This activity discusses the relationship between exponential growth and decay, along with helping students develop the pattern formed during an exponential model. Students complete two activities, one involving folding a simple piece of paper, the second is based on cutting pieces of yarn. Each activity has a set of questions that students can answer or can be part of a teacher or student lead discussion. A fun activity that gets students working together and interacting with mathematical relat

This is my collection of 10 On Time Quizzes I created to have students complete as they enter into class. I use these each day and they are based on Integrated Algebra Regents test questions. I generally give each class from 5 to 8 minutes to complete each daily OTQ. I collect the OTQ after each day and grade them on a scale of 0 to 2 based on showing work and correctness.

This lab is an investigation of the diameter and circumference of circles. The goal with this lab to have the class discover the irrational number pi. Works great in small groups, individually, or with an entire class.

A lab that requires students to measure rectangular objects and calculate the lengths of their diagonals.

This is a 3 page assignment that gives students several equations and graphs for linear, quadratic, absolute value, and exponential functions. Students are required to sort out each type of graph based on either the equation or a picture. After, students are required to one example of each function, create a graph and answer a couple questions about that function.
