With this project, students are able to explore one very practical, real-life application of using area, surface area, and volume calculations. In this four phased project, students will start by researching and designing their own raised garden beds. The four different phases of the project ask students to explore types and cost of wood for building the garden beds, material pricing and volumes for both a sub-irrigation s

This bingo review game covers the main matrix concepts that would be in an Algebra 2 or Precalculus matrices unit.
