Evolving Math Class

A step-by-step project with detailed instructions on how to set up an Excel spreadsheet budget. Students will apply math skills in context of a real-life budgeting situation. Classes to use this project include: math classes, personal finance, financial literacy, and/or career education. Students will create a budget:They will incorporate their future career choice. Students will work independently by following the instructions using an Google Sheets / Excel Spreadsheet.Over the course of at l

Great first day of math class lesson! -Set the framework for the school year with annotations being a tool for reading comprehension during math class. -Students/scholars will use an annotation key to actively read by interpreting, analyzing and making an inference about a math word problem. -The students will use the annotations to reflect on their prior knowledge and eventually they will use the annotations to help solve the problem. What’s Included: *Lesson Plan *Modeling of Guided P

Students will work on this 5-page packet, which focuses on filling a swimming pool with water. This project starts with an overview of finding volume of a rectangular prism: identify dimensions and calculating the volume using the formula. Students next will rewrite the formula (by rearranging the volume formula) to solve for each dimension of the swimming pool. They lastly will calculate how long it will take to fill the swimming pool.*This is an ideal activity for Algebra 1/2 students, but 6t

Have students take a reading diagnostic at the end of class designed for the math school year (incorporates reading questions as they relate to math class and using the annotation key with a math word problem, along with follow up questions.) -Students will use an annotation key to actively read by interpreting, analyzing and making an inference about a math word problem. -The students will use the annotations to reflect on their prior knowledge and eventually they will use the annotations to
