This set of guided notes is a fun way to teach your students the musical applications of transformations of sinusoidal functions. First, your students will locate an app on GeoGebra to both see and hear the difference in the note as its frequency (and thus period) and amplitude change. They will record a general sine function to represent each note, and then look at graphs of sine waves and determine which note they represent. Finally, they will write a piecewise function to represent the sou

This lesson teaches students how to apply information about normal distributions, means, standard deviations, and z-scores from real life data about height. The focus of this lesson is conceptual understanding; students will not be computing any standard deviations. However, they will use a given mean, standard deviation, and normal distribution to compute z-scores and percentiles for their own height, their classmates' heights, and celebrities' heights.

This is an interdisciplinary lesson designed to teach counting rhythms through the lens of math and fractions. No knowledge of music is required, it starts from the basics! This can be used in a math or music classroom.

A Squirrel's Trick of "Tree"t is a fun Halloween themed engineering challenge that can be used in the classroom or at a Family Math and Science Night. Students will make a "tree" out of various supplies and try to put as many "acorns" in the tree as possible. To earn more supplies, students can answer squirrel- related math questions correctly. The activity includes a supply list with directions, a picture of a sample "tree", and squirrel related math questions with an answer key.
