A combination of two thoroughly, easy-to-follow, laid out lessons explaining how to teach recursive sequences in a fun and meaningful way to students. The first part of the lesson will give you a framework how to clearly explain the notation to your students. The follow up portion incorporates the concept of defining a sequence recursively to the Fibonacci sequence as it applies to the world around us. The lesson involves a hands on activity component where the students paint a pinecone to clear

This is a differentiated activity incorporating exponential functions and "The Grain of Rice Story." As a class, the story is read in play form. Students are assigned parts to read. Then students are broken into groups designated by readiness. Each group is assigned a task based on the story. All tasks require the groups to make a table, graph, and write an equation based on a situation related to the story read. Tasks increase in difficulty from 1 through 4. Groups must make a poster displaying

This is a game for students of all ages (grades 3-10). Students will each have an individual dry erase board or a blank piece of paper. The power point slide projects an angle. Students must use reasoning skills to guess the angle measure. Either the teacher or a selected student (I have name the "Vanna") then uses a large protracter to measure the angle. The students all hold up their responses and the student closest earns a point. Play continues with new angles and the student with the most p

Teaching quadratics through business models offers a real-world approach for students to understand how quadratics apply to the world around them. This is a lesson that involves student participation to collect data and then use of that data to create a function relating price point to profit. The lesson is completely laid out in an easy to follow manner for an educator teaching quadratics this way for the first time.

This is a fun activity to do with your algebra students at any point during the school year (in the beginning as a precursor to the functions we will study, midway through the year as a check point, or at the end of the year as a closure activity.) The activity involves the students working together and using reasoning skills to match functions' equations, tables, and graphs. After that, students are then directed to group functions with other functions they believe are similar. The full lesson

Arithmetic sequences and series are not the most exciting concept to teach, but we know the importance of these concepts especially as students progress into higher math courses and their understanding of convergence and divergence is dependent upon this essential understanding. This purchase will clearly lay out a fun, interesting way for you to introduce and teach this concept to your students using a connection to the mathematician Carl Friedrich Gauss.

Exponential functions are extremely applicable to the world around us. These two chapters clearly explain how to teach exponential growth and exponential decay in real-world, relevant ways that engage the students in your classroom. If you like this lesson, check out my book "Teaching Math in Fun and Relevant Ways" which includes many more like it! Available on Amazon.

Students break into groups and play Jeopardy. Categories such as Verbal Equations, Solving One Step Equations, Solving Multi Step Equations, and Solving Equations with No Numbers. Students earn points for correct answers. Power point game connects directly to slides as questions are selected by students and goes directly back to the "home" screen after question is complete. Very easy to use.

PowerPoint lesson. Gives example problems that can easily be projected and solved during instruction. Students also have the option of printing out slides previous to class to minimize note taking time.
