Use math to calculate speed and altitude while building and flying rubber band rocket planes. It's a fun way to learn how math can help solve real-world problems. Students love it! This project will enable students to Experiment with aerodynamic design. Calculate speed (rate) using the formula R = D/T. Calculate altitude using basic trigonometry. Included are detailed plans and instructions for building the rocket planes and for calculating speed and altitude. Materials needed: printer paper

7 Word Search Puzzles using math terms, and each puzzle contains a secret message! Students solve the word search puzzles and the letters that are not used will spell out a hidden message. The puzzles contain math words that are used with arithmetic, fractions, decimals, percents, geometry, and number theory. These are words that students should know – words such as: add, subtract, multiply, divide, fraction, decimal, simplify, percent, numerator, denominator, hundredth, line, point, plane, tria

This is a fun way to introduce the concepts of fractions & percent while engaging the students in a Star Wars type game where they can knock out the monsters representing fears of making math mistakes. This game should help them overcome math phobia and introduce them to how fractions and percents are calculated. First, each student makes a rubber band ray zapper. Follow the simple directions for gluing, cutting, folding, and taping. Page 3 has the step-by-step instructions. Page 4 has the cut-o
