It pinpoints the missing skills. This worksheet helps students see that it does not matter how much money you have if you use it wisely. I have used this movie guide for substitute plans since it generalizes financial principals. I always use this in my financial math classes. Students like the documentary an

Students plot the given points to make 3 different parallelograms in the coordinate plane. They must show the given theorem to be true that shows the quadrilateral is a parallelogram.

A set of 3 labs from Function Junction. Each lab contains a table, a grid to plot data and follow-up questions to walk students through the linear regression analysis. Questions include equations of the line of best fit, correlation coefficient, residual plots and extrapolating data.

This lab uses angle-angle similarity to indirectly measure objects. By Function Junction.

In this math lab students fold and tear paper to model exponential growth and decay. There is one activity for growth and one for decay. After recording their observations, students are asked to write exponential equations and use them to extrapolate information.
