Students use ratios, rates, and unit rates to plan a cross-country road trip! Broken down into 3 parts (4 Google files): Doc 1: Part A - Choosing destinations and calculating distances Doc 2: Part B - Choosing rental vehicles based on price and fuel Doc 3: Part C - Choosing meal and hotel options; Calculating totals; Reflecting Slide 1: Map to use for planning You will get a copy of the Google folder containing all materials that can then be edited, printed, shared, etc. however you'd like.

A fun project for practice or assessment of Ratios, Rates, Proportions. Students are planning a road trip, considering and calculating for: -locations -distances -map scale -gas mileage -rental car pricing -hotel pricing -food pricing -time spent traveling Included are step by step instructions, prices, map. Students will need a ruler. It is based on Lancaster, PA but can be adjusted for any continental US city.

Students work in groups to figure out the answer to the Monty Hall Problem (you know, from Let's Make A Deal.. 2 goats, 1 car... ) You will need cards for each group: 2 number cards for the goats, 1 face card for the car. Basic probability and converting (fraction, decimal, percent) as well as critical thinking and reflection. I highly recommend finding a good Let's Make A Deal or Monty Hall YouTube video to show as an introduction for the activity. BUT - don't reveal the answer ahead of time!!

Project task using inequalities - writing, solving, graphing, and interpreting. Editable in Word to change to local-to-you amusement parks. (Full disclosure: I only loosely based the rules and prices on the real info!)

Trashketball Review Game! A bundle of all of my Trashketball's for 7th Grade Math topics (including mixed reviews).

Google Slides project with real world application of Rates and Unit Rates. Included in the folder: -Regular version: 9 slides -Honors version: 11 slides -Example version: regular version with most slides filled in as an example Students find an interesting or funny World Record, write it as a rate, then calculate it as a unit rate. In the "honors" version they also write their own rates that could tie or break the record. At the end there are extra slides where students find some other records a

Great ice-breaker type activity for the beginning of the school year! Also a great way to introduce new vocabulary! (Maybe add extra prep time for the groups to look up the new vocab word.) Includes directions and pre-made word cards. Word doc is editable to change to vocab of your choice! (Or alter direction as you need.)

A fun, interactive project (or alternative assessment) for the Pythagorean Theorem. The project is specific to my school and city, but it is a Word document so you could easily edit and adjust it however you'd like! Students use the map to measure then use Pythagorean Theorem to do calculations in order to compare a messenger pigeon to walking.

Students work in groups to solve 2-step equation with rational numbers. Once they have solved and checked, they brainstorm a story or situation for the problem. They work together to create a word problem for the equation. Then they present the word problem, equation, and solution to the rest of the class. (8 pre-made equations included)
