A project which brings math to life with material which connects something which they heard about and something which they learned in class. This project places students in the middle of the different stock trading strategies between themselves and a Hedge Fund. As part of the project students are required to graph data, analyze linear equations and draw conclusions based on the resulting data. They also learn about concept of short selling. This is an excellent in-class group assignment or a ve

This project provides students with 5 questions, which allow them to explore concepts of increases and decrease in the percentages if a value as well as how to interpret these increases/decreases. The project is based around real world application in the freight railroad industry, to connect material learned in class with real world applications. Solutions are included.

This project is allows students to explore how mathematical concepts of positive and negative integers as well as corresponding mathematical operations are helpful in engineering/scientific calculations in an imaginary Mars Settlement. This is an excellent way to connect simple math concepts to more advanced STEM concepts and to spur students' imagination beyond the realm of regular math classroom. This version contains word document version of the project as well as answers.

This project allows students to explore application of scientific notations in everyday life, in this case data storage. It helps to illustrate how scientific notations are used to quantify how much storage is required to store different forms of electronic data and how to figure out if we have enough storage to store something. It also touches on basics of business calculations. This version has answers as well.
