Love all the Yellowstone Resources? This is a wonderful opportunity to buy all of them in one spot at a cheaper price. These are all activities I did while in the park, or thought would be a perfect lesson for my students. Whether is calculating unit rates, proportions, or averages at Old Faithful these lessons are a great way to help students see where they can find application of math in our lives. Now including coordinate graphing activity also.

Whether you have chickens at your school, home, or not at all this is a great real world lesson for your students to apply mathematical concepts to the real world. There are three parts to this activity. The first part is incorporating a scaled drawing with certain requirements for what a coop must have. The student must draw their own blueprint of a coop. The second part is a which is a better buy? The activity requires the student to calculate the cost of a coop with an ad as well as write o

There is so much math that must be applied to creating your own fruit and vegetable garden. I created this activity after starting my own garden and realizing how much math is required. Whether you are converting inches to feet, finding area, using proportions, using spatial reasoning, or reading data there is so much math that is used. Students will be required to make a seed selection, collect data from how to plant the seeds, visual represent the garden with manipulatives, and put on graph pa

This activity has 3 different Yellowstone coordinate graphing pictures. This allows students to practice graphing in all 4 quadrants and incorporates integers as well as numbers with a .5 decimal. These fun graphing activities include a map of Yellowstone, Old Faithful, and the most common animal seen in the park, the bison.

What a fun way to teach proportional reasoning that applies to the real world? Look no further. Take a dive into Yellowstone National Park and learn more about their animals. The activity requires the student to compare ratios of bison with their babies as well as wolf and bear facts. The lesson even has an activity page where the students can find their own ratios.

This real world math application takes you into Olympic National Park. Your students will be be given fitness watch hike data based on different hikes in the park. They will have to transfer the information into a table and then graph it. Students will also be required to summarize and make inferences based on the data. They will find difference paces and unit rates (minutes/mile) Then students will be required to make predictions about future hikes by applying proportional relationships. Ther

This activity allows students to practice using a map to calculate distance and time traveled in the park. Students will have to get familiar with the map to make with a unit rate and convert minutes to hours. These are actual calculations I did daily when traveling in the park. This activity is fun from home but also great practice when you are at the park.

This activity allows your students to learn about a geyser, calculate the average eruptions as well as making predictions. Students are also required to make time calculations and answer real life questions in relation to Yellowstone National Park More recourses coming soon.

This engaging and interactive resource is perfect for reinforcing middle school math skills in a fun and dynamic way. In this activity, students embark on an exciting adventure by solving math problems to progress through a series of slides. Each slide presents a new challenge or choice and students get to choose their adventure choice. As students work through the activity, they will not only practice their problem-solving skills but also enjoy a sense of accomplishment with each slide they ad

Olympic National Park has daily predicted tide charts for their beaches. The goal of this activity is to graph the data and make predictions based on the graph. Questions incorporate understand of time, adding and subtracting decimals, and even averages. There is also a create your own question part of for this activity where the student can use current data to create questions.
