Bringing Math Forward

The PowerPoint presentation defines and illustrates tessellations. There are multiple examples which include different transformations: translation, rotation, reflection. _______________________________________________________________________________________________ The student project allows students to express their creativity by creating their own tessellations. They are allowed to use different transformations in order to create their tessellation. A grading rubric is included as well as a l

This STEM project uses operations with rational numbers in a real-life situation. While not necessary, the project is designed to be cross-curricular with math, social studies, and ELA. Students study the biomes of a certain continent or region and create a poster which analyzes the rainfall throughout the year. Students then design, re-design, and create a rain gauge to collect and measure rainfall locally; the rain gauge is built from recycled materials.

This bundle contains six products: 3 PowerPoints and 3 student worksheets. The products cover graphing the quadratic functions: y = ax^2, y = ax^2 + c, and y = ax^2 + bx + c. The PowerPoints contain examples for students to follow along with or complete as well as step by step instructions for graphing. The student worksheets allow students to demonstrate mastery of these concepts, and answer keys are included.

There are three items in this bundle: an introductory PowerPoint with vocabulary and examples on both the theorem and the converse, a student worksheet with problems on the theorem and its converse, a STEM project in which students create a stained glass window.

In this bundle, three items are included. The first is an introductory PowerPoint which explains the Pythagorean Theorem and which has student examples. Secondly, there is a student worksheet where students can apply what they have learned; there is a link to a Google doc with the student portion of the worksheet. Finally, there is a STEM project in which students must design and build a home for a gnome.

This bundle includes a PowerPoint presentation which has step by step instructions for finding interquartile range both with and without a graphing calculator. Additionally, the bundle includes a hand-out for students with step by step directions for finding the interquartile range, both with and without a graphing calculator. Finally, there is an activity sheet with problems for students to determine interequartile ranges and interpret box and whisker plots.

This bundle includes an introductory PowerPoint and a student worksheet on the Pythagorean Theorem as well as an introductory PowerPoint and student worksheet with an added activity on the distance formula. Answer keys are provided for both workhsheets as well as the distance formula activity. Also included is the STEM project, Pythagoras' Stained Glass Windows.

Finding standard deviation and interquartile range can be challenging for students. The presentations and the notes in this bundle break down the processes with step by step instructions. The bundle combines two powerpoints to explain how to find both standard deviation and IQR and two documents with students notes on finding both with and without a graphing calculator as well as student problems on both processes.

This bundle combines a powerpoint presentation and a student activity. Both products look at scatter plots, trend lines, equations of lines of best fit, correlation coefficients, residuals, and predictions. In the powerpoint, there is an example which can be reviewed by the teacher followed by an examples students can work on. Embedded in the presentation are instructions for using the STAT function on a graphing calculator to determine the equation of line of best fit and the correlation coeffi

In this PowerPoint, students are given an introduction to graphing the quadratic function, y = ax^2 + c. Examples are given to help students determine patterns in graphing these functions, both for the location of the vertex and the width of the parabola. Student examples are given for you to review with students or for students to do on their own. A summary of the characteristics of these graphs is also provided.

This bundle contains two PowerPoints and two student worksheets on graphing quadratic functions of the types y = ax^2 and y = ax^2 + c. The PowerPoint presentations have student examples, summaries, and examples to discover the patterns in graphing. The worksheets have problems similar to ones in the PowerPoint presentations.

This bundle includes two resources. The first is a PowerPoint on probability which covers vocabulary and simple and compound probability. The second is a packet of three worksheets which cover the same topics; the worksheets all contain unique problems and answer keys are included.

In this bundle are included a PowerPoint which explains how to determine standard deviation without and with a graphing calculator. Students are led through examples with step by step directions for both cases. Additionally, the bundle includes student notes on finding standard deviation (with and without a graphing calculator) and a student exercise which mirrors the examples found in the PowerPoint.

This bundle has a PowerPoint presentation and a student activity, both on the distance formula. The PowerPoint presentation inclues the derivation of the distance formula from the Pythagorean Theorem, student examples, and an exit ticket to check for student understanding. The worksheet contains distance formula problems with integers, fractions, and decimals as well as an added color by number activity. The activity can be done on hard copies or virtually.

This bundle includes both a PowerPoint presentation and a student working on graphing quadratic functions of the form y = ax^2 + c. Included is information about describing graphs, graphing, and comparing graphs.

This bundle includes the PowerPoint Presentation, Graphing y = ax^2. This presentation includes vocabulary, step-by-step instructions, and student examples. Additionally, the bundle includes Graphing Simple Quadratic Functions Student Worksheet. The worksheet includes similar problems as presented in the PowerPoint.

This bundle includes two products. The first is a PowerPoint presentation which gives examples for students to practice or to follow along with as well as step by step directions for graphing these functions. The second is a worksheet which allows students to demonstrate mastery of graphing y = ax^2 + bx + c. The worksheet includes an answer key.

In this project, students will calculate with both fractions and decimals. Students choose recipes, adapt the amount of ingredients for their class or other large group, and calculate the cost per student or group member. The project can easily be made cross-curricular by requiring students to choose recipes from a region they are studying in SS or from the setting in an ELA story or novel. I have posted the project in Word so that you can easily edit it to require 1, 2, or 3 recipes. The proje

Two resources are included in this bundle. First is a PowerPoint presentation which explains how to write equations in slope-intercept form from tables, graphs, and word problems. Students are show in a clear, methodical way how to write the equations. Second is a worksheet in which students can illustrate their understanding of these concepts. An answer key is included for the worksheet.

In this presentation, there are two examples on finding interquartile range with step by step instructions for students. Additionally, there is an examination of box and whisker plots as well as instructions for using a graphing calculator to find interquartile range.
