Mizenko Math Lessons

This resource combines Harry Potter (information is provided for students who may not know Harry Potter) and linear change. Students interpret parts of slope-intercept to match equations to characters and determine their rates of change and what those represent in context. Students practice evaluating and interpreting function notation. Students create equations in slope-intercept form. Students graph many equations on one graph then find points of intersection. Students interpret points of inte

This is a hands on, student-centered activity that has students measuring the volume of a drip of water using science equipment and basic math calculations. Students generate a linear equation and do many conversions. This is a great lesson to get kids engaged in math, build relationships, promote problems solving, and try out cross-curricular material at a relatively simple level. Great for algebra 1 students at the beginning of the year or math 8 students at the end of the year. Post-able w

This is a BINGO board with 25 systems of equations review problems. Topics covered include solving systems using all methods, systems of inequalities, word problems, writing systems, and interpreting solutions. This was a whole period review activity that is easily adjusted for strong and struggling students.
