In this roundtable activity, groups of 3-4 students are each given the description of a different line, and four tasks to complete. After each task, the students rotate papers clockwise before beginning the next

How have Olympic swimming speeds changed over time? Are male and female swimmers getting faster at the same rate? Is a linear model a reasonable way to predict how fast future gold medalists will swim the 100-meter freestyle? In "Swimming in Scatter Plots," students will construct and analyze scatter plots using 100 years of Olympic swimming data. Half the class will have data from the Men’s 100-meter freestyle, and the other half will have data from the Women’s 100-meter freestyle. Then, pai

Use this quick cut-and-paste activity to get your algebra students thinking about how absolute value inequalities relate to compound inequalities. Cut and sort 12 cards depicting the four general absolute value inequalities (greater than, less than, greater than or equal to, less than or equal to.) Match with the equivalent graph and compound inequality, then paste the results onto the provided worksheet. This flexible activity can be used in a variety of classroom formats and student groupin
