Looking for a new assignment for one of your math classes? I have created this assignment in an attempt to have students become more passionate about math and to see a connection to the real world. In short, this assignment requires students to create a 1-page fact-sheet or Power Point presentation on a particular math career. (51 Printable careers are included) Each student in the class completes their own report and then reports back to the class on their findings. When I am done with all o

It takes a while for their brains to go through the same steps that mine do as a teacher. I created this study guide to help "wire" their brains for solving systems of equations. The worksheet starts out simple and just gets them to look at the problem and develop a game plan. By the end they are choosing their own method of elimination. Many teachers show multipl

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.
