Every year I get my students excited about the NCAA Men's Basketball March Madness Tournament. I see articles written year after year from statisticians, sports journalist, celebrities, etc. about predicting the perfect bracket. Regardless that most have accepted it is nearly impossible, it has not deterred these enthusiast from finding an algorithm or a machine that can predict the outcomes. This packet guides students through 1) An explanation of what March Madness is all about 2) A reading a

I created this packet on tree diagrams for my probability unit so that students could work with one another to learn how to create a tree diagram on their own without my direct instruction. This gave me the freedom to help students that needed more individualized instruction and guidance. This packet was great to use before introducing the fundamental counting principle.

Help students understand how the distributive property works with an application they already know a lot about - food! This worksheet is used as an introduction and engagement to distributive property. Included in the file are pictures to print and laminate as a demonstration to the class, as well as notes and practice for the students to follow along.

This activity can be used as an assessment or as a station activity. There are 5 questions per unit (integers, properties and real numbers, rational numbers, expressions, equations and inequalities.) There is also a section for basic skill practice. I created this as a method to see which units each student was struggling with so that I could set up review and remediation depending on each students needs.

In this project, students must design a mall that meets the criteria of the "developers". Certain stores must meet a required area, there must be a minimum amount of space for walking room in the mall, the blueprint must follow a specific and consistent scale, and more. After designing the mall and calculating the area for they stores and halls of the mall, students use the requested paint and flooring prices to calculate how much it is going to cost them to add the flooring and paint. They w

Once you download this file and use it in your Algebra class, I am certain you will never want to teach another way! My students have loved every second of the blended learning format of my class. I have created google slides for each lesson's notes and practice. I allow students to work at their own pace, stopping occasionally to have their answers checked. This has allowed me more flexibility to work one-on-one with struggling students or in small groups. This format also allows for students

Students choose a dream destination and research to find how far away this location is from their home/school. With the distance and conversion helper on the back, they convert the the distance into feet, inches and centimeters. They then rewrite all of the measurements in scientific notation. (large numbers with positive exponents.) Next they measure an object in the room in centimeters or inches. They convert this measurement to feet and miles and write these new measurements in scientific not

I used this for the Rational Numbers unit for students to practice converting different forms of numbers and placing them in the appropriate spot on a number line.
