A "poster" to remind students how to determine if a graph, equation, etc. is a function--vertical line test, definition, etc.

Are your students struggling to remember the rules for basic integer operations?

The paths are color-coded and shapes are used strategically to indicate decision points, process steps, and end points. I give copies in sheet protectors or laminated copies to students so that they can trace their steps using dry erase markers as they work through problems. I ha

Students will design a street map for a fictional city. A scale model of the city will then be constructed using nets, with real-world surface area and volume of select buildings calculated.

Also, making net patterns out of 1mm graph paper, cutting them out, and copying onto card stock.

This is an original Algebra Fable designed for students struggling to solve two-step Algebra equations. It uses a story as a metaphor for solving problems, combining literacy skills and algebraic thinking.
