I usually use this project as an end of year activity. I have students work in small groups, and have them draw the waterpark attractions onto large graph paper (I also print out some waterpark related clip art to help with their drawings). You could also use this project as an individual assessment, and use standard sized graph paper. The project itself will ask students to name coordinate points, write equations from a graph in slope-intercept form, use slope formula to find the slope of a li

Activities include explorations into credit car payments, car loan payments, paychecks/deductions, as well as monthly budgets and expenses. Activities are no-prep, and are designed more to generate an understanding of personal finances that adults deal with, rather than intense mathematical calculations. I find that students generally enjoy these activities (or at least don't complain as much) because they can see the benefit of 'when will I use this'. I typically use these activities at the e

Explore credit cards using this guided worksheet and the credit card calculator website. This lesson allows students to see how factors such as credit score, monthly payments, and overall balance can effect the time it takes to pay off credit balances, as well as the amount of interest you will have to repay.

Each Google Form question set has 5 questions (total of 15 questions). Questions were pulled from MCAS Released Items. Google Slides show a preview of selected questions for each set.

I created this activity during Remote learning as a way to allow students to work together without having to create breakout rooms. Each student chooses a color, and answers the the questions on each slide in their color. Students can chat with each other and leave notes using text boxes on each slide. As students work, the teacher can also leave comments, and add a thumbs up icon to work that is done correctly. This product can still be used in an in-person classroom for teachers who want to do

Two different Boggle-style puzzles on one sheet. See how many words you can make! You can connect letters up, down, left, right, and diagonally, but you can not use the same letter twice in the same word! Christmas and winter words are hidden within the puzzles, but there are many other words that can be created. I use this for my early finishers on assessment days. Great for building vocabulary, or just passing time in the classroom.
