Are your students bored to tears with state assessments, math drills and dull text books? Are you bored to tears teaching the same proportion lesson over and over again just to hear them say "When are we ever going to use this?!" I created this lesson/worksheet to integrate a real life skill. I love to travel and thought this would be a great way to relate it to math. While this assignment meets typical state and local standards for "applying ratios and proportions to real life problems" it

Tired of spending a lot of time on study guides only to find that your students aren't giving them a second look? This creative study guide covers the entire chapter on triangle congruence for a high school geometry class with tips for formal proofs. Specifically these notes cover: Triangle Classification by angle measure and side length Triangle Sum Theorem, Exterior Angle Theorem Definition of Congruent Triangles SSS, SAS ASA, AAS, HL I included some fun "celebrity guests" on these notes t

Are your students struggling with the concept of solving for a given variable? I have created this worksheet in an effort to keep their interest and also give them built-in help. Each problem contains a current celebrity name (like Taylor Swift or Justin Bieber) that is scrambled up in the form of multi-step equation. The students inevitably can figure out the name before solving the problem so it serves as a clue as to which variable should be moved first. I have created many of these workshee
