If you find Trigonometry repetitive and boring, look no further! This trigonometry scavenger hunt will get students outside, moving around, and engaged. Students begin by building their own sextant to measure angles. You will need: -A protractor -A straw -Tape -String -Small weight, such as a washer Once students have built their sextant, they will go outside and measure objects around the school building. In the worksheet they are measuring a tree, windmill, school sign, basketball hoop, goal

This simple art project allows students to be creative while still covering the basics of perimeter and area. It is great for both elementary/middle years and high school.

This project is intended for grade 9 mathematics but can be used for any grade learning about composite shapes. This hands-on project allows students to really explore the concepts of 3D geometry, overlap, composite shapes and surface area. Their imaginations can run wild as they create whatever 3D form they want. Some of my students have created robots, dream houses, golf courses, and much more. This project is broken down into different steps so that students can collect all the necessary inf

This assignment provides students with a real-life example of how integers are used. In this assignment, students record their food/drink intake and their exercise over two days. They then use that data to determine the numbers of calories they've consumed (+ number) and the calories they've burned (- number) and calculate how healthy they are. While the focus of this assignment is on positive and negative numbers, it can also be used to build up to unit price. My students really enjoyed findi

This Place Value Game kept my grade 7's entertained for hours! Because it is completely random, all students felt they could participate without judgment of their knowledge. It can be used in a socially-distanced way or in groups.
