key.

Looking for a fun way to writing equations in slope intercept form, then answer questions using your equation??? LOOK HERE!!! Given a story problem, write equations in slope intercept form, then answer various questions about the story, including plugging in for both x and y variables. Includes 16 story scenarios. These questions have fun contexts for youngsters!! I did this as a partner's activity, and my classes thought these were fun to practice!! Answer key included.

This is a classroom's worth of posters! Included are DIY printable posters for your 7-8th grade classroom. I designed these posters to be printed on 11x17 paper, and then laminated to hang on the wall. You will print them yourself, piece together, laminate (optional), and then wah-lah! Included are posters with essentials of the following topics: - Order of operations (2 versions) - Slope Intercept Form - Slope - Area & Circumference of Circles - Lines- Standard & slope intercept form

A great multi-day practice of modeling linear equations using the form y=mx+b. A common struggle of my students is to explain the meaning of what an equation is telling, and so I developed this activity to practice: - Write a linear equation from a storyline - In words, what do the slope, y-intercept, x variable, and y variable mean, IN CONTEXT. - Being able to plug in a value for either x OR y to solve a problem in the context of the problem. - Graphing equations This activity includes 8 f

Kids LOVE hands on!!!! In this activity students will explore finding experimental probabilities using coins, dice, and cards. They will discover that the more trials that are completed, the closer the experimental probability comes to the theoretical probability. I do this in my 7th grade class, but it would easily be suitable for any probability unit even into high school.

Students LOVE this activity! Using systems equation (with some knowledge of domain of an equation), students map and plot out a portion of New York City on an actual map, created to scale, accurately! They draw roads, find locations of landmarks, including Central Park, the Statue of Liberty, and other familiar locations, and they do it all with math!! This activity takes 2-3 class periods. I encourage students to color their maps and we hang them in the hallway when done! The maps need to b

In this fun activity students begin by looking at a bar graph that shows the circumference of 22 different sports balls. They read the graph to compile their data and then use it to make a line plot (dot plot), MMMR, quartiles, box and whisker plot, stem & leaf plot, frequency table, histogram, pie chart, scatter plot, and to create and find the equation for a line of best fit. This is a GREAT activity to culminate your year! Fun, interactive, engaging, and my students always love getting t

Find the routes along the map by using the Pythagorean Theorem to solve the puzzle, and answer the questions about distances. Creative thinking required!!

This is a GREAT activity to do as a review of Circumference & Area of circles, or to do on Pi Day where it's nice to do something fun with food! In this activity students choose a circle and trace it (I pull out all kinds of circles, so everyone has their own: tape rolls, jars, lids... anything circular, as long as the circle fits in the space!!) Students then estimate pi, measure circumference and diameter using skittles, m & m's, or other circular candy as their measuring unit in addition

Needing some good practice with multi step word problems, that AREN'T THE TYPICAL BORING PROBLEMS? Cupcakes. Movies. Cell Phones. Steaming services. Action Figures & more. This is the resource for you. Ready to print-and-go. These questions require some high level thinking to create equations in contexts that are engaging for students. Included are 10 problems that I've used in both the 7th and 8th grade math classes.

In this activity students will construct each of the different quadrilaterals with protractors given their attributes. Each problem includes a "planning" step in which students need to decide (or solve for) what each angle should be, as well as side lengths. I find that students do not have a good grasp on using a protractor and this activity has really strengthened that skill in my class!

Need an activity to practice exponential growth and decay functions, look no further. This activity includes 3 mini activities including: - Radioactivity of the Chernobyl nuclear plant - Newton's law of cooling in conjunction with a crime scene problem - March madness NCAA basketball tournament

This activity includes 17 different scenarios (for 17 individuals, or 17 groups) where students are required to select a target point, use vertex form to find an equation for their projectile. They check for accuracy, by comparing their graph's x intercepts to their equation's solutions (via the quadratic formula). If their solutions don't match (within 2), they need to rework the equation. The finished product is displayed on a poster.

This real world application of surface area covers many practical applications of finding surface area measures including finding the areas and then associated costs of buying shingles, siding, flooring, doors/windows, paint, and then an extension to volume by buying the proper furnace for your space. Enjoy as kids apply mathematical skills to a real world project!

A bag of M & M's for every kiddo is all it takes to make a fun and learning filled class period!! Students will use their M & M bag as hard data to study probability, expected value, normal distribution and more. This activity includes: Tabulating the colors in their bagUsing claimed percentages to find how many they "should" have gotten for each color. Collect whole class dataCalculate expected valuesCreate a histogram Answer some probability questions regarding theoretical and experimenta

Are you wanting an activity that is both hands on and educational!??? I created this ice cream activity (because which students aren't going to love ice cream??) as a wrap up of the volume of cylinders, cones, and spheres. The first goal is to find volume of a scoop of ice cream, the cone, and then to determine how much empty space would be in the bottom of the cone. After converting it to teaspoons, students physically use their cone and add the appropriate number teaspoons of goodies, and

My students have always struggled constructing triangles and quadrilaterals..... So I created this activity as an introduction-- using a protractor to measure and construct angles. But not only that... that's too simple. Use this activity after they've learned some vocabulary about angles including complementary, supplementary, and vertical angles and can write an equation knowing these relationships to both solve for an unknown, and plug in the value to find the degree measure.
