Rooted in a story problem, this problem of the week asks students to apply their knowledge of linear relationships to answer an open-ended question. Students must write linear equations in slope intercept form to represent total earnings, create an X/Y table for their equations, then set-up a coordinate plane and graph their equations. This is a useful activity for end-of-unit review. This product includes two versions of the student worksheet: one that includes analyzing reasonable domain and
A fun in-class game rooted in accuracy, not speed. Students practice solving one step equations through the format of a classic tic tac toe game. This download includes game instructions, a game board, printable game pieces, and a student worksheet.
Celebrate Pi Day with this story problem based worksheet. Students will use given rates from the story to find the radius, diameter, circumference, and area. They will then calculate costs based on the area and determine the better investment option. This product comes with a student worksheet and answer key.

Student's must research and plan a Spring Break trip to New York for their family. They will need to organize transportation (land & air), accommodations, meals, and activities, while staying within a given budget. Using online tools, students will use real-life data for this project-based learning opportunity. The design of this project simulates a "real-life situation" by giving students freedom and lots of choice in their trip plan. There isn't one "right" answer to this project.
Rooted in a story problem, this problem of the week asks students to apply their knowledge of inequalities to an open-ended question. Students must write three compound one-variable inequalities, solve & justify their inequalities, then graph their solutions on a number line. This is a useful activity for end-of-unit review.
Rooted in a story problem, this problem of the week asks students to apply their knowledge of linear relationships AND systems to answer an open-ended question. Students must write a system of equations in slope intercept form, set-up a coordinate plane, and graph their system. This is a useful activity for end-of-unit review. At they end this will also compare and contrast solving with the Graphing Method versus the Substitution Method, using the provided story problem as evidence for their arg
